Did INTC Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

Intel posted a stronger-than-expected fourth quarter for fiscal 2025, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.15 clearing the $0.10 consensus by 56.58% and revenue of $13.67 billion edging past the $13.39 billion estimate by 2.14%, even as total revenue slipped 4.1%… Read more Intel posted a stronger-than-expected fourth quarter for fiscal 2025, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.15 clearing the $0.10 consensus by 56.58% and revenue of $13.67 billion edging past the $13.39 billion estimate by 2.14%, even as total revenue slipped 4.1% year over year. The primary engine behind the upside was momentum in the Data Center and AI segment, which grew 9% year over year to $4.74 billion, offsetting an 8% decline in the Client Computing Group. Those better-than-expected results came despite Intel Foundry continuing to weigh heavily on consolidated profitability, posting operating losses of $2.51 billion in the quarter. CEO Lip-Bu Tan highlighted Intel 18A, the company's most advanced U.S.-manufactured process node, as a strategic cornerstone for the AI era, though near-term momentum will face friction: Intel guided Q1 2026 revenue to a range of $11.70 billion to $12.70 billion with non-GAAP EPS of $0.00, reflecting supply constraints expected to be at their tightest before improving in the second quarter.

Key Takeaways

  • DCAI revenue grew 9% YoY driven by data center demand and AI adoption
  • Exceeded Q4 expectations across revenue, gross margin, and EPS
  • Non-GAAP R&D and MG&A expenses reduced 14% YoY to $4.0 billion
  • Headcount reduced to 85,100 from 108,900 a year ago through restructuring

“Our conviction in the essential role of CPUs in the AI era continues to grow. We delivered a solid finish to the year and made progress on our journey to build a new Intel. The introduction of our first products on Intel 18A – the most advanced process technology developed and manufactured in the United States – marks an important milestone, and we're working aggressively to grow supply to meet strong customer demand. Our priorities are clear: sharpen execution, reinvigorate engineering excellence, and fully capitalize on the vast opportunity AI presents across all of our businesses.”
