📊 What are INTC's current earnings compared to analyst expectations?

Intel's latest reported earnings show a net loss of $153 million for the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2024. This compares unfavorably to the same period last year, where the company reported a net income of $4.37 billion. The decline in earnings is a significant concern and reflects the ongoing challenges faced by Intel in maintaining profitability. |Ticker|Name|Date|Net Income YoY|Total Revenue YoY|Diluted EPS YoY|code|market_code| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |INTC.O|Intel|20240331|84.21242774566474|8.61288945795988|86.36363636363636|INTC|185| |INTC.O|Intel|20240630|-212.28784792939578|-0.8958220712024095|-208.57142857142858|INTC|185| |INTC.O|Intel|20240930|-5580.322580645161|-6.173188303432688|-5642.857142857141|INTC|185| |INTC.O|Intel|20241231|-105.75187969924814|-7.4386602622354925|-104.76190476190477|INTC|185| In terms of diluted EPS, Intel reported a loss of $0.03 for the latest quarter, which is a stark contrast to the $0.09 EPS reported in the same quarter last year. This indicates that not only has the company's bottom line been affected, but it has also struggled to generate positive earnings per share. Analysts had expected a net income of $400 million for the quarter, which suggests that Intel's actual performance was significantly below expectations. This discrepancy between actual and expected earnings is a red flag for investors, indicating that Intel may be facing operational challenges or strategic missteps.
