What happened

Well supportedReported by 12 independent outlets

Intel reported Q3 2026 revenue of $16.51 billion, marking a 20.9% year-on-year increase, and achieved a non-GAAP profit of $0.52 per share, which beat analyst expectations. However, the company issued a Q4 2026 revenue guidance of $15.5 billion, falling below consensus estimates. Intel warned that a squeeze on memory chips was hurting PC sales, leading to a forecast that was $1 billion to $2 billion short of Wall Street estimates.
