Santa Clara, California-based Intel Corporation (INTC) designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells computing and related products and services worldwide. With a market cap of $99 billion, the company operates through Intel Products, Intel Foundry, and All Other segments. INTC is poised to report its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on Thursday, July 24, after the market closes.

Ahead of this event, analysts expect the company to report a loss of $0.14 per share, flat year-over-year from the year-ago quarter. The company has surpassed the Street’s bottom-line projections in two of the past four quarters, while missing on two occasions.

For fiscal 2025, analysts expect INTC’s loss to narrow 64.7% to $0.30, from a loss per share of $0.85 in fiscal 2024. Furthermore, its EPS is expected to grow 150% year over year to $0.15 in fiscal 2026. 

INTC stock has declined 33.8% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLK) 16.4% surge and the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 12.7% uptick during the same time frame.

On Apr. 24, Intel stock grew 4.4% following the release of its Q1 results. The company’s revenue came in at $12.7 billion, a slight decline from the year-ago quarter that surpassed Wall Street estimates. Moreover, INTC’s adjusted loss per share for the quarter declined 27.8% year-over-year to $0.02 and surpassed the consensus estimates by 85.7%.

Wall Street analysts are skeptical about INTC’s stock, with a "Hold" rating overall. Among 38 analysts covering the stock, one suggests a “Strong Buy,” 32 recommend a “Hold,” and five recommend a “Strong Sell.” While INTC currently trades above its mean price target of $22.68, the Street-high target of $62 indicates a potential upswing of 171.9% from the current market price.
