Intel Faces High Expectations as AI Chip Growth Fuels Stock Rally and Competitive Pressures Intel’s stock has surged very sharply over the past year, supported by a turnaround story centered on AI-focused CPUs, advanced 18A/14A manufacturing, and a US government equity stake of about 9.9%.
Apple has a preliminary deal for Intel to manufacture some chips in the US starting in 2026, while Intel is also courting major PC makers and hyperscalers for its 18A-based processors and packaging technologies.
At the same time, Intel’s server CPU share in Q1 2026 stood at 54.9% as AMD and Arm gained ground, foundry operations continue to report sizeable quarterly losses of about US$2.5b, and new competition is emerging from Nvidia’s Vera CPU.
The picture that emerges is of a company with strong AI and foundry ambitions, high investor expectations, and meaningful operational and competitive challenges still in play.
Readers may want to pay close attention to execution on the Apple foundry ramp, progress in reducing foundry losses, and server CPU share trends, especially given references to a forward P/E above 150 and analyst commentary highlighting valuation concerns and mixed ratings. Board Change • May 15

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 16% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (16% increase in shares outstanding). Annonce • Dec 16

She will lead Intel's newly integrated global marketing and communications organization, unifying corporate reputation, brand strategy, and market engagement. Weckesser joins Intel from SambaNova, where she served as chief marketing officer and helped build the company's brand and drive demand for its AI platforms. She previously led U.S. marketing and communications at NIO Inc. and spent nearly a decade in global marketing and communications roles at Cisco. In addition to his current role as chief of staff to the CEO, Pushkar Ranade will also serve as interim chief technology officer to help formulate the company's advanced technology strategy and to consolidate and develop critical emerging technologies, such as quantum computing, advanced interconnects, and novel materials within the new CTO Office.

Intel Reportedly in Talks to Buy SambaNova Systems According to recent media reports, Intel Corporation (NasdaqGS:INTC) is on track to acquire AI chip startup SambaNova(SambaNova Systems, Inc.). SambaNova offers a full-stack AI platform that helps run AI applications both on private clouds and in data centers. Rumors around the deal started in October, but they seem to be getting more credible as time passes, especially with the two companies already having an existing relationship. Lip Bu-Tan, who is the CEO of Intel, is also the executive chairman of SambaNova. Intel Capital has already made an investment in the company, and Japanese tech company SoftBank (SFTBY), which took a stake in Intel in August, is also a stakeholder in SambaNova. This brings back the AI circular economy debate, but the relationship raises the probability of an eventual acquisition of SambaNova by Intel. The deal will help Intel penetrate a market segment it has been lacking in. As things stand, Intel does not offer AI appliances like the Nvidia (NVDA) DGX racks or GroqRack. SambaNova sells similar racks and, therefore, allows Intel to enter the enterprise AI market to snatch market share from other AI companies. The fact that SambaNova already has some traction in finance, healthcare, defense, and the government is a positive sign for Intel if the acquisition goes through. Investors would need to wait for regulatory approval and initial feasibility studies before a deal is finalized. Major Estimate Revision • Dec 10

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 50% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Annonce • Oct 31

An arrangement has not yet been finalized, they said, and it’s possible a deal won’t materialize. Ericsson is a longtime customer of Intel, which has in recent years struggled to keep pace with rivals such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung Electronics Co. Former Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger was pushed out of the firm last year after his costly plan to turn the company into a maker of chips for other businesses failed to deliver results fast enough for its board. Intel has since been slashing costs and looking to sell off noncore businesses to bolster its finances. And last week, the company said it will spin off its network and infrastructure division into a standalone company. In April, the chipmaker agreed to sell a 51% stake in its programmable chips unit Altera to Silver Lake Management. Intel said in a statement that it has “begun the process of identifying strategic investors.” Similar to the Altera arrangement, Intel said it plans to remain an anchor investor in the networking spinoff, “enabling us to benefit from future upside.” Ericsson declined to provide a statement, saying it doesn’t comment “on the business of its partners” or rumors and speculation. Intel had been exploring options for the enterprise networking division for months, Bloomberg previously reported. NEX chief Sachin Katti wrote in an memo first reported by CRN that the separate company would focus on chips for communications, networking and Ethernet connectivity. Intel would retain a stake in the company. Many of Ericsson’s hardware products rely on chips designed by Intel for its mobile network equipment. The companies formed an even tighter relationship early last year when Ericsson announced its future infrastructure would be built on Intel’s Xeon Next-Gen processors for greater speed and energy efficiency.

Intel Reportedly Close to Unveiling Deal to Sell Altera to Silver Lake Intel Corporation (NasdaqGS:INTC) is nearing an agreement to sell a stake in its programmable chips unit to Silver Lake Management (Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C.), as the struggling US company begins to spin off non-central businesses and assets. Intel may announce a deal to sell Altera (Altera Corp.) to the private equity firm as soon as this week, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing a private arrangement. The pair have been hammering out an agreement that involved Intel selling a majority stake in the unit, Bloomberg News reported previously. Intel agreed in 2015 to pay roughly $17 billion for Altera, whose multi-use chips are primarily deployed in telecommunications networks. In 2024, the US chipmaker said it would look to sell a stake in Altera — part of a broader plan to turn its business around. Altera drew interest from Lattice Semiconductor Corp. and a group of buyout firms, Bloomberg News has reported. Some suitors had valued Altera at as little as $9 billion. While talks are advanced, an agreement could still be delayed or fall apart, the people said. Market volatility amid White House tariff announcements has caused many dealmakers to put transactions on hold. Representatives for Intel and Silver Lake didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
