Intel Earnings Expected to Highlight Margin Pressure

Wall Street analysts expect Intel’s third-quarter earnings to reveal stable revenue but tighter margins amid intensifying GPU competition. The chipmaker faces pricing pressure from Nvidia and AMD in the data-center segment, while PC demand shows gradual recovery. Analysts project Q3 EPS near $0.32 on revenue of $14.4 billion. Investors are focused on operating leverage from the foundry business and capital expenditure discipline. Results will be closely watched for signs of semiconductor demand stabilization heading into 2026.
