The stock cratered below $100 billion in late 2024. Eighteen months later, Intel's market cap sits near $628 billion. FY2025 revenue was $52.9 billion, and the stock surged 170% in early 2026. The Client Computing Group (CCG) — laptops, desktops, workstations — generated $32.2 billion in FY2025, making it the company's largest segment by far. The Data Center and AI Group (DCAI) brought in $16.9 billion, up 22% in Q1 2026 as AI inference demand pulled Xeon server processors back into growth. This segment lost over $10 billion in FY2025 because Intel is building capacity years ahead of revenue. The Altera FPGA business was sold to Silver Lake for $8.75 billion. Q1 2026 showed early signs it might work — revenue of $13.6 billion beat guidance by $1.4 billion, AI businesses reached 60% of the mix, and non-GAAP gross margins recovered to 41%. Intel Corporation reported $52.9 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2025, with Q1 2026 showing 7% year-over-year growth to $13.6 billion as AI-driven businesses reached 60% of revenue. Market capitalization surged to approximately $628 billion by May 2026 after the stock rose 170% in early 2026, driven by 18A manufacturing success, US government equity investment, and reports of Apple evaluating Intel Foundry. NVIDIA's data center revenue exceeded $47 billion in FY2024 — nearly three times Intel's entire DCAI segment at $16.9 billion. The number that tells Intel's story isn't $52.9 billion in FY2025 revenue. It's the gap between $79 billion (FY2021 peak) and where the company sits now — a 33% decline in four years while competitors grew. Revenue hit $13.6 billion, beating guidance by $1.4 billion. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.29 versus a consensus of $0.01 — not a small beat, a 29x beat. The stock's 170% surge to a ~$628 billion market cap reflects this inflection, but it also prices in a lot of future execution. The Altera sale to Silver Lake ($8.75 billion for 51%) helped the balance sheet but also removed a revenue stream. Intel Foundry lost over $10 billion operationally in FY2025 — the cost of building fabs years before customers fill them. Capital expenditure runs above $25 billion annually. Q2 2026 guidance of $13.8-$14.8 billion suggests management sees continued momentum. Everything else — the workforce cut to 75,000, the Altera divestiture for $8.75 billion, the organizational flattening — is about removing friction from these three bets. The timeline is tight, the execution bar is high, and the stock at $628 billion already prices in substantial success. Arthur Rock raised $2.5 million in a single afternoon. That shift — painful, identity-destroying, and absolutely correct — is the reason Intel became a $79 billion revenue company three decades later.

In FY2025 the Client Computing Group covering laptops, desktops, and workstations generated $32.2 billion, making it Intel's largest segment by far. The Data Center and AI Group brought in $16.9 billion and grew 22% in Q1 2026 as AI inference demand pulled Xeon server processors back into growth. Client PCs therefore still contribute roughly twice the revenue of the data center business.
Intel Foundry posted an operating loss of about $10.318 billion in FY2025, the cost of building fab capacity years before external customers fill it. The segment burns roughly $2-3 billion in operating losses each quarter. Those losses are the central drag on Intel's consolidated profitability as the foundry ramps.
Intel reported Q1 2026 revenue of $13.6 billion, beating its guidance by $1.4 billion, with AI-driven businesses reaching 60% of the mix. Non-GAAP earnings came in at $0.29 per share against a consensus near $0.01, and non-GAAP gross margin recovered to 41%. Management guided Q2 2026 revenue to $13.8-14.8 billion, signaling continued momentum.
Intel reported a GAAP net loss of roughly $1.87 billion in FY2025 even on $52.853 billion of revenue, because restructuring charges, asset impairments, and the cost of cutting 33,900 jobs hit the income statement at once. The workforce reduction took headcount from about 108,900 down to roughly 75,000. These one-time charges, layered on the foundry's $10.3 billion operating loss, pushed the bottom line negative.
