Arabic version: إنتل تسجل أقوى نمو في الإيرادات منذ 2011

According to Cnbc, Intel reported better-than-expected second-quarter results, with adjusted earnings per share of 42 cents on revenue of $16.1 billion. Analysts surveyed by LSEG had expected adjusted earnings of 21 cents per share and revenue of $14.42 billion. Revenue rose 25%, Intel’s fastest growth rate for any quarter since the third quarter of 2011.

Intel said it expects third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 38 cents and revenue between $15.8 billion and $16.8 billion. LSEG analysts had expected revenue of $15.1 billion and earnings per share of 27 cents. Shares climbed immediately after the report but fell during trading on Friday. Through Thursday’s close, Intel stock was up more than 170% in 2026, despite dropping 28% in July.

Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan said artificial intelligence was creating demand for computing capacity. Intel’s client computing group, which produces PC chips, posted 13% revenue growth to $8.9 billion. Its data center business grew 59% to $6.3 billion. Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner said Intel was supply constrained as data center customers sought more products than the company could produce. Intel said it had reached 10 long-term agreements for server CPUs.

The company expects PC sales to remain flat in the third quarter because of a memory shortage. Intel’s foundry reported $5.8 billion in sales, up 31% from a year earlier, while the company targets a meaningful increase in capital expenditures next year. Gross margin recovered to 42%, from 2.5% in the year-ago period, which Intel attributed to scale, higher-margin chip sales and pricing.
