Same story — hours-to-days context vs months ahead.
The next trading day will hinge on Intel’s earnings call and any new customer announcements. A positive surprise could lift the stock and validate the 9 % move priced in by options traders. A weak beat or no new orders would likely dampen the rally and could trigger a pullback.
Over the coming months, the focus will shift to Intel’s ability to convert its 18A fabs into profitable foundry revenue and to secure commitments for the 14A process. The company’s guidance on break‑even timing and customer pipeline will be critical for long‑term valuation.
What happened
Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) will report third‑quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday at 5 p.m. ET. Analysts project adjusted earnings of 40 ¢ per share on $16.49 billion in revenue, a 21 % year‑over‑year increase. The chip‑making division posted a $2.1 billion loss last quarter, with only $293 million of its $5.8 billion revenue coming from outside customers. Kalshi traders have already traded more than $35,000 on what Intel executives will say, betting heavily on manufacturing talk and less on naming new customers.
Why it matters
Intel’s earnings are a barometer for its manufacturing turnaround and its ability to attract outside foundry customers. A strong earnings beat could validate the company’s plan to break even by the end of 2027 and support its $5.8 billion revenue from the new 18A process. Conversely, weak results or a lack of new customer commitments would raise doubts about the viability of its expensive fabs and could trigger a 9 % post‑earnings move priced by options traders.
How it affects you
