Intel Stock Drops on Weak Guidance After Q4 2025 Earnings

Intel Corporation (INTC) shares fell sharply after the company issued soft guidance for the current quarter alongside its Q4 2025 earnings report on January 25, 2026. The sell-off followed a significant rally, with the stock having gained approximately 109% in the 52 weeks preceding the earnings release. For Q4 2025, Intel reported revenue of $13.7 billion, beating analyst estimates of $13.4 billion. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.15, nearly double the $0.08 forecast. However, net losses widened to $591 million. The company forecast Q1 2026 revenue between $11.7 billion and $12.7 billion, with a midpoint below Street estimates, and guided for breakeven adjusted earnings, missing the expected $0.05. Intel attributed the weak outlook to supply issues it expects to ease in Q2 2026.
