Key statistics
The headline figures for INTC.
As of October 16, 2026, INTC trades at $89.85, with a market value of $474.96B, no P/E ratio (its trailing earnings are negative) and a dividend yield of 0.56%.
What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of INTC's valuation, growth and risks.
INTC has no meaningful P/E, because the company lost money over the last 12 months. On sales, the stock trades at 9.09 times, 19.6% above the sector median of 7.6. Its trailing earnings stand at -$2.02 per share.
The company is losing money, with a net margin of -19.79% and an operating margin of 12.19%, and a return on equity of -10.72%, below the sector median of 13.4%. With revenue growth of 25.40%, INTC is 1.2 percentage points faster than the sector median of 24.2%. The balance sheet and payout round out the picture, with debt-to-equity of 0.49 and a trailing dividend yield of 0.56% ($0.5 a share a year).
The July 23, 2026 report delivered EPS of $0.42 against the $0.22 analysts had expected, a beat of 90.91%. Even so, the stock dropped 7.89% in the following session.
The earnings record shows 3 beats in 4 reports, yet the stock fell in the first session after every one of those 3 beats. The largest of the earlier reactions came after the January 22, 2026 report, which beat the estimate by 87.50% while the stock fell 17.03%. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $1.52 this fiscal year (growth of 262.3%) and $2.08 the year after (growth of 36.9%).
INTC typically moves about 4.47% in a day. The price sits 36.88% below its 52-week high of $142.35. Over the last 18 months, insiders disposed of $7.5M while buying $10.2M. Insider sales are often arranged ahead of time, so they carry less weight than open-market purchases.

Inside its 52-week range of $32.89 to $142.35, the price stands at 52% of the range and is 36.88% below the high.

Earnings beat ›
The July 23, 2026 report beat the EPS estimate by 90.91%, and the share price fell 7.89% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, July 23, 2026
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 50-day SMA at $103.17 sits above the price, and the 200-day SMA at $84.56 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI is 31.4, which is in the bearish zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Following the July 23, 2026 report, the share price dropped 7.89% in the first session, even though INTC beat estimates in 3 of the last 4 reports.
INTC is in a mixed trend, trading above its 200-day average of $84.56 but below its 50-day average of $103.17. A close above the 50-day would push both signals higher, while a close below the 200-day would push both lower. Right now the closest level below the price is the 200-day SMA at $84.56, and the closest level above is the 50-day SMA at $103.17.
Momentum, with the RSI in the bearish zone, still points lower.

Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in INTC, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in INTC today could grow to about $20,988 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $135,619 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,248. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.56% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
INTC Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $121 for INTC by 2030 in the base case, from $89.85 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $37.14. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on INTC's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
