The Comeback Kid? Where Will Intel Be in 1 Year?investment

The Comeback Kid? Where Will Intel Be in 1 Year?

By James Hires – May 4, 2026 at 8:17AM ESTKey PointsIntel had a rough 2025 but its Q1 2026 results show signs of recovery. The company's pivot toward being more of a foundry company seems to be paying off. It has secured a manufacturing deal with Amazon and is in talks with Google. Rocky is a classic movie and one of my all-time favorites. Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers are great in it, and the soundtrack is legendary. Plus, who doesn't love a good underdog story? Well, a few months ago, I wasn't so sure Intel (INTC +5.42%) had a Rocky-style comeback in it. I thought, with a high degree of certainty, that it was an over-the-hill company doomed to lose its title to its younger and more innovative competitors. But, in light of the company's first-quarter 2026 results, I think I might have been wrong. This old dog still has some fight in it yet. Image source: Getty Images. Intel didn't hear no bell The core of Intel's business has historically been chip design and manufacturing. It used to be Apple's go-to chip producer, but it lost that contract in 2020 and since then, its revenue had been on a decline and its margins have been shrinking. And while the company's net margin is still negative, its gross margin is up slightly from where it was at the end of 2025, and the company's revenue appears to be on the mend. Intel's revenue for the quarter ended March 28 totaled $13.6 billion, up 7.2% year over year and $1.4 billion over the company's prior outlook. Its gross margin for the quarter was 41%, up 1.8 points year over year and 6.5 points above the outlook. Finally, Intel's earnings per share (EPS) was $0.29, up $0.16 year over year and much better than its projection to just break even. The bulk of that revenue growth seems to have come from the company's data-centric artificial intelligence (AI) segment, which grew 22% over Q1 2025, and the company's foundry segment, which was up 20% sequentially.

Meta's Post-Q1 2026 Earnings Price Slump Might Continue

Sandeep G. Rao2K FollowersFollow5ShareSavePlay(8min)CommentsSummaryMeta Platforms (META) posted a Q1 2026 diluted EPS of $10.44, boosted by an $8.03B one-time tax benefit. Excluding the tax benefit, META’s Q1 diluted EPS would have been 30% lower, highlighting limited operational EPS growth. Ad revenue remains dominant, with average price per ad up 12% YoY but ad volume flat; Reality Labs shows no meaningful revenue uptick. Raised 2026 capex guidance to $125–145B due to higher component costs, while inflation and supply disruptions pose near-term EPS risks.

Green group warns of disturbance to uninhabited island known for breeding seabirds

Three tern species breed on Hong Kong’s outlying rocky islands during the summer. The island is near Po Toi Island.AdvertisementOn the second day of the mainland’s five-day Labour Day “golden week” holiday, a bird watcher captured five people on the islands unloading backpacks and belongings, according to a photo posted by non-profit Green Hope Hong Kong.“These birds are extremely sensitive by nature; if disturbed, they may abandon their nests. Once they abandon their breeding grounds on the island, it is very difficult for them to return in the future,” a post by Green Hope stated.Advertisement“We urge boat operators and tourists to avoid picking up visitors for transport to, or landing on, these tern breeding islands during the ecologically sensitive period.”AdvertisementSelect VoiceSelect Speed0.8x0.9x1.0x1.1x1.2x1.5x1.75x00:0000:001.00x
