Intel's Q2 FY2026 revenue grew 25.4% YoY to $16.13B with gross margin expanding sharply to 40.4%, but the company posted a massive net loss of $11.03B (EPS -$2.16), driven by items below the operating line since operating income was actually positive at $1.80B.
Key risk: Deteriorating Profitability Despite Revenue Growth
Although revenue grew 25.4% YoY, Intel posted a net loss of $11.03B versus a $2.92B loss a year earlier, a 278% deterioration that is not explained by operating performance alone (operating income was positive at $1.80B). This disconnect points to potentially large one-off charges, impairments, or tax items that could recur or signal deeper balance sheet issues.
