Intel Beats Earnings Estimates, Boosts Spending Amid AI-Driven Chip Demand
Intel reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, with revenue of $16.13 billion and adjusted earnings of 42 cents per share, driven by rising demand for AI-related data center CPUs. The company forecast third-quarter revenue between $15.8 billion and $16.8 billion, exceeding analyst estimates, and plans to increase capital spending over the next two years to support AI-driven growth and advanced chip manufacturing, including its 14A process. Shares rose in after-hours trading despite a recent broader chip sector selloff.
