Intel Shares See Boost

Intel's shares have jumped following a stronger-than-expected Q3 earnings report, signalling a potential turnaround for the chipmaker. Revenue surpassed expectations, driven by renewed demand for PC processors. The company posted a net income of $4.1 billion, a significant rebound from the previous year's loss. Government investments and strategic partnerships with companies like Nvidia have also contributed to this upswing.

Despite a cautious outlook for the next quarter, Intel anticipates adjusted earnings of $0.08 per share. The company is addressing supply constraints, particularly with its older Intel 10 and Intel 7 manufacturing nodes, which are expected to continue into 2026. Intel is working to optimise output and shift demand towards products where supply is available.

CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took over in March, highlighted the company's progress in becoming more responsive to customer needs and improving its technology. Intel is also positioning itself to play a more significant role in AI, capitalising on opportunities within its portfolio.
