The company said proceeds will support corporate needs including capital expenditures and working capital; underwriters have a 30-day option to buy an additional $2.25 billion.

Intel Q1 2026 Earnings Beat; Stock Jumps 20%
Intel reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter 2026 results driven by rising demand for data-center processors tied to AI deployments. Revenue was about $13.6 billion versus analyst expectations near $12.4 billion, and adjusted EPS was $0.29 versus $0.01 expected. Management cited the ability to sell previously written-down inventory and to implement price increases. Intel still recorded a GAAP net loss of $4.28 billion as it continues heavy investments in advanced manufacturing; management provided Q2 revenue guidance of $13.8–$14.8 billion, above consensus. The company highlighted renewed traction in its data-center business (recent reports noted ~22% data-center revenue growth to $5.1 billion). Shares jumped roughly 20–21% after hours; competitors AMD and Arm also rose (~6%). The report noted ongoing technical and timing risks at Intel’s 18A process and continued work on 14A, packaging/fab investments, and expansion into data-center GPUs and partnerships to supply Tesla/SpaceX fabs.
Intel could hit $200 per share in two years, says Melius analyst
Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes has set a buy rating on Intel with a $165 price target, implying about 70% upside from the previous close, but sees the stock reaching as high as $200 per share within two years. Reitzes bases his bullish outlook on potential foundry agreements with Apple, Tesla, and another hyperscaler, and strong server CPU pricing and AI PC mix that could drive product earnings above $4. He also notes a Reuters report that Intel is considering a deal to help SK Hynix manufacture memory chips in the U.S., potentially leasing part of its Ohio facility. Intel shares have gained roughly 300% over the past 12 months, and the stock was up more than 4% on the day. The analyst's view contrasts with consensus, as only 15 of 50 analysts rate it a buy.
