Intel posts $16.1 billion Q2 revenue, up 25% in strongest growth in over 15 years

AI Market Summary
Intel's Q2 2026 results showed a sharp fundamental inflection: revenue rose 25% YoY to $16.1B and adjusted EPS doubled expectations, led by 59% growth in Data Center & AI and improved margins and cash generation. Higher capex guidance and above-consensus Q3 outlook reinforce demand for advanced nodes, while the expanded Synopsys 14A EDA certification improves foundry ecosystem credibility. Near-term supply constraints remain a risk.
