## Elevator Pitch

- Intel Corporation’s revenue growth looks muted into H1 FY26 as supply constraints, depleted buffer inventory, and delayed server wafers cap near-term upside despite healthy end demand.
- INTC’s foundry pivot still lacks a major external customer, and any Apple-related upside would likely not drive meaningful revenue for at least two more years.
- Intel continues to lose share in data center compute and CPUs, missing the GPU-driven AI wave while AMD strengthens its competitive position.
- Gross margins face multiple headwinds, including negative operating leverage and dilutive Panther Lake 18A ramp, with little concrete evidence yet of progress toward management’s 40 percent target.
- INTC stock's valuation discount versus peers has narrowed as the stock re-rated mainly on multiple expansion rather than improved EBITDA growth expectations, limiting the margin of safety.
