I’m voting bearish, expecting $Intel(INTC)$ to finish down around 5% to 10% after earnings. The stock has rallied sharply this year, raising expectations significantly. Even a decent quarter may disappoint if management doesn't provide stronger guidance or confidence for the second half.

My focus will be on Intel’s 18A foundry progress and data center business. Server CPU demand has improved, but investors want proof that AI investments can drive sustainable profits, better margins, and meaningful external foundry customers. Any disappointment could trigger selling.

I remain positive on Intel’s long-term turnaround, but I think this earnings report could become a "sell the news" event. With expectations running high, my prediction is a 5%-10% pullback after the results. If the market overreacts, I may even consider adding to my position for the long term.

    [Strong]Thanks for sharing. May I know, in your view, what key indicators would provide evidence that Intel’s AI investments can translate into sustainable long-term growth?

      I look for consistent AI data center revenue growth, stronger free cash flow, expanding margins, and more enterprise customers. AI demand is encouraging, but the real test is whether Intel can consistently turn its AI investments into profitable growth and sustainable cash flow over time.
