Key Metrics
Powered by EODHDP/E (TTM)
N/A
P/E (Price-to-Earnings)Shows how much investors pay for each $1 of profit. We display the TTM P/E (Trailing Twelve Months) which uses actual earnings from the last 4 quarters. This is more reliable than Forward P/E which uses analyst estimates.
TTM period through: 2026-03-31
Why N/A?
EPS (TTM) = -0.63 (negative or zero)
Cannot calculate P/E with negative earnings.
Forward P/E (estimated): 156.2
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Forward): 156.2
Div. Growth (5Y CAGR)
-21.4%
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
2.4x
Net Debt / EBITDAA leverage ratio showing how many years of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) it would take to repay net debt. EBITDA approximates operating cash generation. Lower ratios (e.g., <3x) are generally safer; higher (e.g., >5x) may indicate more financial risk.
TTM through: 2026-03-31
The quarterly value can spike when quarterly EBITDA is very low (e.g., one-time charges).
Quick guide: <2x manageable, >4x can be risky (sector-dependent).
ROE
-2.9%
ROE (Return on Equity)A profitability measure: how much profit is generated from shareholders’ equity. Higher isn’t always better if it comes from high debt.
EV/EBITDA
56.0x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.
Summary
Intel is undergoing a highly capital-intensive structural transformation to build out its foundry business amid intense competitive pressure and technological disruption. The combination of massive negative free cash flow, severe structural decline, and consecutive 49% dividend cuts makes this completely unsuitable for dividend value strategies. Not recommended for new positions given the extreme valuation (Forward P/E 156) and fundamental risks.
Sector Context
Intel is a legacy semiconductor designer and manufacturer currently attempting to build a massive third-party foundry business. The technology sector is explicitly excluded from conservative dividend strategies due to rapid technological obsolescence, massive ongoing capital expenditure requirements, and cyclical demand, which combine to threaten long-term dividend sustainability.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Maintains a relatively low Debt/Equity ratio of 0.40, providing some necessary balance sheet flexibility during its highly capital-intensive transition.
- • Retains a significant historical market presence in the Client Computing Group, despite recent competitive pressures and broader market challenges.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Operates in the explicitly excluded Technology sector, which carries high rapid obsolescence risk and massive capital expenditure requirements unsuitable for stable dividend investing.
- • Severe structural deterioration marked by 7 net loss quarters in the last 8, massive negative free cash flow (-$2.54B), and a 5-year revenue CAGR of -7.7%.
- • Fundamentally broken dividend profile featuring consecutive strategic cuts of ~49% in 2023 and 2024 to fund a highly capital-intensive foundry build-out.
- • Extreme overvaluation with a Forward P/E of 156.25 and TTM P/E unavailable due to negative trailing EPS (-$0.63), offering no margin of safety.
