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): 144.9
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Forward): 144.9
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
1.1x
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
57.0x
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 and risky structural transformation amid intense competitive pressure and secular technological disruption. The combination of massive negative free cash flow, recurrent net losses, and a fundamentally broken dividend profile makes this company completely unsuitable for conservative dividend strategies. Better opportunities exist in stable, essential service businesses with proven business models and sustainable cash flows.
Sector Context
Intel designs and manufactures microprocessors and semiconductor components for personal computers, data centers, and embedded systems. For conservative dividend investors, the semiconductor hardware sector is typically avoided due to rapid technological obsolescence, intense cyclicality, and massive capital expenditure requirements that frequently compete with sustainable dividend payouts.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Maintains a relatively conservative debt-to-equity ratio of 0.40x and net debt-to-EBITDA of 1.07x, providing some balance sheet flexibility amidst its highly capital-intensive turnaround efforts.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Operates in the explicitly excluded Hardware Technology sector, facing massive capital expenditure requirements and permanent structural obsolescence risks to its core x86 architecture from ARM and RISC-V alternatives.
- • Severe fundamental deterioration characterized by 7 net loss quarters in the last 8, massive negative free cash flow (-$2.54 billion), and a negative TTM EPS (-$0.63).
- • Fundamentally broken dividend profile featuring consecutive strategic cuts of approximately 49% in 2023 and 2024, with current payouts completely unsupported by free cash flow.
- • Faces massive structural headwinds including escalating geopolitical export controls restricting sales to China and significant multi-billion dollar patent litigation exposure.
