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: 2026-06-30
Why N/A?
EPS (TTM) = -2.12 (negative or zero)
Cannot calculate P/E with negative earnings.
Forward P/E (estimated): 76.9
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Forward): 76.9
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
5.7x
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: 2026-06-30
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
-10.7%
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
139.5x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.
Dividend Summary

Summary
Intel is undergoing a highly capital-intensive and risky structural transformation amid intense competitive pressure and secular technological disruption away from its core x86 architecture. The combination of chronic net losses, an elevated debt load, and a fundamentally broken dividend profile makes this a highly speculative turnaround rather than a viable income investment. Not recommended for new positions.
Sector Context
Intel operates in the semiconductor industry, which is highly cyclical, intensely competitive, and massively capital intensive. For DGI strategies, companies in this space require pristine balance sheets and dominant, unassailable market positions to sustain dividends through downcycles—criteria Intel currently completely lacks.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Maintained positive free cash flow of $4.45 billion despite extensive operational and restructuring losses.
- • The U.S. government's 10% equity stake provides a capital backstop, though it introduces significant regulatory and political oversight.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Severe fundamental deterioration highlighted by 7 net loss quarters in the last 8, negative ROE (-10.72%), and a negative TTM EPS (-$2.12).
- • Fundamentally broken capital return profile featuring consecutive ~49% strategic dividend cuts in 2023 and 2024, alongside ongoing shareholder dilution (-3.64% net buyback yield).
- • Elevated leverage with a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 5.67x and massive capital requirements for its internal foundry model pivot.
- • Facing structural obsolescence risks from the secular shift away from its core x86 architecture toward ARM/RISC-V, compounded by severe geopolitical export controls.
