Intel is scheduled to announce its earnings on Thursday, April 24, 2025. Analysts expect the company to break even this quarter, forecasting an EPS of $0, compared to adjusted earnings of approximately $0.18 per share in the same quarter last year. Revenue is projected to fall by around 3% to $12.31 billion. Intel has been facing considerable challenges in its CPU segment due to continued market share erosion in both server and client computing, along with modest overall market growth. Additionally, the industry's broader shift from CPUs to GPUs in the AI era has weighed on Intel's performance. Historically, Intel stock has tended to underperform following earnings releases, with the stock delivering positive returns just 30% of the time one day after earnings over the past five years.
Intel currently holds a market capitalization of $82 billion. Over the past twelve months, the company generated $53 billion in revenue but operated at a loss, posting an operating loss of $4.7 billion and a net loss of $19 billion. For those seeking upside with less volatility than individual equities, the Trefis High-Quality portfolio offers an alternative. It has outperformed the S&P 500 and returned over 91% since its launch.

INTC observed 1D, 5D, and 21D post-earnings return
A lower-risk approach (though only if correlation is meaningful) involves analyzing the relationship between short- and medium-term post-earnings returns. Traders can identify the strongest correlation and position accordingly. For example, if there's a strong correlation between 1D and 5D returns, a positive 1D result may suggest a 'long' position over the next 5 days. Below is correlation data based on both 5-year and 3-year (more recent) datasets. Note that 1D to 5D correlation refers to the relationship between the one-day return post earnings and the subsequent 5-day return.

Peer earnings performance can also influence how a stock reacts to its own results. Often, some impact is priced in before the company announces its results. Below is historical post-earnings performance data for Intel compared with peers who reported just ahead of Intel. Peer results are also based on one-day (1D) post-earnings movements.

Pelosi's prime profits prove it's time to ban Congress' stock trading
Gee, look at that: Nancy and Paul Pelosi had yet another 'lucky' year on the stock market in 2024. What will it take for Congress to crack down on its members' insider trading? New required disclosures show the former House speaker and her hubby raked in $7.8 million to $42.5 million last year, bumping their estimated net worth to as much $413 million. (The law doesn't make them share exact numbers.) And a good chunk of that eye-popping wealth comes from their impressive stock portfolio, which is so consistently lucrative that entire social-media accounts are dedicated to tracking the Pelosis' buys and sells. Nancy maintains that she owns no stocks (it's all hubby Paul) and (says a mouthpiece) she 'has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions.' Which, even if she said that herself, under oath, leaves plenty of room for Paul to trade on the basis of inside information — whether things she learns on the job, or info fed to either of them for favors past, present or future from the ex-speaker. Certainly, Paul has made some uncannily sharp moves in the markets. In fact, his portfolio outperformed every major hedge fund last year. In July, he sold 5,000 shares of Microsoft, months before the Federal Trade Commission announced an antitrust investigation into the company. And he dumped 2,000 Visa shares months before the Justice Department sued the company for allegedly monopolizing the debit-card market. If he were an average Joe, the Securities and Exchange Commission would be picking through his records with a fine-tooth comb — because that kind of foresight reeks of insider knowledge. Fine; maybe Paul is a modern-day Nostradamus, somehow working his market magic without the least bit of impropriety. But it sure is fishy for any top official's family member to pull in millions this way, year after year after year. We doubt hard proof will ever come to light; the Pelosis are far too smart to leave a clear trail. But they're only the most notable examples of this game: Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle regularly make good money off the market; the portfolios of dozens of Democrats and Republicans in Congress beat the S&P 500 in 2024, according to watchdog Unusual Whales. Maybe they're just really good at making trades — but the simple fact is that neither the House nor Senate does anything serious to prevent such abuse of privileged information. Even if all (or the majority) don't use that knowledge, allowing them to make trades offers too many opportunities for corruption. And when they keep scoring big on market bets for decades, a la the Pelosis, it reeks. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have both signaled they would support a ban on congressional stock trading — the kind that Nancy blocked repeatedly as speaker. Getting that passed before next year's midterms should be a priority for Republicans — clear proof that they want to clean up Congress. If a career in the House no longer makes it easy to get rich, the next potential Pelosi might just go into an entirely different line of work.

Stock futures rise after S&P 500 notches a fresh record high: Live updates
Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on June 27, 2025. NYSE Stock futures rose Sunday evening as investors look to cap a stunning month for stocks. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures each added about 0.1%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 130 points, or 0.3%. The market's swift recovery this month comes as investors continue to monitor the whipsaw of global trade negotiations, which can quickly sway market sentiment and pose an ongoing threat to the strength of this rally. Still, June's surge reflects the exuberance of investors who are relieved that most of the Trump administration's most dire tariff threats haven't been implemented. This month, the S&P 500 is up 4.4%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq has jumped nearly 6.1%. The Dow, meanwhile, has added about 3.7% month to date. U.S. equities are also coming off a fresh high on Friday, with the S&P 500 reaching a new record in more than four months after ending the session about 0.5% higher at 6,173.07 — overtaking its previous record of 6,147.43. At its low in April, the S&P 500 was down nearly 18% for the year when global trade and tariff tensions rocked the market. The Nasdaq Composite hit an all-time high and closed at a record after adding about 0.5% on Friday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 1%. Stocks on Friday had pulled back from their session highs after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. is immediately "terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada" in response to Ottawa's decision to move forward with a digital services tax on American tech firms. But earlier in the day, stocks ran up after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said late Thursday that a framework between China and the U.S. on trade had been finalized, and that the Trump administration soon expects to reach deals with 10 major trading partners. Investors remain confident that the strength in price indicates good news for the market moving forward, particularly as opportunities to buy the dip emerge. "The bearish narratives—Middle East conflict, tariffs, soft economic data—keep getting invalidated by the price action," said Ken Mahoney, CEO of Mahoney Asset Management. "Every chance the market has had to break down has failed. Instead, it continues to do what bull markets do best: climb the wall of worry. We think this run can continue, not without volatility to the downside of course."

Globalism is dead, Zohran Mamdani too extreme and other commentary
Conservative: Globalism Is Dead The effect of President Trump's policies on trade, immigration and the stock market shows a 'three-dimensional collapse of the narrative atop which we built our economy over the past generation,' argues Oren Cass at Commonplace. Contra the tariff-panic crowd, 'consumer sentiment is up and inflation is down,' while 'the stock market is up.' Plus, 'the dollar is down' which means cheaper goods. 'With aggressive immigration enforcement, the United States has ceased releasing illegal migrants into the country entirely,' and 'one million people in the country illegally may already have departed.' Advertisement 'And as the State Street index shows, a basic S&P 500 fund has been outperforming the private equity industry over every timeframe.' The globalist conventional wisdom is dead. 'We are seeing now that a different course has always been available.' From the right: A Sane Step in Visa Vetting 'Checking the social media accounts of visa applicants for hostility toward America is an obvious step in safeguarding America's security and values,' proclaims the Washington Examiner's editorial board. Advertisement The State Department will do a ''comprehensive and thorough vetting' of all student and exchange visitor applications, including a review of applicants' social media profiles.' Smart: 'The revolutionary fervor and deep anti-American activism that ripped apart university campuses last year requires a closer examination of the views of foreign students.' 'A US visa is a privilege, not a right. No one is entitled to access to our universities or job markets.' This 'visa vetting overhaul, with its sharp focus on social media scrutiny, is a bold and necessary move.'

Hochul's talk about 'affordability', it seems electricity prices have not received that memo,' snarks the Empire Center's Zilvinas Silenas. Per the US Energy Information Administration, 'New York households on average pay the sixth-highest price for electricity' in the nation. Meanwhile, the state 'is slowly losing the capability to make energy' just as officials are electrifying 'everything — heating, cooking and transportation — all of which will require much more electricity.' Advertisement Plus, 'the development of energy-intensive industries' requires the production of additional electricity 'which New York likely cannot supply on its current trajectory.' To make New York more competitive, state pols 'need to remove all hurdles to cheap, plentiful energy' which 'will help with affordability, too.' Democrat: Zohran Too Extreme 'Today's Democratic activists must keep extremist, unpopular positions out of our party's platform and serious conversations,' warns William M. Daley at The Wall Street Journal. Daley — Clinton-era Commerce Department secretary and White House chief of staff under President Barack Obama — sees Zohran Mamdani's platform as 'equally outlandish and radical' as President Trump's. Mamdani's Democratic Socialists of America 'seeks to 'defund the police' by cutting 'budgets annually towards zero,' to 'disarm law enforcement officers,' to 'close local jails,' and to 'free all people from involuntary confinement,'' along with a slew of other radical economic and social proposals. 'Mainstream Democrats must loudly disavow these views.' Just as the GOP is now dominated by Trump's ideas, Democratic 'party leaders risk a similar fate if they shrug off Mr. Mamdani's victory.' It's 'a wake-up call. Will my party answer it?' Foreign desk: A Middle East Reset Advertisement As the Abraham Accords 'come up on their five-year anniversary at the end of the summer, the transformation they represent is only starting to become clear,' cheers Commentary's Seth Mandel. On CNBC recently, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff teased news regarding 'some pretty big announcements on countries that are now coming into the Abraham Peace Accords.' Obvious candidates are Syria and Lebanon: With the Accords serving as 'a new regional structure,' if they 'want to make it in the new Middle East, they cannot rely on Iran and Russia. They must navigate the increased influence of the US and Israel.' Indeed: Accords membership is 'becoming a sort of security umbrella.' — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board
