INTC's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $1.96 per share and revenue of $63.51 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -64.17% and -18.6%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Intel should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
