Intel (INTC) will release its third-quarter financial results after the market closes on Thursday, Oct. 29. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven demand and improving pricing give reason to be optimistic about Intel’s Q3, especially as its Data Center and AI (DCAI) business continues to grow rapidly.
Notably, Intel shares have climbed 174.5% so far in 2026 as its operational turnaround is gaining momentum. Strong demand and pricing power have boosted Intel’s financials and investors’ confidence. However, INTC stock has retreated about 28.8% from its recent high, presenting an attractive entry point, especially as the upcoming results could act as a catalyst.
