SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intel to Report Third-Quarter 2026 Financial Results.

Collaborations at Applied's EPIC Center in Silicon Valley and Intel's R&D campus in Oregon aim to develop breakthroughs in next-generation transistors, interconnects and advanced packaging technologies for AI chips and systems  Collaboration builds on the companies' long history of working together to solve complex semiconductor device scaling challenges SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMAT), the leader in materials engineering for the semiconductor industry, today announced it is working with Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) to accelerate development of chipmaking innovations for next-generation transistors, interconnects and advanced packaging technologies.

After years of losses and stumbles, Intel has strung together seven consecutive quarters of beating its own expectations, and the gap between its bull and bear cases now spans nearly $40 per share.

Alphabet nears $1B nuclear deal, TSMC hits a record, Nvidia nears $6T, and more

After a significant slowdown in its September rally relative to the August rise, SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) stock price shot up, and the equity is, in just five days, up another 15.55% to $171.09.

Intel suspended its dividend as of the fourth quarter of 2024 to prioritize liquidity. Intel's adjusted free cash flow has been negative for both quarters of 2026 so far.

As Nvidia approaches a fresh record high, Wedbush Managing Director Matt Bryson breaks down what it would take for the chipmaker to reach a $6 trillion market cap, why tight memory supply may actually help Nvidia, and why he doesn't think there will be enough memory next year. Bryson also weighs in on what Nvidia-backed Reflection's open-weight model could mean for AI demand, reports that Elon Musk could partner with Taiwan Semiconductor and what that means for Intel, and why reports of Microsoft and Meta pulling back on Anthropic's Claude may matter more for Anthropic than for Nvidia.

The latest trading day saw Intel (INTC) settling at $116.19, representing a -2.63% change from its previous close.

Musk confirmed early talks between TSMC and Terafab on Oct. 3. Intel joined Terafab in April, and Musk has said the project plans to use Intel's 14A process.

Advanced Micro Devices has rapidly gained market share in the data center and AI accelerator markets through its high-performance Instinct series. Intel is currently navigating a significant business transition as it invests heavily in its third-party foundry services and manufacturing capabilities.
