The facts

  1. Third-quarter diluted earnings were US$0.60 under GAAP and US$0.52 on Intel’s adjusted, non-GAAP measure. The comparable year-earlier figures were US$0.90 and US$0.23, respectively. [1]

  2. Intel forecast fourth-quarter diluted GAAP earnings of US$0.10 a share and adjusted earnings of US$0.25. Reuters reported an adjusted analyst expectation of US$0.43; forecasts are not achieved results. [1][2]

  3. Data Center and AI revenue rose 78% to US$7.3 billion. Client Computing and Physical AI revenue fell 5% to US$8.1 billion. Segment revenues include internal transactions and cannot simply be added to net company sales. [1]

  4. CFO David Zinsner told Reuters that an October explosion had shut Intel’s Kiryat Gat plant in Israel for two weeks. He estimated a roughly US$300 million revenue impact in each of the fourth quarter and the following first quarter. [2]

  5. The Nasdaq-listed INTC quote was timestamped 10:27:01 a.m. EDT on 30 October, during regular trading. Yahoo Finance's previous-close value was US$92.07; the US$26.31 decline is 28.6%, rounded. This is not a closing return. [3]

  6. Reuters' 30 October report said shares of AMD, Arm, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Broadcom and Micron fell between 2% and 10%, alongside declines in server makers. These were evolving trading snapshots, not completed daily returns. [4]

  7. Kiplinger's completed-session report records Intel's October 30 decline at 28.6%. AP independently describes an almost 29% fall. These end-of-session reports supersede the earlier current-status description of trading still being in progress. [5][6]

  8. The Nasdaq Composite closed at 25,437.00, down 2.9%. The S&P 500 closed at 7,580.07, down 1.8%, and the Dow at 51,770.31, down 1.1%, according to AP's closing bulletin. [5][6]

Still unconfirmed

  • Intel was still assessing damaged wafers and the disruption’s eventual extent. The plant incident occurred earlier in October; the financial disclosure is not a report of a new explosion on 29 October.

Corrections & updates

Substantive update: Added the 30 October regular-session share-price fall, its exact quote time and previous-close comparison, plus Reuters' reporting on the wider chip-sector selloff. The original 29 October outlook and earlier-October factory incident retain their dates. No final closing return or record loss is claimed.

Substantive update: Replaced the current-status intraday summary with the completed October 30 session: Intel down 28.6% and Nasdaq down 2.9%, checked in AP and independently owned Kiplinger reporting. The earlier 14:27 UTC quote remains a dated historical snapshot. This is a Friday closing result, not a new weekend market session or a new earnings announcement.

References support the numbered facts above. Source checks: 1 Nov 2026, 00:57 UTC.

Intel's results, the earlier Reuters outlook report and dated Yahoo intraday snapshot are retained. The actual AP closing bulletin and independently owned Kiplinger completed-session report establish the final daily declines. A different analyst-consensus figure in later commentary is not substituted for the explicitly attributed earlier Reuters comparison. No unverified closing share price or weekend trading is invented.
