Intel posts return to growth and profitability in Q3 2025, but significant challenges remain — achieves $13.7 billion revenue with $4.1 billion operating profit

Intel reported a return to growth and profitability in Q3 2025, with $13.7 billion in revenue and $4.1 billion in operating profit, driven by one-time gains. The company faced ongoing challenges despite the positive financial results, with a weak Q4 outlook. Intel's Client Computing Group saw revenue increase due to a favorable product mix and higher average selling prices, while the Data Center and AI Group experienced demand growth from cloud and enterprise customers. The Intel Foundry business generated $4.2 billion in revenue, with reduced losses despite absorbing startup costs. Intel's management highlighted the persistent trend of demand outpacing supply, expecting it to continue into 2026.
