Intel Beats Estimates with Strong Q2 Growth
Intel, a big company that makes computer chips, did really well in the second quarter of this year.
They made more money than people thought they would, and they also said they think they'll make even more money in the next quarter.
The boss said that AI is making people want more of their chips.
They also signed some big deals with customers who need a lot of chips for their computers.
Even though they did well, their stock went up and down a lot after they told everyone their results.
The stock has gone up a lot this year, but it has also gone down a bit recently because other chip stocks have been doing badly.
Intel reported Q2 revenue of $16.1 billion, beating estimates of $14.42 billion.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) for Q2 was $0.42, double the estimate of $0.21.
Intel projects Q3 revenue between $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion, above analyst expectations of $15.1 billion.
Gross margins recovered to 42%, up from 2.5% a year ago.
Intel's stock has gained nearly 200% this year but has declined 28% this month due to chip stock sell-offs.
