18A yield improving 7-8% monthly, but not yet industry-leading
Intel reported a solid Q4 but faces acute supply constraints heading into Q1 2026, guiding below seasonal. Management emphasized yield improvements, capacity prioritization to servers, and strong AI-driven CPU demand. External foundry progress on 18A/14A is gradual, with customer decisions expected in H2 2026. Q4 revenue $13.7B, non-GAAP GM 37.9%, EPS $0.15 – all above guidance.

- Q1 FY2026 guidance: revenue $11.7-12.7B, GM ~34.5%, break-even EPS, reflecting worst supply tightness.
- Supply constraints are industry-wide for DRAM/NAND/substrates, limiting Intel's ability to fulfill PC and server demand.
- Intel achieved 7-8% monthly yield improvement on 18A; tool spending (not fab space) is ramping to boost capacity.

경영진 분석
Measuredly Optimisti
Management expressed confidence in strategic direction and demand tailwinds, while acknowledging near-term supply constraints and execution challenges.
경영진의 AI 분석
Management emphasized AI-driven demand across all compute segments, positioning Intel's heterogeneous silicon (CPU, GPU, ASIC, etc.) and advanced packaging as key differentiators. They see AI expanding the role of CPUs in data centers and client devices, with hybrid AI driving client refresh. They are focusing on emerging AI workloads like reasoning and agentic AI for future accelerators.
투자 및 생산능력
Capex for 2026 is planned flat to down slightly versus prior year, with a shift from space to tool spending to address supply constraints. They are aggressively adding tools for Intel 7, Intel 3, and 18A, but are holding back 14A capacity investment until customer commitments are secured, expected in late 2026 or 2027. The goal is to improve supply through yield and throughput gains first.
