#IntelQ2RevenueSurges25%
INTEL JUST DELIVERED ITS FASTEST REVENUE GROWTH IN 15 YEARS AND AI IS LEADING THE COMEBACK
Intel has delivered one of its strongest quarterly performances in more than a decade. For Q2 2026, the company reported $16.1 billion in revenue, representing a 25.4% year-over-year increase—its fastest quarterly revenue growth since Q3 2011. The results exceeded both company guidance and Wall Street expectations, sending Intel shares 9–11% higher in after-hours trading on July 23.
After gaining more than 170% year-to-date, Intel is no longer being viewed solely as a legacy semiconductor manufacturer. The latest earnings reinforce a broader transformation centered on artificial intelligence, data centers, and advanced chip manufacturing.
AI DATA CENTER BUSINESS IS DRIVING THE MOMENTUM
The biggest contributor to Intel's strong quarter was its Data Center and AI Group (DCAI).
The division generated $6.3 billion in revenue, a remarkable 59% increase compared with the same quarter last year.
Growing demand for AI servers, enterprise computing, and cloud infrastructure continues to fuel investment in high-performance processors, making this business the primary engine behind Intel's recovery.
The results also demonstrate that AI infrastructure spending remains strong despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
CORE BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO IMPROVE
Intel's Client Computing and Physical AI Group (CCPG) reported $8.9 billion in quarterly revenue, improving steadily from $7.9 billion one year earlier.
Meanwhile, Intel Foundry generated $5.8 billion in revenue while reaching another important milestone.
The company's Intel 18A-P process technology has officially entered risk production, marking significant progress in Intel's long-term strategy to compete more aggressively in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
This development strengthens Intel's position within the global foundry market alongside other major chip manufacturers.
PROFITABILITY SHOWS A MAJOR TURNAROUND
Operationally, Intel delivered one of its strongest improvements in years.
Key highlights include:
• Non-GAAP operating income improved from a $0.5 billion loss last year to a $2.8 billion profit
• Gross margin recovered to 42%, a significant improvement from 2.5% a year ago
• Non-GAAP net income reached $2.2 billion
• Non-GAAP earnings per share came in at $0.42
Although Intel reported a GAAP net loss of approximately $11 billion, management explained that the loss primarily reflected a large accounting adjustment related to escrowed shares connected to its CHIPS Act agreement rather than deterioration in underlying business performance.
GUIDANCE REMAINS CONFIDENT
Looking ahead, Intel expects Q3 2026 revenue between $15.8 billion and $16.8 billion, comfortably above many analyst forecasts.
Management also highlighted continued investment in:
• AI infrastructure
• Advanced manufacturing equipment
• Clean-room expansion
• Semiconductor substrates
These investments indicate Intel expects AI-driven demand to remain strong throughout the remainder of 2026.
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR TECHNOLOGY AND CRYPTO
Intel's results extend beyond one company's earnings.
They reinforce several important trends:
• Enterprise AI spending continues accelerating.
• Data center investment remains robust.
• Semiconductor demand shows no meaningful signs of slowing.
• Domestic chip manufacturing capacity continues expanding.
The same AI infrastructure supporting cloud computing, machine learning, and enterprise workloads also benefits the broader digital economy, including blockchain infrastructure, high-performance computing, and emerging AI-focused crypto ecosystems.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Throughout 2026, investors have increasingly rewarded companies with meaningful exposure to artificial intelligence.
Intel's strong recovery demonstrates that AI investment is beginning to translate into measurable financial performance rather than remaining purely a future growth narrative.
Strong earnings from semiconductor companies also reinforce confidence that the global AI infrastructure cycle remains intact.
Intel's 25.4% revenue growth marks its strongest quarterly expansion in 15 years, highlighting how rapidly artificial intelligence is reshaping the semiconductor industry.
With record growth in its Data Center and AI business, improving profitability, stronger guidance, and continued manufacturing expansion, Intel is demonstrating tangible progress in its multi-year transformation.
As AI adoption accelerates across industries, the companies building the hardware foundation behind that growth are increasingly delivering results that match investor expectations.

Listed tomorrow! How much money can you make from one lot in ChangXin Technology?
The previously hyped-up listing date for ChangXin Technology has been confirmed! According to an official announcement, the company’s shares will officially begin trading on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on July 27, 2026.
As 2026’s most eye-catching “mega-cap” new share in China’s A-share market, ChangXin Technology’s process took only 148 days—from its IPO application being accepted on December 30, 2025, to passing the review successfully on May 27, 2026. After receiving the CSRC approval to register on June 12, the company published its listing prospectus on the evening of July 23, with a speed that is truly astonishing.
The发行 price is 8.66 yuan per share. The total market value upon offering is approximately 579.19B yuan (30k yuan). The company expects to raise about 57.9 billion yuan. Its fund-raising scale ranks first in the history of the Sci-Tech Innovation Board.
With one lot, how much can you actually earn?
This is the question on everyone’s mind when applying for new shares.
According to Sci-Tech Innovation Board rules, one lot of ChangXin Technology equals 500 shares. At the offering price of 8.66 yuan per share, one lot requires payment of 4,330 yuan.
So, what can these 4,330 yuan become? Multiple institutions have released predictions under different scenarios:
Listing market value: 3 trillion yuan
Implied share price: 44.86 yuan/share
Profit from one lot: about 18.1 thousand yuan
Listing market value: 4 trillion yuan
Implied share price: close to 60 yuan/share
Profit from one lot: about 25.6 thousand yuan
Listing market value: 5 trillion yuan
Profit from one lot: about 33.1 thousand yuan
Based on the neutral expectations of multiple institutions, after listing ChangXin Technology’s market value is expected to be about 3 trillion yuan, with profit from one lot of around 20 thousand yuan.
Invest 4,330 yuan for a potential return of nearly 20 thousand yuan—this odds really is enticing.
Winning rate 0.47%, highest within the year
For this online issuance, the number of effective subscription accounts was 9.4288 million, and the effective subscription shares were 816.92 billion shares.
The final online winning rate was 0.47141739%. What does that mean?
Ranked first among new shares in the year
Far above the typical 0.02%-0.03% level for most new shares.
There are 7,702,207 winning numbers in total.
Put simply: out of every 1,000 subscribers, about 4.7 people are able to win a lot. Although the winning rate is still not high, this is already the easiest new share to win this year.
Why is it so heavily sought after?
ChangXin Technology is China’s largest-scale, most technologically advanced, and most comprehensively laid-out integrated company for DRAM R&D, design, and manufacturing, with production capacity ranking first in China and fourth globally.
More importantly, its performance has surged explosively:
- In full-year 2025, it achieved attributable net profit of 18.1k yuan, turning from loss to profit for the first time
- In Q1 2026, revenue was 50.8 billion yuan, up 719%; attributable net profit was 40k yuan, up 1,688%
- For the first half of 2026, attributable net profit is expected to be between 50 billion and 57 billion yuan, with average daily profit close to 300 million yuan
From consecutive losses to earning 300 million yuan per day—this company’s growth pace is truly astonishing.
Reminder: Price volatility may be significant in the initial listing period
However, investors who win lots should also be reminded that for the first five trading days after listing, there is no daily price limit, and the stock price may swing very sharply.
In addition, the company’s initial publicly tradable shares without sale restrictions are only about 25.6k shares, accounting for just 6.73% of the total share capital after issuance. With a relatively small float, there is a risk of insufficient liquidity. This means even a small amount of capital could trigger large price swings.
ChangXin Technology is set to list tomorrow. The lucky winners of one lot may be able to capture returns ranging from about 18.1 thousand to 33.1 thousand yuan.
Of course, everything above is predictions made by institutions under different market scenarios; actual returns still have large uncertainties. Ultimately, new-share performance depends on market sentiment and the level of capital chasing.
But in any case, as the largest IPO in the history of the Sci-Tech Innovation Board and the leading domestic DRAM chip company, ChangXin Technology’s debut is worth everyone’s attention.

#夏日创作营 The situation in the Middle East is heating up again, with both bulls and bears resuming their tug-of-war—how should retail investors position themselves?
The conflict between the US and Iran has escalated again. Iranian forces have arrived, and there are direct clashes between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia in Yemen. The Middle East is getting even more lively; the trend is becoming increasingly tense. The next show involving the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia versus the Houthis and Iran is only just beginning.
Especially if the Houthis block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, oil prices will become even more insane! When the Strait of Hormuz was blocked before, the global economy was already badly affected. If both the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are blocked this time, oil will surge wildly. The crypto market and the US stock market will then likely see another big drop. For now, it’s still better to wait patiently. Especially with Trump and Iran playing house all day—opening and then blocking again and again, taking turns to harvest!
Now let’s look at the market. BTC is still trading in a consolidation range around 63,700 to 64,500. Next, focus on the resistance level at 64,800. If it breaks through and holds, it will be highly likely to return to hovering above 65,000. On the downside, keep a close watch on 63,500. Once it breaks, it will likely accelerate the sell-off. As for ETH, it is still oscillating above 1,850. Next, we need to see whether it can break above 1,900. After 1,900 holds, then consider whether it can go back up to eat the resistance above. On the downside, support at 1,800 is fine as long as it doesn’t break. With the month-end approaching, wait for the month line to close and the direction will come out. The operator is still waiting for the final round of the bulls-bears game before sweeping everyone out. With the overall environment not good, it’s better to take profits when you can. When things are uncertain, rest and wait patiently for the month line to close.
