Intel's $11 billion net loss exists only on paper.

The article discusses Intel's financial results for Q2 2026, highlighting a significant non-GAAP net loss of $11 billion due to the accounting treatment of restricted shares held under a U.S. government grant agreement. These shares, which are held in trust, require Intel to record price increases as losses. Despite this, the company reports a non-GAAP net income of $2.2 billion. The article notes that Intel has become profitable again without external financial support, with a 25% increase in revenue to $16.1 billion and a gross margin of 40.4%. Growth is driven by the AI boom, particularly in data center and AI (DCAI) segments, where revenue rose 59% to nearly $6.3 billion. The article also mentions improved operational performance, reduced severance costs, and increased production capacity shifts toward server processors.
