Intel Q2 seen beating expectations, but outlook clouded by cost cuts and competitive pressures

Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC, ETR:INL) is expected to report better-than-anticipated second-quarter results after the bell tonight, helped by tariff-related pull-ins and a favorable product mix, according to Bank of America analysts. “Q2 CPU [is] likely in-line to better on tariff related pull-ins,” the analysts wrote, though they cautioned that second-half results could disappoint as those benefits unwind.
