The financial ratios indicate notable trends over the periods from early 2020 through mid-2025, reflecting various operational and profitability challenges as well as some periods of recovery.
- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross profit margin shows a decreasing trend starting around the first quarter of 2022, falling from 55.45% in early 2022 to 29.76% by mid-2025. This decline suggests increasing costs of goods sold relative to revenue or pricing pressures, impacting the company’s core profitability at the gross level.
- Operating Profit Margin
- Operating profit margin experiences a significant decline from 24.62% in early 2022 down to negative values in several subsequent quarters, reaching approximately -22.84% by mid-2025. The drop to negative margins indicates that operational expenses have surpassed gross profits, reflecting reduced efficiency or rising operating costs that are not being offset by revenue growth.
- Net Profit Margin
- Net profit margin follows a similar downward trajectory, moving from 25.14% in early 2022 to a negative margin of around -38.64% in mid-2025. Despite intermittent positive quarters, the overall pattern reflects increasing net losses in recent periods. This deterioration may be driven by compounded effects of lower operating margins as well as other comprehensive income factors such as interest, taxes, or extraordinary items.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- The return on equity maintains positive values until around early 2022 but then declines sharply, turning negative from the end of 2022 onwards. The ROE reaches approximately -20.95% by mid-2025, indicating that shareholder capital is generating losses rather than profits. This trend mirrors the downturn in net profitability and highlights challenges in generating value for shareholders.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- Return on assets decreases from a peak near 13.96% to negative territory by late 2022, declining further to about -10.65% by mid-2025. This reflects the company’s reduced ability to efficiently utilize its assets to generate earnings, corresponding with the losses seen in net profit and operating income.
Overall, the data portray a clear trend of financial performance weakening across profitability and efficiency metrics beginning in 2022, with margins and returns turning negative and continuing to decline through mid-2025. This suggests significant operational challenges, margin pressure, and potential structural issues affecting the company’s financial health over the observed periods.

The financial data reveals several notable trends in gross margin, net revenue, and gross profit margin over the periods analyzed.
- Gross Margin
- The gross margin exhibited a generally declining trend from early 2020 through mid-2022, dropping from approximately 12,016 million USD in March 2020 to a low of 5,500 million USD at the end of 2022. After this period, fluctuations became more pronounced with intermittent increases and decreases. Notably, there were partial recoveries toward mid-2023 and late 2023, reaching highs near 7,047 million USD. However, in 2024 and onward, the gross margin again showed volatility and overall decreased, with values dropping as low as around 1,997 million USD in the middle of 2024. The latest quarters continued to show lower gross margins compared to earlier years, indicating increased pressure on production costs or pricing.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue demonstrated relative stability with some fluctuations. Starting from approximately 19,828 million USD in early 2020, revenue maintained a range around 19,000 to 20,000 million USD throughout 2020 and 2021, peaking slightly in the fourth quarter of 2021 at 20,528 million USD. However, beginning in 2022, there was a noticeable decline, with revenue falling to roughly 14,042 million USD at the end of 2022. After a trough in early 2023 near 11,715 million USD, revenue showed signs of gradual recovery, increasing to over 15,000 million USD by late 2023. The years 2024 and 2025 saw continued fluctuations but at generally lower levels than the peak years, indicating a more challenging market environment or reduced sales volume.
- Gross Profit Margin Percentage
- This ratio, calculated as gross margin divided by net revenue, followed a downward trajectory overall. Initial percentages in 2020 and early 2021 centered around the mid-50s percentage range, indicating a robust ability to convert revenue into gross profit. Thereafter, a consistent decline is observed, dipping from about 56% down to approximately 29.76% by mid-2025. Intermittent short-term improvements occurred, such as a rise to 41.49% in mid-2024, but the overall trend points to shrinking profitability at the gross level. This trend reflects potential increases in costs, pricing pressures, or shifts in product mix impacting margins negatively.
In summary, the data reveals decreasing gross margins and gross profit percentages alongside a declining yet volatile net revenue pattern in recent years. The convergence of these trends suggests increasing cost challenges and fluctuating market demand, warranting close management attention to cost control and revenue-enhancing strategies to stabilize profitability.

- Operating Income (Loss)
- The operating income exhibited notable fluctuations across the periods analyzed. Starting at a high of 7,038 million USD in March 2020, it experienced a downward trend through the remainder of 2020, reaching approximately 3,694 million USD by March 2021. The subsequent quarters saw some recovery to levels above 5,000 million USD during mid to late 2021. However, a significant decline began in early 2022, with operating income turning negative and reaching a trough of -9,057 million USD in December 2024. There was a brief recovery to positive territory in March 2025 at 412 million USD, but this was followed again by negative results in the succeeding quarters. This pattern indicates periods of operational challenges, particularly marked in 2022 through 2024.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue remained relatively stable during the early quarters, fluctuating around the 19,000 to 20,500 million USD range until late 2021. Starting in 2022, revenues declined from approximately 18,353 million USD in April 2022 to a low of around 11,715 million USD in April 2023. Thereafter, there was a moderate recovery with values oscillating between roughly 12,600 and 14,200 million USD through mid-2025. Overall, the revenue pattern suggests contraction beginning in 2022, with attempts at stabilization in subsequent periods, though not returning to pre-2022 levels.
- Operating Profit Margin
- Operating profit margin began at strong levels above 25% at the end of 2020 and throughout most of 2021, reflecting robust profitability relative to revenue. By early 2022, this margin started to decline sharply, falling to positive but single-digit percentages before turning negative by April 2023. The negative margins deepened over time, indicating erosion of profitability, with the worst margin reaching nearly -23% by the last quarter analyzed. A slight positive margin was briefly noted in late 2023, but negative margins resumed thereafter. This trend is consistent with the declining operating income and revenue figures, highlighting significant profitability pressures over the period.
- Summary Insights
- The data reveals a company facing considerable operational and profitability challenges beginning in early 2022, after relatively stable and robust financial performance in prior years. The deterioration in operating income and profit margins coincide with declining revenues, suggesting either increased costs, reduced sales volume, or pricing pressures impacting overall financial health. The substantial negative operating income and loss of profitability persisting through the latter periods emphasize the need for strategic adjustments to restore financial stability. The brief improvements observed in some quarters do not indicate sustained recovery as of the latest data points.

- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Intel
- The net income displayed considerable volatility over the observed periods. Starting at 5,661 million USD in the first quarter of 2020, the income generally trended downward until it reached a low point at the end of 2020, followed by a recovery in early 2021. The income peaked at 8,113 million USD in the first quarter of 2022, after which a pronounced decline occurred, including several quarters showing negative values. Notably, the latter half of the dataset exhibited pronounced losses, with some quarters reflecting substantial negative net income, reaching as low as -16,639 million USD. The data suggests increasing financial challenges or extraordinary costs impacting profitability during this timeframe.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue figures demonstrated a generally downward trend across the reported periods. From a high of approximately 20,000 million USD in early 2020, revenue declined steadily through 2022, falling to about 14,000 million USD by the end of that year. Although some minor recoveries were seen intermittently in 2023 and early 2024 quarters, the trend remained relatively flat or slightly negative. The overall pattern indicates a reduction in sales or market demand pressures, with no sustained recovery evident through mid-2025.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin percentages correspond with the fluctuations in net income and illustrate a declining profitability profile over time. Profit margins were strong and consistently positive between early 2020 and early 2022, with peaks above 25%. Beginning in 2022, margins deteriorated significantly, turning negative in multiple quarters and reaching deeply negative percentages in 2024 and 2025. This decline highlights shrinking operational efficiency or increased costs relative to revenue. The negative margins align with the substantial losses reported, reinforcing the narrative of financial strain.
- Overall Analysis
- The data reveals a company experiencing significant financial headwinds beginning around 2022. While revenues decreased and profit margins declined, the net income volatility, including large losses, may reflect operational challenges, market conditions, or extraordinary expenses such as restructuring or impairments. The negative margins in recent periods and the absence of a clear recovery trend suggest ongoing difficulties in returning to prior profitability levels. These patterns call for further investigation into the underlying causes and consideration of strategic adjustments.

The analysis of the financial trends reveals several notable patterns and changes over the reported periods. Net income attributable to the company displays considerable volatility, with values ranging from substantial profits to significant losses. Initially, net income remained positive and relatively strong through 2020 and early 2021, peaking at 8,113 million US dollars in April 2022. Subsequently, there is a marked decline, with frequent negative values indicating losses, especially pronounced from late 2022 through mid-2025. This volatility suggests periods of operational or market challenges impacting profitability.
Total stockholders' equity shows a general upward trend over the years, increasing from 76,354 million US dollars in early 2020 to a peak above 115,000 million US dollars by mid-2024. However, after this peak, equity declines significantly toward the end of the period analyzed, dropping below 98,000 million US dollars by mid-2025. This pattern indicates that despite the fluctuations in net income, the company's equity base grew steadily for most of the timeframe before undergoing contraction.
The return on equity (ROE) percentage initially reflects strong profitability in the earlier periods, with values above 20% throughout much of 2020 and 2021. However, from 2022 onward, ROE demonstrates a sharp decreasing trend turning negative multiple times. This reflects diminished profitability relative to shareholders’ equity and aligns with the observed losses in net income during the same periods. The negative ROE values becoming more pronounced indicate that the company faced persistent challenges in generating returns for its equity holders in recent quarters.
- Net Income
- Initially positive and strong, peaking in early 2022, followed by a sharp decline with repeated losses through the remainder of the periods analyzed.
- Total Stockholders' Equity
- Overall upward trend with growth from 2020 to mid-2024, followed by a notable reduction in equity toward mid-2025.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- Strong and stable positive returns were observed through 2020-2021, then deteriorating sharply with negative returns dominating from 2022 onwards, indicating profitability challenges.
In summary, the data portrays a company facing increasing profitability challenges starting in 2022, as indicated by volatile net income and declining ROE. Despite these issues, the company was able to grow its equity base significantly until mid-2024 before experiencing declines. Monitoring these trends is crucial to assess the company’s financial health and operational effectiveness going forward.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends in the company's profitability, asset base, and return on assets (ROA) over the observed periods.
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Intel
- The net income figures exhibit significant volatility across the quarters. Initially, net income values ranged between approximately 4.3 billion USD and 6.8 billion USD from early 2020 through late 2021. A peak was observed with a rise to over 8.1 billion USD in early 2022. Subsequently, net income values fluctuated sharply, including several quarters of negative income from mid-2022 onwards. These losses reached a pronounced low of approximately -16.6 billion USD in the third quarter of 2024, indicating a substantial downturn in profitability during that period. Towards the most recent quarters in 2025, net income remains negative but with somewhat smaller absolute losses compared to the peak negative figure.
- Total Assets
- The total assets of the company have demonstrated a general upward trend throughout the timelines analyzed. Starting from about 147.7 billion USD in early 2020, the asset base expanded steadily with some moderate fluctuations. By late 2024 and into 2025, total assets ranged between roughly 192 billion USD to a high of over 206 billion USD, suggesting ongoing investment or accumulation of asset holdings despite the fluctuations in profitability.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The ROA values, representing the efficiency in using assets to generate profit, reflect significant variability correlating with the net income trends. In the periods around 2020-2021, ROA remained strong, generally above 11%, peaking at approximately 13.96%. This performance declined gradually through 2022 with a downward shift into marginally positive and then negative ROA values. From 2023 onward, the return dropped below zero in multiple quarters, even reaching negative double-digit percentages in 2024. This indicates substantial inefficiency and losses relative to the asset base during these later periods.
In summary, the data outlines a period of initial robust profitability and asset growth, followed by a downturn commencing in early 2022. While the asset base continued to grow, profitability decreased notably, with sharp losses and negative returns on assets in recent periods. This suggests challenges in converting asset investment into income and potential operational or market difficulties impacting financial performance.
