Intel Foundry
Basis quarter$5.76B
Final quarter$8.34B
Implied CAGR+8%
Final revenue mix39%
Process technology, manufacturing and advanced packaging. Roughly 95% of its $5,765M of 2026 Q2 revenue is internal wafer transfer to Intel Products, so it barely moves consolidated revenue - but it carries the whole capital programme, all of the depreciation and a $(2,089)M quarterly segment operating loss. The external business is real and tiny: $293M in the quarter, and mostly Altera moving from subsidiary to customer.

Assumptions & reasoning
- External foundry revenue is not modelled as its own vertical: Intel discloses it only from 2025 Q1 and does not break out 2025 Q3 or 2025 Q4, so four of the ten quarters would be gaps.
- The 14.9% EBITDA margin is the disclosed (36)% segment operating margin with the whole of Intel's depreciation added back - $5,891M in 2026 H1, about $2,950M in the quarter - because substantially all of the depreciating manufacturing base sits in this segment.
- The margin glides toward 50% - reaching 43% by 2031 Q2 - because depreciation grows with the capital programme while the segment operating margin improves only to the assumed (10)%; the cash cost of that capital is charged separately as a corporate programme, so nothing is double counted.
- The 2026 Q2 loss improvement was charge relief, not operating leverage: $1.4B of lower period charges, against $340M of lower product profit from the higher-cost Intel 18A wafer mix.
