Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Intel Corporation ( INTC ) shares experienced a massive 24% surge after the company delivered a decisive Q1 2026 earnings beat. The chipmaker reported quarterly revenue of $13.6 billion, representing a 7% year-over-year increase and exceeding analyst estimates for the seventh consecutive quarter. While the adjusted results were strong, with non-GAAP EPS reaching $0.29—up 123% year-over-year—the company reported a GAAP net loss of $3.7 billion due to a $3.8 billion Mobileye-related impairment charge. Despite the explosive share price reaction and signs of an operational turnaround, analyst sentiment remains divided on whether Intel’s current valuation reflects a sustainable recovery or an overextended rally. What Do Seeking Alpha Analysts Say About Intel’s Future? Despite the sharp rally, several analysts maintained bullish stances on Intel, viewing the results as confirmation that the turnaround is progressing faster than anticipated. Analysts with a positive outlook pointed to the significant momentum in the Data Center and AI segment, which saw revenues surge 22% year-over-year to $5.1 billion with operating margins reaching 30.5%. Optimism is fueled by the successful ramp of the 18A process node and strategic partnerships, including the Xeon 6 processor engagement with Google and the potential Terafab project. Proponents argue that gross margins expanding to 41% and strong demand for AI CPUs outstripping current supply demonstrate Intel’s renewed relevance in the AI infrastructure buildout. Those with the cautious outlook, however, highlighted that the company still faces fundamental structural challenges, including persistent losses in the Foundry segment and negative free cash flow projected until 2027. Skeptics pointed to the $3.8 billion Mobileye-related impairment as a sign of volatility in subsidiaries. Furthermore, with the stock trading at a forward P/E over 87 and shares up 223% since July 2025, bears argue the risk/rewa...

The Elites And Their Contempt Authored by Rev. John F. Naugle via The Brownstone Institute , Last week, I was unexpectedly hit with a post-lockdown trauma response . While driving to a baseball game days before the NFL Draft came to Pittsburgh, I passed a digital highway sign instructing me to avoid nonessential travel. Suddenly, memories of empty highways with signs instructing drivers to “Stay Safe and Stay Home” came flooding back to me. As the week developed, it began to occur to me that the parallels were deeper than my subjective emotional response. Road closures intensified, rendering my beloved city of Pittsburgh less and less functional. Even sidewalks were closed. Entire parking garages were emptied and abandoned. Pittsburgh’s “most visited museum,” the Kamin Science Center, has been closed to the public for weeks because it was within the footprint of the upcoming event. For the actual days of the draft, Pittsburgh Public Schools were shuttered as if a blizzard had rendered travel impossible. How do I walk to PNC Park? The attempt by local officials to trigger hysteria in the populace worked, maybe too well. People traveling to Pittsburgh for the event heeded the instructions to use the special free public transit to make their way in. Parking operators, expecting a huge windfall, saw themselves lower their exorbitant prices midday. For example, the Rivers Casino quickly abandoned their plan to charge $250 per day, lowering their rate to $100 for the first day of the draft and then abandoning charging altogether for subsequent days. Local businesses outside the official footprint of the event were told to prepare for heavy crowds, but instead experienced a weekend worse than anything they had seen since the Covid hysteria. Those who didn’t want to go to the draft were terrified to go anywhere near the city. In summary, children were deprived of education, small business owners were drastically harmed, public spaces which exist for the common good were shu...

Enterprise AI teams are hitting a wall — not because their models can't reason, but because the workflows underneath them were never built for agents. Tasks fail, handoffs break, and the problem compounds as organizations push agents deeper into back-office systems. A new architectural layer is emerging to address it: workflow execution control planes that impose deterministic structure on processes agents are expected to run. One of the companies bringing this to the forefront is Salesforce, with a new workflow platform that turns back-office workflows into a set of tasks for specialized agents to complete. Users can upload their processes or use one of the set Blueprints provided by Salesforce, and Agentforce Operations will break it down for agents. Salesforce senior vice president of Product, Sanjna Parulekar, told VentureBeat in an interview that the problem is that many enterprise workflows are not built for agents. “What we’ve observed with customers is that a lot of times, the brokenness in a process is probably in your product requirements document,” Parulekar said. “So when that’s uploaded into a product, it doesn’t quite work. We can optimize it and cut out some things and replace it with an agent.” Without this control panel layer, enterprises could risk deploying agents that increase cost rather than fix their workflow problems. Making the workflow work for agents, not just humans Enterprises deploying agents are learning a costly lesson: Their workflows were designed around human judgment gaps, not machine execution. Processes that evolved through years of workarounds — loosely defined steps, implicit decisions, coordination that depends on individuals knowing what to do next — break when agents are asked to follow them literally. Even with all of an enterprise’s context at its fingertips, AI systems will have difficulty completing tasks if it is not clear what it’s supposed to do. Parulekar said her team found that focusing on what makes the process t...

Lenders are forcing Hollywood landlord Hackman Capital Partners , the largest independent studio and soundstage owner, to relinquish entertainment properties around Los Angeles as values plunge and demand stays soft. A group of lenders led by Deutsche Bank AG is recruiting a real estate broker to market Television City , a historic lot in central Los Angeles that Hackman bought in 2019 for $750 million, according to people with knowledge of the process who asked not to be identified because the discussions are still underway. The property had a $350 million mortgage led by the German bank, according to county records. Deutsche Bank is also seeking a broker to sell Manhattan Beach Studios , south of Los Angeles, according to the people. Hackman bought that site in 2019 from Carlyle Group Inc. for $650 million in a deal that also included a production services firm. Deutsche Bank wrote a $247.5 million mortgage on the property. A spokesperson for Deutsche Bank declined to comment. A Hackman spokesman was unable to provide comment. The real estate company, headed by Michael Hackman , started a studio buying spree more than a decade agao, betting that the streaming TV boom would drive bottomless demand for sound stages. Then LA’s entertainment industry suffered a series of blows — the Covid-19 shutdown, strikes by writers and directors in 2023 and cuttbacks at studios — that hammered demand for sound stages, especially those owned by independent operators like Hackman. The number of Los Angeles County shoot days in the first quarter of 2026 fell 3.3% from a year earlier, even as California doubled tax incentives to reverse the runaway production, according to FilmLA , an agency that manages permitting for the region. It’s not just an LA problem. In March, Deutsche Bank filed to foreclose on Hackman’s Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York, which had a $340 million mortgage. And Quixote, a production services firm owned by Hudson Pacific Properties Inc. , is winding down op...

Earnings Call Insights: AutoNation (AN) Q1 2026 Management View "Despite a challenging Q1 for the industry... AutoNation delivered its fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per share," said CEO Michael Manley, citing adjusted EPS of $4.69 and "$256 million of adjusted free cash flow" alongside what he called "excellent consistent cash conversion." Manley highlighted After-Sales as the earnings anchor, saying it delivered "solid mid-single-digit growth" despite "some year-over-year impact from adverse weather," with first-quarter-record total store gross profit of $593 million; he added that internal pay declined 6% but was offset by "Customer pay, which grew 8% and warranty-related gross profit, which grew at 7%." CFO Thomas Szlosek described a flat gross profit year-over-year with mix benefits: "First quarter gross profit of $1.2 billion was essentially flat year-over-year, and gross margin improved 30 basis points to 18.5% of revenue," driven by After-Sales and customer financial services. On portfolio strategy, Manley emphasized the earnings mix shift toward recurring profit pools, telling an analyst, "I think you answered your own question there... I've got nothing to add to it," when asked if new and used retail act as feeders to After-Sales, F&I, and finance. Outlook Management did not provide formal EPS or revenue guidance on the call and discussed removing its prior 2026 outlook slide. Manley attributed the change to a more uncertain demand environment, saying the industry outlook is now "below that 5% forecast that we originally had coming in" due to affordability pressures and macro shocks. On cost trajectory, Szlosek said, "We expect SG&A to moderate in subsequent quarters," and added, "in second quarter through the fourth quarter, you should probably expect us to bring it down 150 basis points from what we saw in the first quarter," while remaining above the 66% to 67% long-term target range as investments continue.
