Deep Analysis

Return on equity (ROE) measures net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity, so INTC's -10.7% means the company is generating losses rather than profits on its invested capital.

This sits far below the sector median of 29.5%, placing the stock at the 0th percentile among technology peers. The year-over-year change is N/A, while the quarter-over-quarter change is -269.0%, and the 8-quarter trend is also N/A, with historical values showing a drop from -2.9% to -10.7%. A negative ROE in the bottom percentile, combined with a sharp quarterly decline, points to deteriorating profitability and higher investment risk. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the level and trend both signal fundamental weakness that a neutral rating does not fully reflect.
