Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
Priced at 101.6× of expected earnings; analyst sentiment is strengthening; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
Revenue and margins in the quarterly report (10-Q) will show whether the F-Score profitability signals stay intact. Recheck the INTC analysis once the report is out.
SEC EDGAR carries the full annual report for INTC. It has the risk factors, management's discussion, and disclosures the numbers alone leave out.
The same-sector table lists companies alphabetically, with no ranking. Pick two or three yourself and line up P/E, margin, and F-Score: a single number only means something in sector context.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
