Pakistan is brokering the talks between Washington and Tehran, seeking an end to the war in Iran and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.From the US, President Donald Trump is sending envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan to participate in talks with Araghchi this weekend, administration officials told CNN.West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures fell 2% to $93.98, and Brent crude futures slipped 0.2% to $104.87 after midday as geopolitical risk receded.

Intel's Post-Earnings Remarks Indicate Full-Year Revenue Upside Potential, UBS Says

Intel's (INTC) post-earnings commentary suggests revenue upside potential for 2026 despite a likely conservative outlook for the second half of the year, UBS Securities said in a note e-mailed Friday.Late Thursday, the chipmaker posted stronger-than-expected first-quarter results amid artificial intelligence-driven demand for its products. The company issued an upbeat outlook for the ongoing quarter."We're prudently planning for (personal computer) demand to weaken in the second half of the year and expect the full-year PC unit (total addressable market) to be down low-double-digit percent in line with industry peers and experts," Intel Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner said on an earnings conference call late Thursday, according to a FactSet transcript.The CFO's outlook implies full-year revenue of about $58 billion, or roughly $4 billion higher than the pre-call Wall Street estimate, and up 10% year over year, UBS analysts, including Timothy Arcuri, said in a note to clients."The rapid inflection in server (central processing unit) demand has put (Intel) in a position to better control its destiny this year, so the odds are that even the implied commentary for (the second half) is still probably conservative and numbers still have upside," the analysts wrote.UBS raised its price target on the Intel stock to $83 from $65 while maintaining its neutral rating.The company's shares were up 21% in Friday afternoon trade. So far this year, the stock has surged 118%."The newsflow on foundry should also remain positive as the release of the 14A production design kit late this year probably catalyzes one or more foundry deals with [Nvidia (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), maybe Amazon (AMZN)] and a high-end consumer product," the UBS analysts said. "The manufacturing narrative is playing out about as we expected, but we have under-estimated how much the market was willing to overlook a lack of earnings power."Customer order patterns in the near term continue to be "very robust" across Intel's businesses, Zinsner said on the call. Over the past 90 days, the company's outlook for server CPU demand has improved, with expectations for a strong year of double-digit unit growth for Intel and the broader industry, Zinsner said, adding that the momentum is seen extending into next year.Price: $81.22, Change: $+14.44, Percent Change: +21.62%

Intel Poised for 'Slight Beat' Amid Solid Server CPU Demand, RBC Says

Intel (INTC) is expected to report a "slight beat" in its fiscal first-quarter results amid robust server central processing unit demand, RBC Capital Markets said in a note e-mailed Tuesday.On Thursday, the chipmaker is likely to post adjusted per-share earnings and revenue above RBC's projections for breakeven and $12.20 billion, respectively, for the March quarter, according to the brokerage. The current consensus on FactSet is for non-GAAP EPS of $0.02 and sales of $12.42 billion."We expect a slight beat/raise driven by strong server CPU demand," RBC analyst Srini Pajjuri said. "(Personal computer) market also appears to be holding up for now."First-quarter revenue in the company's data center and artificial intelligence segment is pegged at $4.3 billion, representing a 3% annual gain, with room for potential upside, according to RBC."While demand remains strong, management expected internal wafer supply constraints to be most acute in (the first quarter) which could limit near-term upside," Pajjuri wrote. "Recent media reports point to Intel raising prices which should help."For the current quarter, RBC expects Intel to issue an outlook above Wall Street's estimates of $13.1 billion in revenue and adjusted EPS of $0.09, driven by server CPU demand and improving wafer supply.The data center and AI business is projected to see sequential growth of 10% in the second quarter, with RBC seeing potential upside amid improving supply and healthy pricing. The brokerage expects server demand to continue to benefit from agentic AI and sees industry supply remaining "tight" through 2026, it said in the note.RBC maintained its sector perform rating on Intel's stock with a $48 price target.The company's shares were up 0.3% in Tuesday afternoon trade, bringing its year-to-gains to nearly 79%.Last year, the US government agreed to invest $8.9 billion in Intel's common stock as part of a deal to secure a stake in the company. Separately, Nvidia (NVDA) agreed to inject $5 billion in Intel under a collaboration that aims to develop new data center and PC chips.Price: $66.04, Change: $+0.34, Percent Change: +0.52%
