In the latest trading session, Intel (INTC) closed at $53.82, marking a -0.65% move from the previous day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.29%. Meanwhile, the Dow lost 0.55%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 0.07%.

Heading into today, shares of the world's largest chipmaker had gained 5.39% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 4.76% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.14% in that time.

Investors will be hoping for strength from INTC as it approaches its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect INTC to post earnings of $0.87 per share. This would mark no growth from the year-ago period. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $16.01 billion, down 0.33% from the prior-year quarter.

Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.50 per share and revenue of $70.71 billion. These totals would mark changes of -1.75% and -0.19%, respectively, from last year.

Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for INTC. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
