Overview

rule-v1

INTEL CORP is on classic Z at 1.43 (distress) for FY2025, from an SEC 10-K. Book equity / liabilities is the line that sets the print. Versus FY2024 the live print is still distress (+0.32 from 1.11). No market tape loaded. Classic Z was fit on manufacturers; buybacks can send retained earnings negative at otherwise healthy issuers, and X4 is book equity, not market cap.

Book screen Distress; market PD —. Tape not priced — not a single default call.

MD&A excerpt

Management discusses a foundry ramp that is still loss-making at current utilization, with IDM 2.0 capex remaining elevated relative to operating cash flow. The MD&A notes process-node delays versus TSMC, a dividend cut already taken, and a plan to fund the factory program with a mix of grants, customer prepayments, and remaining cash. Gross-margin recovery is gated on node yields and external foundry customer wins.

Market DD · naive Merton

No market tape yet.
