Intel Corp. (INTC) 10-K Red Flags

Risk signals extracted deterministically from Intel Corp.’s SEC 10-K/10-Q XBRL filings — no LLM, every finding cites the underlying data.

Detected red flags (16)

  • Receivables outpacing revenue: Accounts receivable grew +10.4% YoY vs revenue growth of -0.5%. The +10.8% spread suggests extended credit terms, channel stuffing risk, or collection deterioration. Investigate the allowance for doubtful accounts and DSO trend.
  • Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" "internal control" appears in 2 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Gross margin expansion: Gross margin expanded +2.1%pp (from 32.7% to 34.8%), indicating improved pricing power, cost efficiency, or favorable product mix.
  • R&D intensity declining: R&D as % of revenue fell from 31.2% to 26.1%. This may signal reduced innovation investment — potentially impacting long-term competitive position. Compare with peer R&D trends.
  • NEW: Off-balance sheet arrangements: Off-balance sheet arrangements appears in recent filings but not in the prior 24-month period. Monitor for materiality.
  • Endogenous analysis: Revenue grew -0.5% but receivables grew +10.4% — the receivables-to-revenue gap suggests growth may be partially driven by extended credit terms rather than genuine demand. If DSO continues to rise, a revenue reversal or bad-debt charge could follow.
  • 17 new XBRL disclosure(s) in latest filing — expanding reporting scope.
  • 20 disclosure(s) dropped from prior year — reduced reporting granularity.

  • Receivables outpacing revenue: Accounts receivable grew +10.4% YoY vs revenue growth of -0.5%. The +10.8% spread suggests extended credit terms, channel stuffing risk, or collection deterioration. Investigate the allowance for doubtful accounts and DSO trend.
