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 (18)

  • Receivables outpacing revenue: Accounts receivable grew +2.2% YoY vs revenue growth of -14.0%. The +16.2% spread suggests extended credit terms, channel stuffing risk, or collection deterioration. Investigate the allowance for doubtful accounts and DSO trend.
  • Inventory buildup exceeds sales growth: Inventory grew +9.6% vs revenue -14.0%. Excess inventory may signal weakening demand, potential write-downs, or supply chain overcommitment. Watch gross margin for discounting impact.
  • Gross margin compression: Gross margin contracted +2.6%pp (from 42.6% to 40.0%). This may reflect input cost inflation, pricing pressure, or product mix shift toward lower-margin segments.
  • Interest coverage deteriorating below 3x: Interest coverage fell from 3.71x to 0.16x. Operating income of $93.0M covers interest of $597.0M only 0.16x — approaching the threshold where debt service becomes constrained. Monitor for covenant breaches.
  • NEW: Going concern doubt in latest filing: The term "going concern" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 5 filing(s).
  • Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" appears in 26 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Endogenous analysis: Revenue grew -14.0% but receivables grew +2.2% — 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.
  • Endogenous analysis: Inventory accumulation alongside margin compression is a classic demand-softening signal: excess inventory typically leads to discounting, which compresses margins further. Monitor for clearance events, write-downs, or guidance revisions.
  • 2 new XBRL disclosure(s) in latest filing — expanding reporting scope.
  • 20 disclosure(s) dropped from prior year — reduced reporting granularity.
  • 1 new risk-language term(s) detected in filing text: Going concern doubt.
  • Ongoing high-severity risk language: Material weakness in internal controls, Restatement of financial statements.
  • Revenue declined **+14.0%** YoY to $54.23B.
  • Net margin at **3.11%** (contracting ▼).
  • Market cap $604.88B at $120.35 per share.
  • Trailing P/E 300.87, P/S 11.15, P/B 5.43.
  • Receivables outpacing revenue: Accounts receivable grew +2.2% YoY vs revenue growth of -14.0%. The +16.2% spread suggests extended credit terms, channel stuffing risk, or collection deterioration. Investigate the allowance for doubtful accounts and DSO trend.
  • Inventory buildup exceeds sales growth: Inventory grew +9.6% vs revenue -14.0%. Excess inventory may signal weakening demand, potential write-downs, or supply chain overcommitment. Watch gross margin for discounting impact.
