December 31, 2024 calculation
Operating profit margin = Operating income (ttm) ÷ Revenue (ttm)
= $-11,678,000K ÷ $53,264,000K
= -21.92%
Intel Corporation's operating profit margin has shown a gradual decline over the past few years, starting at a robust 33.18% in March 2020 and dropping to 21.92% by December 2024. The company experienced a relatively stable margin in 2020 and early 2021, staying above 30%. However, from June 2022 onwards, there was a significant downward trend, with the margin plummeting to negative figures by March 2023. Although there was a slight recovery in the following quarters, the margin remained negative before turning positive again in December 2023.
The sharp decline in the operating profit margin from mid-2022 to the end of 2024 indicates challenges Intel faced in controlling costs and maintaining profitability. This declining trend suggests possible inefficiencies in cost management, pricing strategies, or revenue generation during this period. Intel may need to focus on improving operational efficiency and cost-cutting measures to address these profitability issues.
