Intel r&d spending trends
Over the last five fiscal years, Intel's r&d spending increased from $13.56B to $13.77B, a change of $218.0M. The latest reported quarter, Q2 2026, shows $3.37B.
About the metric
What research and development spending means
Research and development (R&D) spending covers the costs of creating and improving products, services, software, technologies, and processes. Higher R&D spending may support future innovation, but the amount alone does not show whether those investments will generate returns.
Calculation and source
SEC-reported R&D expense
TickerStat standardizes research and development expense reported in company SEC filings, including the software-specific US-GAAP R&D concept when it is the filer’s primary R&D expense line. It is historical company-reported spending, not an estimate or forecast. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
