Intel (INTC) to suspend dividend payout as of Q4 2024, announces $10 billion cost reduction plan

As a gamer who’s been around the block a few times, I’ve seen my fair share of corporate shake-ups, but Intel’s Q4 2024 earnings report feels like a punch to the gut. I remember when Intel was the undisputed king in the tech world, and now it seems they’re struggling to keep their head above water.


As a long-time investor who has seen my fair share of market fluctuations and corporate announcements, I can’t help but feel a sense of unease upon learning about Intel’s recent quarterly earnings results for Q4 2024. The fact that they missed both revenue and earnings-per-share (EPS) metrics is concerning enough, but the additional news that they are implementing a $10 billion cost reduction plan, which includes significant layoffs affecting over 15,000 employees, has me worried about the future of the company.

Intel unveiled its fourth-quarter 2024 financial report, including details of a $10 billion cost-cutting strategy, on its investor relations platform. The document provides a comprehensive overview of this cost reduction plan.

In 2023, Intel’s workforce was reported to be approximately 124,800 employees according to MacroTrends. If they were to reduce their workforce by 15%, this would equate to roughly 18,720 workers. Additionally, the company clarified its decision to halt dividend payments as a strategic move aimed at bolstering its business for future quarters.
