Key Risk:
- Customer Concentration Risk: INTC's three largest customers accounted for 43% of revenue in FY21 (39% in FY20 and 41% in FY19), with Dell Inc. accounting for 21% (17% in FY20 and 17% in FY19), Lenovo Group Limited for 12% (12% in FY20 and 13% in FY19), and HP Inc. accounting for 10%. (10% in FY20 and 11% in FY19). As a result, if a company relies too heavily on a few clients, its long-term financial health may suffer.
- Global Operational Risk: Sales outside the United States accounted for 82% of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, with revenue from billings to China accounting for 27%. As a result, many global and regional factors beyond its control may jeopardize the company's operational and financial health.
