Intel Quarterly Earnings Beat Forecasts with Best Single-Day Stock Gain in 37 Years

Intel reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $13.6 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 29 cents, both beating Wall Street forecasts, sending shares up 24 percent for the best single-day gain since 1987.

Researchers announced significant progress in nuclear fusion technology on April 6, achieving another net energy gain with increased efficiency.

Scientists successfully demonstrated sustained fusion reactions producing 15% more energy than required for the reaction. The breakthrough brings practical fusion power plants closer to reality.

Multiple research teams worldwide are racing to develop commercially viable fusion technology, which could provide virtually limitless clean energy.

Challenges remain in improving reactor efficiency, maintaining reaction stability at scale, and developing materials that can withstand extreme conditions.

Governments are increasing funding for fusion research, recognizing its potential to address global energy needs sustainably. Private companies are also investing heavily in fusion development.

Experts believe that operational fusion power plants could begin supplying electricity to the grid within the next two decades. Success in fusion energy could fundamentally transform global energy systems and accelerate the transition to clean energy.
