The same PTR filing also reports other same-day activity including Bloom Energy (BE) purchases and INTC call options purchases.

The House PTR primary document (Filing ID 20035143) indicates that on 2026-07-24 the member reported multiple transactions in a single filing, including Intel common stock (10,000 shares) and Intel call options, as well as Bloom Energy (BE) transactions. Intel filed an 8-K on 2026-07-23 (one day before the trade date) furnishing its Q2 2026 earnings press release, which stated Q2 revenue of $16.1B (up 25% YoY) and provided Q3 outlook; later, Intel filed an 8-K on 2026-08-12 relating to an announced common stock offering (press release exhibits describe a proposed $15B offering and an upsized/priced $20B offering at $95/share). A Federal Register Intel Corporation FTZ notice is dated 2026-07-24 (same date as the trade) and an additional FTZ-related Intel Corporation notice is dated 2026-08-03; earlier 2026 Federal Register notices involved Intel Foundry Corporation FTZ production activity (Jan 21 and Feb 6).
