Intel stock falls 6% after company offers soft first-quarter guidance
Intel's Q1 forecast shows revenue between $11.7 billion and $12.7 billion and break-even EPS amid supply constraints and production issues with 18A technology, CFO said.
- On Thursday, Intel reported fourth-quarter results that beat estimates with adjusted EPS of 15 cents and revenue of $13.7 billion, but gave first-quarter revenue guidance below LSEG consensus estimates.
- Management pointed to timing uncertainty for foundry ramps, noting customers for 14A are expected later this month, and the company is cautious about announcing them.
- Data Center and AI sales reached $4.7 billion, up 9%, while foundry revenue was $4.5 billion and Client Computing Group fell 7%, with a net loss of $600 million.
- Shares fell as much as 6% in after-hours trading, despite the stock's 147% rise in the past year, after Intel completed a $5 billion stock sale to Nvidia and saw major investments from Nvidia, SoftBank and the U.S. government.
- CFO David Zinsner said next-generation 14A customers would emerge in the second half, requiring capital spending while foundry revenue and CEO Lip-Bu Tan highlight CPUs’ AI role.
