Intel stock plunges 20% as chipmaker blames PC slowdown for weak guidance
The chipmaker said fourth-quarter profit and revenue will trail Wall Street estimates as PC demand stays weak and supply problems hit its data center business.
- On Thursday, Intel shares plunged after the chipmaker issued a weak fourth-quarter forecast, citing persistent softness in the global PC market. The company expects revenue between $15 billion and $16 billion.
- While Intel reported third-quarter revenue of $16.51 billion, climbing 21% from $13.7 billion a year earlier, results missed analyst projections of $17.1 billion from LSEG. Earnings per share reached 52 cents, exceeding the expected 40 cents.
- Revenue in Intel's client computing and physical AI group fell 5% to $8.1 billion, missing estimates. Data center and AI revenue jumped 78% to $7.3 billion, underscoring the company's shift toward high-growth infrastructure.
- Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan noted "robust demand for CPUs" despite near-term headwinds. Finance chief David Zinsner expects the PC slowdown to continue through the first half of next year.
- Expanding its foundry business, Intel recently installed the first structural truss at its Ohio chip fab. Oracle announced an expanded deal to deploy the chipmaker's next-generation Xeon server processors, bolstering data center capacity.
