Chiphersteller: Intel-Prognose enttäuscht Börse – Aktie bricht ein
Der Chipriese Intel schien nach langer Durststrecke auf dem Weg der Besserung. Doch jetzt sorgen hohe Speicherpreise dafür, dass weniger Computer gekauft werden – und Intel leidet darunter.
Intel, the chipmaker, has disappointed the market with its earnings forecast for the current quarter, leading to a significant drop in the company's stock price. The stock plummeted by nearly one-fifth in after-hours trading, falling below $25 from its previous level. Intel had projected revenue between $15 and $16 billion for the quarter, but analysts were expecting around $17 billion.
The company's adjusted earnings per share fell short of the market's expectations by a wide margin, with Intel providing an EPS of 25 cents compared to the anticipated 43 cents.
Intel's finance chief, David Zinsner, explained to CNBC, a business news network, that the company had been observing a slowdown in business for several weeks. This decline was attributed to high memory prices, which discouraged consumers from purchasing devices. Zinsner emphasized that the personal computer business would continue to be hindered throughout the first half of 2027. The memory prices have surged in recent months due to the high demand for artificial intelligence data centers.
Last quarter, Intel's revenue decreased by 21% year-over-year, reaching $16.5 billion, which aligns with the expectations of analysts. However, the company's earnings took a hit, falling by 18% to $3.3 billion.
