Chipkonzern: 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.
Santa Clara - The chip giant Intel has left investors disappointed with its forecast for the current quarter, causing its stock to plummet by nearly a fifth in the first reaction on the market after trading. Intel had predicted revenue between $15 and $16 billion for the current quarter, while analysts were expecting a figure closer to $17 billion.
The company missed the earnings per share target by a wide margin, with a forecast of 25 US cents falling far short of the market's expectation of 43 cents. Intel's finance chief, David Zinsner, told business news channel CNBC that the company had been detecting a slowdown in business for weeks due to high memory prices causing fewer devices to be purchased.
The personal computer business would also continue to be hampered throughout the first half of 2027, emphasized Zinsner. Memory prices have risen sharply in recent months due to high demand for data centers expanding artificial intelligence computing capacity. Revenue for the quarter fell 21% year-over-year to $16.5 billion, matching analyst expectations. Overall, earnings fell 18% to $3.3 billion.
