UPDATE 1-Intel warns on quarter, weak demand everywhere
Wednesday 11/12/2008 10:36 PM ET - Xinhua Financial News

Microchip maker Intel Corp on Wednesday warned that its revenue would be about 14 percent below its previous forecast due to weak demand around the globe and in all market segments, and its shares fell 7 percent.

The biggest maker of chips for personal computers said the PC industry supply chain was aggressively reducing component inventories. The company, seen as a technology bellwether, did not single out the weak global economy, but investors are concerned the world is on the verge of recession.

"It means consumer's have basically shut down for the holidays," said Charter Equity Research analyst John Dryden. "It's so far below what they had expected .... The company had outlined weakness in enterprise but not the consumer yet."

Intel forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $9 billion, plus or minus $300 million. That compares with its previous forecast of $10.1 billion to $10.9 billion, or 14 percent below the $10.5 billion midpoint.

The company also sharply dropped its gross profit margin outlook to 55 percent, plus or minus a couple of percentage points, from 59 percent, plus or minus a couple of percentage points and said it would cut spending.

Shares of Intel dropped to $12.61, and IBM dropped about 1 percent after the warning.
this is bad.

Intel is really looking pretty enticing at this level. They have a decent pile of cash, processors to grow their server market coming out, and guided a decent amount lower. Unless we hit depression type contractions they should be good, especially with the dividend to soften the downturn on the investor.

09:01 INTC Intel sees Q4 revs of $8.2 bln vs $8.74 bln First Call consensus

09:05 INTC Intel cuts Q4 revenue guidance (15.37 ) -Update-

Co announces that Q4 rev will be lower than the co's previous expectation provided on Nov 12, sees revs of $8.2 bln vs $8.74 bln First Call consensus. Co cites further weakness in end demand and inventory reductions by its customers in the global PC supply chain. The preliminary estimate of gross margin for Q4 is at the bottom of the previous expectation of 55%, plus or minus a couple of points. As a result of the year-end market price of Clearwire stock, Intel will impair the value of its investment, resulting in a non-cash charge to Q4 earnings of approx $950 mln. The company now expects the net gain or loss from equity investments and interest and other to be a loss of between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion versus a previous expectation of a loss of approximately $50 million. Spending (R&D plus MG&A) is expected to be approximately $2.6 billion, lower than the previous expectation of approximately $2.8 billion. Restructuring and asset impairment charges are expected to be approximately $250 million, unchanged. The company is continuing to review its fourth-quarter results and will provide additional information in its previously scheduled earnings announcement on Jan. 15. (Stock is trading at ~14.70 in pre-mkt.)
