finance.yahoo.com
April 28 (Reuters) - Chipmaker Intel Corp forecast second-quarter revenue below Wall Street expectations on Thursday on worries of demand weakness from its largest end market, PCs, and increased supply-chain uncertainty due to COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
Shares of the company fell 5% in after-market trading.
The company expects current-quarter revenue of about $18 billion compared with analysts' average estimate of $18.38 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
Rising inflation, resurgence of COVID-19 in China and uncertainties around the war in Ukraine have shifted consumer spending away from gadgets, hurting Intel, which saw more than half of its revenue last year coming from the segment selling processors for PCs.
Analysts say the PC market is coming off from searing rates of growth over the last two years as remote working and learning triggered high demand during the pandemic.
As lockdowns in China continue, supply-chain bottlenecks are likely to hurt Intel's customers, in turn affecting the chipmaker's business.
Adjusted revenue for the first quarter was $18.4 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $18.31 billion. (Reporting by Chavi Mehta and Eva Mathews in Bengaluru and Jane Lanhee Lee in Oakland, Calif.; Editing by Krishna Chandra Eluri) |

Earnings fuel dip-buying efforts
28-Apr-22 16:15 ET
Dow +614.66 at 33916.59, Nasdaq +382.59 at 12871.52, S&P +103.67 at 4287.62
[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 rallied 2.5% on Thursday, as earnings reactions helped instill confidence in dip-buying efforts. The Nasdaq Composite rose 3.1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.9%, and the Russell 2000 rose 1.8%.
After a shaky start in which the major indices, except the S&P 500, turned negative, the market kicked into higher gear in the afternoon. All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 closed higher with gains ranging from 1.1% (utilities) to 4.0% (information technology).
Meta Platforms (FB 205.73, +30.78, +17.6%) had sort of a halo effect on the mega-caps, as shares surged 17.6% following its better-than-feared earnings report. Apple (AAPL 163.64, +7.07, +4.5%) and Amazon.com (AMZN 2891.93, +128.59, +4.7%) posted strong gains in front of their earnings reports after the close.
Qualcomm's (QCOM 148.19, +13.09, +9.7%) results and guidance had a similar effect on the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (+5.6%), while the 11% gain in PayPal (PYPL 92.09, +9.48, +11.5%) despite its downside guidance was viewed as a justification to buy other beaten-down growth stocks -- but not Teladoc (TDOC 33.51, -22.48, -40.2%), which cratered 40% on disappointing guidance.
McDonald's (MCD 254.19, +7.05, +2.9%) and Merck (MRK 88.58, +4.17, +4.9%) also pleased investors with their earnings reports. Fellow Dow components Caterpillar (CAT 212.44, -1.52, -0.7%) and Amgen (AMGN 238.13, -10.66, -4.3%), however, closed lower despite beating EPS estimates.
Of course, the notion that the market was simply due for a bounce from an oversold condition can't be understated. Encouragingly, too, the stock market did not appear fazed by the disappointing Advance Q1 GDP report that had marks of stagflation.
Briefly, real GDP decreased at an annual rate of 1.4% in the first quarter (Briefing.com consensus +1.1%) while the GDP Chain Deflator increased by a larger-than-expected 8.0% (Briefing.com consensus +7.3%).
The Treasury market, however, did react in such a way that maintained expectations for the Fed to prioritize tighter policy to keep inflation pressures in check. The 2-yr yield rose seven basis points to 2.64%, and the 10-yr yield rose five basis points to 2.86%. The U.S. Dollar Index (103.59, +0.64, +0.6%) hit a 20-year high. WTI crude settled above $105 per barrel ($105.31, +3.56, +3.5%).
Reviewing Thursday's economic data:
- Real GDP decreased at an annual rate of 1.4% in the first quarter (Briefing.com consensus +1.1%) while the GDP Chain Deflator shot up 8.0% (Briefing.com consensus +7.3%). Real final sales of domestic product, which exclude the change in private inventories, were down 0.6%.
- The key takeaway from the report is that it will exacerbate concerns about the U.S. economy being at risk of slipping into an eventual recession at worst or at least entering a stagflation period that will necessitate tighter monetary policy to get inflation under control.
- Initial jobless claims for the week ending April 23 decreased by 5,000 to 180,000 (Briefing.com consensus 182,000). Continuing claims for the week ending April 16 decreased by 1,000 to 1.408 million, which is the lowest level since February 7, 1970.
- The key takeaway from this report remains the same: jobless claims are near historically low levels, which is indicative of a tight labor market. The tightness in the labor market, though, will continue to fuel concerns about wage-based inflation pressures that can feed into more persistent, and broader, price inflation.
Looking ahead, investors will receive Personal Income and Spending for March, PCE Prices for March, the Q1 Employment Cost Index, the Chicago PMI for April, and the final University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment for April on Friday.

Crude futures settle above $105 per barrel
28-Apr-22 15:30 ET
Dow +728.84 at 34030.77, Nasdaq +445.53 at 12934.46, S&P +120.90 at 4304.85
[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 is up 2.9% to trade at fresh session highs as investors continue to follow through on dip-buying efforts.
One last look at the sectors shows gains across the board. The information technology sector sits atop with a 4.5% gain while the utilities sector underperforms with a 1.0% gain.
WTI crude futures settled higher by $3.56 (+3.5%) to $105.31/barrel. The higher oil prices has provided an additional boost for the energy sector (+3.9%). |

Intel says chip shortage to last to 2024
News Analysis Pádraig Belton, Contributor, Light Reading 4/29/20225-6 minutes
A year ago, Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger said the chip shortage wouldn't be over until 2023.
Now make that 2024.
"We expect the industry will continue to see challenges until at least 2024 in areas like foundry capacity and tool availability," he told a conference call yesterday.
Adding to the supply crunch is the fact that TSMC is gobbling up chipmaking equipment, making tools hard to come by, Gelsinger said.
The forecast about 2024 came amid the gloomiest earnings beat you'd ever seen.
Yes, the Santa Clara chip giant brought in $18.35 billion in revenue in the first quarter, a nose ahead of analysts' predicted $18.31 billion.

But the champagne wasn't quite out exactly, since this was down 7% on a year before. The company's gross margins shrank meanwhile to 50.4% from 55.2%.
Analysts "have been crabby for ages" about Intel's declining margins, tweeted reporter Stephen Shankland.
But the company's new finance chief, David Zinsner, predicted these will start growing later in 2022 after PC makers burn through inventory they piled up during the pandemic.
When the chips are down
All this comes after a busy quarter when Intel announced it's buying Tower Semiconductor and building new chip factories in Germany and Ohio.
Gelsinger, who has been in his post for a year now, calls Intel on his watch "the greatest turnaround story in history." But it's a turnabout from the disastrous summer of 2020 which saw nearly everything go wrong.
Within a mere few weeks the company was pushing back its 7nm node from 2021 to 2023, losing a world-class chip designer and head of its 10,000-person semiconductor engineering team in Jim Keller, and then getting dumped by one of its key customers, Apple.
Cupertino's CEO Tim Cook heaped a bitter break-up note on the fire, publicly blaming a dip in Mac sales on supply issues with processors on Apple's side.
By contrast, this now looks like an Intel which has reclaimed a sense of strategy and purpose.
Gelsinger's "IDM 2.0" strategy involves outsourcing chips to more external foundries like TSMC and GlobalFoundries, and also making more chips for other companies via its new Intel Foundry Services. A $20 billion investment into two new fabs in Arizona is meant to bolster its wares on the second front.
It's a strategy that's meant to fix two problems: Intel's production techniques have lagged behind sector leaders like TSMC, while it also must try and keep pace with a demand for chips that's running at an all-time high.
So with Intel investing in its European chipmaking network and developing what could be the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing site in Ohio, Gelsinger is willing to spend big now to have a crack at what he called a "$1 trillion market opportunity" in a few years' time.
There's just the question of paying for it. These creaky silicon supply chains mean "the world needs more resilient and geographically balanced semiconductor manufacturing," said Gelsinger.
It's all pretty transparently cocking aim at more US government funding, as the US CHIPS Act rumbles through Capitol Hill.
Intel inside a bit lessGlobal PC sales were down by 6.8% in the first quarter, after two years of searing growth, according to research firm Gartner. Leading this drop was a collapse in demand for budget Chromebooks, which flew off the shelves during lockdown.
On Intel's side, PC chip sales declined, as consumers and students bought fewer computers, and with Apple shifting to making its own M1 Pro chips instead.
The Client Computing Group, which includes Intel's PC chipmaking, saw its revenues drop 13% to $9.29 billion, lower than analysts' predicted $9.42 billion. This segment is an important one, responsible for more than half of Intel's revenue.

your inboxBut on the other side, data centers and enterprise customers picked up, with revenue from Intel's Datacenter and AI segment jumping 22% to $6 billion. This is a smaller business than PC chipmaking, but a higher-margin one.
The return of COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai "does moderate our outlook a little bit on Q2," says Gelsinger, down to $18 billion in revenue for the quarter versus analysts' prediction of $18.4 billion.
But it should all come out in the wash by the end of the year with growth rebounding in later quarters, says Intel's upbeat chipmaker-in-chief.

This explanation is nonsense. Intel can just pay more than TSMC for the same tool, and tools will be easy to come by, and TSMC will have a shortage of tools problem.
Intel should buy SIMO using Intel stock. SIMO is a cash generating machine, and Intel is going to need cash to pay the R&D necessary to "catch up" to TSMC.
These days almost every PC needs a NAND flash controller chip to make it work, why no one wants to buy SIMO is beyond me. SIMO's forward PE off of 2022 EPS is about 9x......maybe less. |

Stocks sell off to close out a disappointing month
29-Apr-22 16:15 ET
Dow -939.18 at 32977.21, Nasdaq -536.89 at 12334.63, S&P -155.57 at 4131.93
[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 dropped 3.6% on Friday in an orderly retreat fueled by disappointing earnings news and sticky inflation pressures. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (-2.8%) and Russell 2000 (-2.9%) both declined 2.8% while the Nasdaq Composite underperformed with a 4.2% decline.
The losses were widespread: all 11 S&P 500 sectors closed lower with losses ranging from 2.0% (materials) to 5.9% (consumer discretionary); 28 of the 30 Dow components closed lower; and declining issues outnumbered advancing issues by a 4:1 margin at the NYSE and a 5:2 margin at the Nasdaq.
Amazon.com (AMZN 2485.63, -406.30, -14.1%) was the biggest drag on the market, falling 14% on downside revenue and operating income guidance for the second quarter. The disappointing guidance reminded investors about the slower growth prospects in an inflationary environment.
Pricing pressures were further illustrated by Apple's (AAPL 157.65, -5.99, -3.7%) warning of higher supply chain costs for fiscal Q3, the 6.6% year-over-year increase in the PCE Price Index for March, and the 1.4% increase in the Q1 Employment Cost Index (Briefing.com consensus 1.1%). Note, Apple topped earnings expectations.
Intel (INTC 43.59, -3.25, -6.9%), Chevron (CVX 156.67, -5.12, -3.2%), and Exxon Mobil (XOM 85.15, -2.05, -2.4%) also fell sharply following their earnings reports, while Honeywell (HON 193.51, +3.59, +1.9%) closed higher after providing pleasing earnings results and guidance.
More relevantly, the inflation data reinforced expectations for the Fed to shift to a tighter policy stance with the intent to rein in inflation pressures. The CME FedWatch Tool was pricing in an 88.4% probability for a 75-basis-point rate hike in June in addition to a 50-basis-point hike next week.
These expectations were also evident in the Treasury market, where the 2-yr yield increased five basis points to 2.69% and the 10-yr yield increased two basis points to 2.89%. The U.S. Dollar Index decreased 0.4% to 103.20. WTI crude futures decreased 0.3%, or $0.28, to $105.03/bbl.
Separately, Elon Musk said he had no plans to sell more shares of Tesla (TSLA 870.76, -6.75, -0.8%) after selling over $8 billion worth of stock this week.
Reviewing Friday's economic data:
- Personal income increased 0.5% month-over-month (Briefing.com consensus 0.4%) following an upwardly revised 0.7% increase (from 0.5%) in February. Personal spending jumped 1.1% month-over-month (Briefing.com consensus 0.6%) following an upwardly revised 0.6% increase (from 0.2%) in February. The PCE Price Index surged 0.9% month-over-month, which took the year-over-year rate to 6.6% from 6.3% in February. The core PCE Price Index, which excludes food and energy, was up a more modest 0.3%, as expected, leaving the year-over-year increase at 5.2% versus 5.3% in February.
- The key takeaway from the report is that real disposable personal income declined 0.4% in March, which helps explain why the personal savings rate, as a percentage of disposable personal income, dipped to 6.2% from 6.8%. In other words, consumers were spending out of savings presumably to maintain their standard of living in the face of higher costs.
- The Q1 Employment Cost Index increased 1.4% (Briefing.com consensus 1.1%) on a seasonally adjusted basis for the three-month period ending in March. Wages and salaries, which account for about 70% of compensation costs, increased 1.2% and benefit costs, which make up the remainder of compensation costs, increased 1.8% for civilian workers.
- The key takeaway from the report is that wages and salaries for workers were up from the same period a year ago, yet those gains have increasingly been subsumed by inflation, evidenced by the 7.0% increase in the PCE Price Index seen in the advance Q1 GDP report.
- The final University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment for April dropped to 65.2 (Briefing.com consensus 65.7) from the preliminary reading of 65.7. The final reading for March was 59.4. The April uptick was nice to see, although the April reading is one of the lowest readings over the last 10 years.
- The key takeaway from the report is that the improvement was driven largely by an expectation that gas price increases will moderate significantly, but even so, there wasn't much improvement in the overall sentiment index, which is trolling its worst levels in the past decade.
- The Chicago PMI for April decreased to 58.5 (Briefing.com consensus 62.0) from 62.9 in March.
Looking ahead, investors will receive the ISM Manufacturing Index for April and Construction Spending for March on Monday.
- Dow Jones Industrial Average -9.3% YTD
- S&P 500 -13.3% YTD
- Russell 2000 -17.0% YTD
- Nasdaq Composite -21.2% YTD
Crude futures settle lower but remain elevated
29-Apr-22 15:30 ET
Dow -750.00 at 33166.39, Nasdaq -454.51 at 12417.01, S&P -134.18 at 4153.32
[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 is now down a steep 3.1% amid a dearth of buying interest.
One last look at the S&P 500 sectors shows ten sectors down at least 2.0%, with consumer discretionary down 5.5%. The materials sector is down the least with a current 1.3% decline.
WTI crude futures settled lower by $0.28 (-0.3%) to $105.03/barrel. |
