The Intel Slide: Explained

Shares of Intel Corporation INTC took a nosedive during Friday’s trading. The tech giant delivered strong fourth-quarter results, but future projections failed to enthrall shareholders, causing a double-digit drop in their stock value.

The company’s forecast for the first quarter was considerably weak when compared to the expectations of Wall Street, with revenues expected to hover between $12.2 billion and $13.2 billion, falling short of the $14.2 billion estimate. Additionally, Intel projected first-quarter earnings of 13 cents per share – a far cry from the Street’s 33 cents per share estimate.

This grim outlook triggered a 10.7% plunge in Intel’s shares, which tumbled to $44.23 on Friday.

Meanwhile, other stocks were also on the move in Friday’s mid-day session.
