Intel Misses Q2 Earnings Estimate, Cuts View: ETFs in Focus
Read MoreHide Full Article
Intel (INTC - Free Report) reported Q2 results after market close yesterday. The world’s largest chipmaker missed estimates for both earnings and revenues and slashed the outlook for the fiscal year, citing cooling demand for its chips used in personal computers.
As such, shares of INTC plunged more than 10% in after-market hours. Given this, ETFs like Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (SOXQ - Free Report) , First Trust Nasdaq Semiconductor ETF (FTXL - Free Report) , First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund (TDIV - Free Report) , iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX - Free Report) and iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Factor ETF (VLUE - Free Report) , having the highest allocation to the world’s biggest semiconductor maker, will be in focus.
Q2 Earnings in Focus
Earnings of 29 cents per share came much below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 69 cents and four times lower than the year-ago earnings of $1.28. This marks the first miss in more than eight years.
Revenues declined 17% year over year to $15.3 billion and came in below the estimated $17.9 billion. This represents the seventh straight quarter of decline and the biggest in more than a decade. Both client computing, and data-center and AI revenues declined 25% and 16%, respectively. However, network and edge, accelerated computing systems and graphics, and Mobileye revenues were up 11%, 5% and 41%, respectively (see: all the Technology ETFs here).
Intel has been grappling with a chip shortage. It continues to face challenges linked to persistent global supply-chain problems and worries of demand weakness in its largest end market PCs, in the upcoming quarters.
Intel slashed its revenue guidance to $65-$68 billion from $76 billion for the full fiscal year, and earnings per share guidance to $2.30 from $3.60. For the third quarter, the company expects revenues of $15-$16 billion and earnings per share of 35 cents. Both revenue and earnings per share guidance are well below the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of $19.89 billion and $1.00 per share, respectively.
