Intel shares fall about 28% after weaker fourth-quarter outlook
Intel expects fourth-quarter revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion, below analysts’ roughly $17 billion forecast. It also expects its gross margin to fall from 43% to 37% and no positive cash flow. Shares fell about 28% after the outlook; CNBC reports that the value of the government’s stake dropped by $12 billion. Data center revenue grew 78% from a year earlier, though Intel remains constrained by fab capacity.
