Shares of Intel are falling after hours by more than three percent after its results fell a penny short of what analysts were expecting.
Intel reported a 51 cents per-share profit on revenue of $13.8 billion. Revenue was slightly better than expectations. Intel’s gross margin, a closely watched indicator of its profitability, was 62 percent.
Looking ahead, Intel said that in the coming quarter it expects sales of $12.8 billion and a gross margin of 60 percent, plus or minus a few points. That’s more or less in line with what was expected. For the year, it said it expects sales of $53.2 billion, which is a slight improvement from the $52.7 billion it reported for 2013. It expects its gross margin to be about the same as the 59.8 percent it reported in 2013. It said it expects $11 billion, plus or minus a half billion, in capital spending this year.
Sales of chips into PCs held their own at $8.6 billion, more or less flat from the year-ago period. Sales into the data center at $3 billion were up eight percent.
In a statement, CEO Brian Krzanich said the company is seeing “signs of stabilization” in the PC market. “We’ve built a strong foundation for our business by bringing innovation to the market more quickly across a wide range of computing platforms. For example, at CES, we demonstrated multiple devices that weren’t on our roadmap six months ago,” he said.
Here’s the original press release; a conference call gets under way shortly.
