Will Lower Aggregate Revenues Hurt Intel's (INTC) Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Intel Corporation (INTC - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Jan 26, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 54.1%. The bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 60 cents.
The Santa Clara, CA-based company is expected to have recorded year-over-year lower aggregate revenues due to headwinds in the enterprise business of the data center segment.
Factors at Play
During the quarter, VMware partnered with Intel to deliver security, maintenance and intelligent analytics for commercial PCs. Nokia launched an industrial edge solution that utilizes Intel’s innovations to help enterprises achieve digital transformation goals.
Amazon Web Services announced the availability of its latest cloud service powered by the Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Microsoft unveiled its newest Azure Confidential Computing Virtual Machines, DCsv3, powered by the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel Software Guard Extensions.
Snowflake and Intel collaborated to provide performance across multiple public clouds to joint customers. Intel collaborated with Inspur, Ruijie Networks and Silicom to develop new FPGA-based infrastructure processing unit solutions that deliver highly customized solutions to cloud and networking customers. These developments are likely to have aided Intel’s performance.
For the December quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $18,305 million, which indicates a decline of 8.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share is pegged at 90 cents, which suggests a decrease of 40.8%.
