Intel CEO Sees No Second-Quarter Improvement
Reuters
TAIPEI, Taiwan (May 6) - The chief executive of Intel Corp., the world's largest semiconductor maker, said on Monday expectations that second-quarter revenues would be flat had not changed despite signs of an improving American economy.
''I know we've seen relatively strong announcements of GDP growth in the United States, but as far as I can tell, that hasn't translated into corporate profitability or corporate IT investment growth,'' Intel CEO Craig Barrett told reporters.
''We're looking at a relatively flat second quarter. I don't think you're going to see any substantial uptick in the industry until corporate profits increase and you see investment in corporate IT infrastructure,'' Barrett said.
''I wish I had something better to tell you,'' he told reporters, after giving a speech on improving math and science eduction.
U.S. gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 5.8 percent in the first quarter, its fastest pace in more than two years.
Intel had earlier said it expected revenues of $6.4 to $7 billion in the second quarter, and the midpoint of the range suggests sales will be flat with the first quarter's $6.78 billion.
