Intel's Big Splash Will Be Capex Budget
Tuesday January 14, 1:01 pm ET

By James J. Cramer,

Addicted to short-term Wall Street gibberish? Here's your fix on Intel (NasdaqNM:INTC - News), which reports after the close. The betting's shaping up like this: The bulls want to see $7.1 billion in revenue (the benchmark set by Salomon Smith Barney Monday). The bears want to see something below $6.97 billion. The bears want to see 13 cents; the bulls want 15 cents. To me, that means we'll get $7.1 billion and 14 cents; the stock will go up a little bit and then we'll focus on Microsoft (NasdaqNM:MSFT - News) and IBM (NYSE:IBM - News), both of which have more upside than Intel.

But, get this: Capital expenditure stocks are the true drivers here. When Intel unveils its capital budget, if we see north of $4.6 billion, you can see the Novellus (NasdaqNM:NVLS - News)-KLA-Tencor (NasdaqNM:KLAC - News) basket vault 2.5 points. If we see south of $4 billion, you can see that contingent swoon 4 points.
