You'll forgive us if we don't overstate the importance of this outperformance; we seem to see this every quarter from Intel. First, analysts tend to keep their initial quarterly estimates locked in for the entire quarter with almost no upward revisions. Second, there always seems to be some point within each quarter where analysts doubt whether Intel has enough oomph to meet its estimates come earnings report time. And third, even when the positive earnings surprises do occur, they tend to be met with a lukewarm reception by investors in after-hours trading.
look at the calls piled up - ashes, ashes all go down.
