One company that many analysts believed would beat estimates was chip giant Intel (NasdaqNM:INTC - news), which supplies over 80 percent of the world's microprocessors. Wu even predicted in early September that Intel would disclose an upside surprise ahead of its formal announcement. But even if Intel beat estimates, analysts and investors would be more anxious to hear its comments about how the Taiwanese earthquake would affect its fourth quarter. ''The worse case is they will be giving guidance for lower earnings based on the disruption in the supply chain,'' said Drew Peck, an SG Cowen & Co. analyst. ''The interesting aspect of all of this is that overall semiconductor demand is probably the strongest that it has been in five years.'' The following is a chart of earnings estimates for several U.S. semiconductor companies, as compiled by First Call.
