INTC now down in AH.......... also QQQ's down (-24¢) more in AH...... AMAT -18¢ ..... NVLS -37¢ ..... KLAC -43¢ 16:36 ET Intel EPS confusion (INTC) 18.36 -0.76: -- Update -- Company reported a $0.09 profit excluding acquisition costs, but that still included a $106 mln charge related to the closing of its online services unit. Since estimates before and after they announced that charge in mid-June did not change, we had assumed that the charge was excluded from estimates and should therefore be excluded from today's number. Since it's not clear if that $106 mln charge is pre-tax or post-tax, the exact impact is unclear, but the result probably would have been $0.10-0.11 excluding that charge vs the $0.11 consensus. We will have to wait to hear more from the analysts about this charge before we can be sure.
