INTC $48.66/share -9.68% After Hours

Intel shares plunge after Q3 data center sales fall 7%, missing estimates
Oct. 22, 2020 4:23 PM ET|About: Intel Corporation (INTC)|By: Brandy Betz, SA News Editor

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) shares slide 10.3% AH after the Q3 revenue beat, in-line profit, and raised full-year guidance were offset by the surprise decline in the Data Center Group.

Data-centric revenue was down 10% Y/Y overall with DCG down 7% Y/Y to $5.9B, below the $6.22B consensus.

Within DCG, cloud revenue was up 15%, while the Enterprise & Government market was down 47% after two quarters of 30%+ growth due to the pandemic-related economic strain.

PC-centric revenue was up 1% to $9.8B as the pandemic tailwind continues for the PC industry.

10nm update: Intel says its third 10nm facility (located in Arizona) is now fully operational, and the company expects to ship 30% higher production volumes this year than forecast in January.

For Q4, Intel forecasts $17.4B in revenue (consensus: $17.38B), 26.5% operating margin, and $1.10 EPS (consensus: $1.07). PC-centric revenue is expected to be down low single digits Y/Y, and Data-centric is guided down 25%.

For the year, Intel sees revenue of $75.3B vs. $75B prior guidance and the $75.16B consensus. EPS is raised from $4.85 to $4.90 compared to the $4.85 consensus. PC-centric and Data-centric sales are expected up mid-single digits Y/Y.
