Why Intel Stock Plunged Today
Shares of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) fell 5.3% on Friday, following the semiconductor giant's second-quarter earnings release and conference call.
Intel's revenue was flat year over year at $19.6 billion, while its adjusted earnings per share rose 12% to $1.14. That was well above Wall Street's expectations, which had called for EPS of only $1.06.
"There's never been a more exciting time to be in the semiconductor industry," CEO Pat Gelsinger said in a press release. "The digitization of everything continues to accelerate, creating a vast growth opportunity for us and our customers across core and emerging business areas."
