Intel’s stock crashes, knocking $12B from government’s stake
Overview
Intel shares fell sharply on Friday after a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter outlook, reducing the value of the U.S. government's stake by $12 billion. The Trump administration bought a 10% stake over a year ago. The holding remains profitable so far, with the stock up more than 70% for the year after summer peaks.
Key facts
- Guidance put fourth-quarter revenue at $15 billion to $16 billion, while analysts looked for around $17 billion.
- Intel warned gross margin would decline to 37% from 43% and that it expected no positive cash flow.
- CEO Lip-Bu Tan said customers flagged a PC slowdown tied to memory prices, availability, and higher endpoint prices.
