$Intel (INTC.US)$ delivered a mixed fourth-quarter report, with revenue exceeding Wall Street expectations but earnings showing a steep decline year-over-year. Shares were trading slightly higher at 1.85% shortly after market close Thursday.
The semiconductor giant reported Q4 revenue of $14.3 billion, down 7% YoY, but surpassing analysts’ consensus estimate of $13.81 billion, according to Benzinga. However, earnings painted a different picture—GAAP EPS came in at a loss of $0.03, while non-GAAP EPS was $0.13, slightly edging out expectations of $0.12. Still, this marked a sharp 76% drop from last year’s $0.54 EPS.
For the full year, Intel posted $53.1 billion in revenue, a 2% decline YoY. GAAP EPS for 2024 stood at $(4.38), while non-GAAP EPS was $(0.13).
Looking ahead, Intel’s Q1 2025 guidance suggests a continued slowdown, with projected revenue between $11.7 billion and $12.7 billion, and EPS expected at $(0.27) GAAP and $0.00 non-GAAP.
“The fourth quarter was a positive step forward as we delivered revenue, gross margin and EPS above our guidance,” said Michelle Johnston Holthaus, interim co-CEO of Intel and CEO of Intel Products.
“The cost reduction plan we announced last year to improve the trajectory of the company is having an impact,” added David Zinsner, interim co-CEO and chief financial officer of Intel. “We are fostering a culture of efficiency across the business while driving toward greater returns on our invested capital and improved profitability. Our Q1 outlook reflects seasonal weakness magnified by macro uncertainties, further inventory digestion and competitive dynamics. We will remain highly focused on execution to build on our progress and unlock value.”
