Intel Corporation (INTC) rallied $1.81 to $31.50 in after-hours Wednesday after it reported fiscal-second quarter earnings.
The chipmaker handed in EPS $0.55 on revenue of $13.20 billion, beating Street estimates of $0.50 per share on revenue of $13.05 billion, but down from $13.8 billion a year ago.
For Q3/15 the company guided revenues of $13.8 to $14.8 billion, as compared to analysts’ expectations of $14.1 billion. Intel said it expects revenue to fall about 1% for full year 2015 compared to 2014.
“Second-quarter results demonstrate the transformation of our business as growth in data center, memory and [Internet of Things] accounted for more than 70 percent of our operating profit and helped offset a challenging PC market,” Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said in a statement. “We continue to be confident in our growth strategy and are focused on innovation and execution. We expect the launches of Skylake, Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows 10 and new OEM systems will bring excitement to client computing in the second half of 2015.”
