Intel Exceeds Analyst Expectations, Semiconductor Companies Deliver Mixed Results: Analysis and Insights

Intel, a leading chipmaking company located in Santa Clara, California, exceeded analyst predictions in the first quarter with adjusted earnings of 18 cents per share on sales of $12.72 billion. However, the company provided lower guidance for the current quarter, causing its stock to decline in extended trading. Despite this, Intel’s stock rose by 1.8% during the regular trading session on Thursday and closed at 35.11.

In addition to Intel’s report, other semiconductor companies such as STMicroelectronics and Mobileye Global also released their first-quarter results. While STMicroelectronics missed analyst estimates and offered a lower outlook for the upcoming quarter due to weak performance in automotive and industrial chip markets, Mobileye Global delivered mixed Q1 results and issued in-line sales guidance for the next year. Mobileye specializes in producing chips and hardware for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.
