It’s going to be a rough start of the year for one of the biggest chipmakers in the world, Intel.
About USD8 billion (~Php436.2 billion) in Intel’s market value have been wiped off last Friday after it stumped Wall Streat due to its disappointing earning projections, which also resulted in fears that the PC market is on a slump.
Intelpredicted a surprising loss for its first quarter of the year while its revenue forecast is USD3 billion lower than the estimates. It is said that part of the problem is Intel’s data center business experiencing slowed growth.
The company’s share closed to -6.4% while two of its biggest rivals,AMDandNVIDIA, were 0.3% and 2.8% higher, respectively. Even Intel’s supplier, KLA Corp, suffered a -6.9% loss.
