Intel had some tough news for the chip sector late Thursday, lowering revenue guidance and cutting capital spending projections.
Intel said it now expects fourth-quarter sales of $10.4-$10.6 billion, below Wall Street's $10.61 billion estimate. The company also said that capital spending "is expected to be below the midpoint of the previous expectation of $5.9 billion, plus or minus $200 million," bad news for chip equipment companies. Gross margin expectations of 63 percent stayed the same.
On a conference call, Intel CFO Andy Bryant said revenue growth was hit by rising inventories and chip capacity constraints. The inventory issue should be resolved soon, but the capacity constraints that have plagued the company for much of this year could continue into next year.
On capital spending, Bryant said Intel isn't cutting its CapEx plans, but had simply over estimated costs.
Intel shares fell 2.7% after hours on top of a 1.7% drop during the day. The chip sector lost 1.5% in late trading.
