1 May, 2023: On Thursday, Intel stated first-quarter results showing a staggering 133% annual revenue decrease for every share. Revenue dropped nearly 36% every year to $11.7 billion.
Still, the loss for every share and sale exceeded soft Wall Street expectations. The stock plunged in extended trading following initially rising on the report.
For the upcoming quarter, Intel predicts losing 4 cents per share on earnings of $12 billion. That forecast is shy of analyst anticipations for earnings of 1 cent for each share on $11.75 billion in sales.
In the first quarter, Intel is plunging to a net loss of $2.8 billion for each share, from a net gain of $8.1 billion, or $1.98 per share, in the previous year.
Excluding impacting of inventory restructuring, a recent change to employee stock options and different acquisition-related payments, Intel stated that it lost 4 cents a share, a narrower loss than analysts had expected.
Earnings come down to $11.7 billion from $18.4 billion every year.
It’s the fifth continuous quarter of decreasing sales for the semiconductor giant and the second quarter of losses. It’s also Intel’s most considerable quarterly loss of all time, beating out the fourth quarter of 2017, when it loses $687 million.
As CEO Patrick Gelsinger finished his third year at the company’s helm that put “silicon” in “Silicon Valley,” investors wonder if Intel has bottomed out. The stock is up more than 9% so far in 2023 but down over 35% since last year.
“We still have more work to do as we reestablish process, product, and cost leadership, but we continue to give proof points each quarter,” Gelsinger said on an earnings call.
In the meantime, a business that used to print money is struggling, especially in PC chips, which used to be the company’s most robust product line. According to an estimate from market tracker IDC, international PC shipments dropped nearly 30% in the first quarter as the industry is mired in a recession.
Intel’s Client Computing Group, including chips that power the highest of desktop and Windows PCs, stated $5.8 billion in revenue, down 38% annually.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
When Darren Woods took the reigns of ExxonMobil six years ago, no one could have anticipated that the Kansas resident would soon face what Texas oil patch vets call “a whole pile of trouble.” Three years later, the oil market collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which dealt the 140-year-old oil organization its first annual upset in four decades.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
