Intel drops 9% as chipmaker's foundry business axes projects, struggles to find customers
Intel's stock dropped 9% after the chipmaker said it would slash foundry costs in its latest attempt to turnaround its struggling business. Concerns about where that leaves Intel's chip manufacturing business overshadowed a better-than-expected earnings report late Wednesday. Intel beat on revenue and issued a sales forecast for the third quarter that also topped estimates. The company reported adjusted earnings of 10 cents per share, topping the average analyst estimate of a penny, according to LSEG. CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who was appointed to the job in March, wrote in a memo to employees that the company's forthcoming chip manufacturing process, called 14A, will be built out based on confirmed customer commitments and that there will be "no more blank checks." In a filing with the SEC on Thursday, Intel said it may "pause or discontinue" its foundry business entirely if it could not secure a customer on its next technology cycle. "We have been unsuccessful to date in securing any significant external foundry customers for any of our nodes and our prospects for securing a significant external foundry customer for Intel 14A are uncertain," the company said in the filing. Intel's drop on Friday wiped out most of its rally for the year. The shares lost 60% of their value in 2024, their worst year on record. The slump reflected Intel's inability to make much headway in the artificial intelligence market, which is dominated by Nvidia, as well as skepticism surrounding its foundry bet. The company said it's axing chip facility projects in Germany and Poland and slowing production at its Ohio plant. Intel depends on a large customer for its foundry business to succeed. "Management wants external customer commitments to pursue the node, but in the meantime, this adds more uncertainty to product roadmaps and makes customer adoption more unlikely," analysts at Barclays, who have the equivalent of a hold rating on the stock, wrote in a note to clients. Tan, who replaced Pat Gelsinger as CEO, said in the memo that his first few months at the helm of the company have "not been easy. Intel has gone through with most of its layoff plans, which will result in eliminating 15% of its workforce and finishing the year with 75,000 employees. "Over the past several years, the company invested too much, too soon – without adequate demand," Tan wrote. "In the process, our factory footprint became needlessly fragmented and underutilized," he added Intel's net loss widened to $2.9 billion, or 67 cents per share, from $1.61 billion, or 38 cents in the year-ago period. The company recorded an $800 million impairment charge, "related to excess tools with no identified re-use." Analysts at JPMorgan Chase called Intel's foundry decision a "positive step," although ongoing market share losses remain a concern.

Intel plans to shed thousands of workers
Intel Corp. is shedding thousands of workers and cutting expenses as its new CEO works to revive the fortunes of the struggling chipmaker that helped launch Silicon Valley but has fallen behind rivals like Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. In a memo to employees Thursday, CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the Santa Clara, Calif. company plans to end the year with 75,000 'core' workers excluding subsidiaries, through layoffs and attrition. That's down from 99,500 core employees at the end of last year. The company previously announced a 15% workforce reduction. 'I know the past few months have not been easy. We are making hard but necessary decisions to streamline the organization, drive greater efficiency and increase accountability at every level of the company,' Tan wrote. In addition, Intel will scrap previously planned projects in Germany and Poland and also move assembly and test operations in Costa Rica to larger sites in Vietnam and Malaysia. Costa Rica will remain a 'home to key engineering teams and corporate functions,' Tan said in the memo. In the U.S., the company said it will 'further' slow construction of a semiconductor plant in Ohio. Founded in 1968 at the start of the PC revolution, Intel missed the technological shift to mobile computing triggered by Apple's 2007 release of the iPhone, and it's lagged more nimble chipmakers. Intel's troubles have been magnified since the advent of artificial intelligence — a booming field where the chips made by once-smaller rival Nvidia have become tech's hottest commodity. The Santa Clara, California-based company's market cap was $98.71 billion as of the market close on Thursday, compared with Nvidia's $4.24 trillion. Tan said Intel is focusing on its 'core product portfolio' and artificial intelligence offerings to better serve customers. 'There are no more blank checks,' Tan wrote. 'Every investment must make economic sense.' For the second quarter, Intel reported a loss of $2.9 billion, or 67 cents per share, down from a loss of $1.6 billion, or 38 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, the company posted a loss of 10 cents a share. Revenue was flat at $12.9 billion. Analysts, on average, were expecting adjusted earnings of 1 cent per share on revenue of $12 billion, according to a poll by FactSet. Ortutay writes for the Associated Press.
