Intel Q4 Numbers, Net Income Up 875 Percent
Things are looking considerably brighter considering the results posted in Q4 2008.
Despite a few minor antitrust-related hiccups along the way, Intel did well last quarter. Really well. The chip giant this week released its fourth quarter results for 2009, announcing an 875 percent jump in net revenue from the same period last year.
Intel posted revenue of $10.6 billion, up $2.3 billion and 28 percent year-over-year. Operating income was $1.5 billion, up $958 million and 62 percent year-over-year. All this amounted to a net income of $2.3 billion, an 875 percent or $2 billion increase year-over-year.
That $2.3 billion from Q4 actually accounted for a large chunk of Intel's overall net income for 2009. The company posted a 2009 net income of $4.4 billion.

... and they say that the mighty fall...
... in other news, with the successful announcement of Intel's fantastic year, their stock is down $0.53 today, gotta love those panicy americans...
Looks like thier monopolistc tactics are paying off very well.
Wonder how many people lost thier jobs from it.
looks like nobody cares
looking at the comments
This is why we need to support AMD AS LONG AS AMD does their part giving us very competitive products.
amazing, doing everything with their power to be a monopoly has done wonders for their profit margin.

We don't need to support anyone, this is not a football game, we are consumers not fans.
AMD should get their act together and make CPUs that can compete with Intel performance wise, then, they'll get all the support they need in the form of sales.
jonpaul:
Well, INTC's stock looks to be finishing the week about where it started. Which is pretty good, in comparison to most. AMD's stock is down about 5% for the week.
They are certainly reaping benefits from their monopoly and tbh, I hope their next quarter is a disaster (which isn't going to happen...), but actually me and most of the above posters are hypocrites.
After all, most of us use an Intel CPU yet disapprove of their monopolistic tactics. It's sad that we just can't avoid Intel products without shooting our PC's leg.

yeah, it's not like there are any other forces besides raw sales in this complex economic scenario. I'm sure the quality of AMDs product is all that matters. /sarcasm

Intel makes a number of high-quality products that I want. Particularly the Nehalem CPUs and X25 SSDs. I'm glad to see Intel making a profit, because I want to see them continue to make excellent products that I want in the future.
Intel is a bit like a drug dealer.
A bit shifty, debatable business practices, deals with opposition ruthlessly, provides a product that gives you a massive high, but no matter how bad it treats you, you always go back for more...
Next years new CPU is the Core iCaine...
By the way, I am a Core i7 920 owner, but my eyes are glazed over and i'm really digging this shit man!!!
Does anyone here know how to read an earnings report? They didn't have a blowout q4 2009, they had a *terrible* four quarters or so leading up to that. Just look at the earnings/share, 40 cents for a stock trading at 20 dollars a share! That's practically dot-com.
It's nice that they are profitable and growing healthily, but this is not some oh-my-god news.

Read between the lines, that's basically what Sunflier is saying.
/stop trolling.

We do understand, profits are up nearly 9-fold, but only because previous profits were so rubbish. Still, good news for investors that the company is back on the road to profitability, so share price dropped a bit but you don't see shareholders making a run on their brokers. Wait a little bit and see that share price rise and the dividends roll in.
In the immortal word of Jar Jar Binks, "Steady...Steady!!!"
This reflects having the best products.
Intel makes motherboards, ssd drives, and now has the first 32nm cpu, 32nm cpu with on die gpu.
to bad they couldn't put out a decent integrated GPU. Instead they cockblock nvidia's chipset.
I didnt know Nvidia was trying to have sex with my computer!

The p/e ratio suggests that the stock price is already wildly overvalued. Even Google, the dot-com holdout, manages a better p/e than Intel. This is really more of an 'OK maybe Intel will survive the downturn' type moment, not a 'Oh wow Intel is king of the f$@%@@ universe' moment... Lately 'beating expectations' is all it takes, apparently.

We ARE in the middle of the biggest economical crisis since the great depression, a modicum of perspective...
Intel just had a breakout Xmas quarter. Half the numbers in that article are misquoted.
Intel reported GAAP operating income of $2.5b (not $1.5b), which includes in whole a $1.25b payment to AMD. That's why their non-GAAP operating income is a record $3.7b.
Record income excluding one-time charges, record operating margins (65%), and almost record sales of $10.6b, eclipsed only by the $10.7b in Q4'07, which is excusable considering the recession, make for a stellar quarter.
joebob:
Earnings are volatile, so I don't usually place a lot of emphasis on the P/E ratio (Robert Shiller averages earnings for 10 years before computing a P/E ratio). But since you brought it up, the fourth quarter earnings for INTC were $0.40 per share, which annualizes to $1.60 per share. At the moment, the shares are trading at $20.80. That gives a P/E ratio of 13.
You'd think with all that money they could afford to lower the costs of their processors $10.. Or maybe that's why they aren't lowering prices. They know people are suckers and will buy it whether it's $190 or $200. Damn you Intel!
They pay AMD $1.25B and still make a net of $2.3B in one quarter?
I've got a love hate relationship with intel.
...sigh
ripoff prices for CPU's and people willing to be ripped off will do the bottom line good
unfortunately intel does make the best cpu's
guys... as someone with an intel proc, albeit an e5200 oc'd, I feel that if we dont support AMD, intel will drive AMD's CPU manufacturing business into the ground. I do realise that in the past the two companies have traded blows but I also feel that AMD is at a distinct disadvantage atm. (that is excluding their enterprises with gpu's of course)
If intel were to be the ONLY cpu manufacturers our next upgrades would cost significantly more, and we here in South Africa already pay about $268 (according to www.xe.com currency converters today) for a core i5 i750 when you guys pay $199 according to newegg. It may not seem like alot, but $70 is alot more for us, what being 3rd world nation and all.
Today tom's did a review of the differences between core i5, i7 c2q and Phenom 2 and I feel, that for the word processing, occasional video conversion and gaming COD 4, 5, 6 FC2, SumCom and some F4AF flying the Phenom 2 would be perfect for me. Unfortunately AMD is frightfully expensive here in SA. I'm talking $295 for an amd 965, today newegg price = $195. Im not sure why AMD is so much more, maybe a fellow zaffa could enlighten me, but nonetheless...... We are forced to go intel.
However I digress. AMD cannot die. It would be the worst thing for us as the consumer. I mean, to pay $1.3 Billion fine to AMD and still post those profits, wow.. We are all...... screwed. Medium term at least. Possible, maybe likely even long term.............
sigh.
and while on this topic I sincerely hope that Fermi can be affordable, green and give the 5 series AMD cards a run for their money, for if not, we will be facing the same situation to get affordable and decent pixel pushers. If we have to fork out heavily for CPU's and GPU's, PC gaming will lose even more ground to consoles in the invisible "pick your platform" war which seems to be in progress.

The only ground that is lost is to the high-end entheusiast. Anyone with half a brain knows they can pick up a 2 year old card for $65 that has more pixel pumping power than any console. Don't forget that the Xbox 360 is 5 years old, it may have had technological and price advantage in the first 2 years, but PC hardware has upped in power and dropped in price in that time so the price/performance ratio is now better than consoles. All it has to do is equal it in FPS and resolution and it does all the other PC stuff as a bonus and it's real easy to match them on a budget these days.
There is a old saying figures don't lye but lairs know how to figure? Is sound like Intel must keep there shareholders happy. And TMS must keep Intel happy. Most business are upside down.
