Intel's outlook for PCs shines light into gloom

Article Abstract:

Intel reported poor quarterly results on Apr 17, 2001, but sent glimmers of hope through the stock market when it announced that the worst may be over for the weak personal-computer market. Intel has beaten Wall Street estimates by posting net income of $485 million, or 7 cents a diluted share, for the quarter that ended Mar 31, 2001, compared to $2.7 billion, or 39 cents in the same period in 2000. The company believes that its PC- related business may have bottomed out and it is planning for a seasonally stronger second half for 2001.
