The purchase of Tower was a central component of Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger’s plan to get a foothold in a faster-growing part of the semiconductor industry. Still, Gelsinger refuses to abandon the possibility of working with Tower, stating that “we will continue to look for opportunities to work together” following the breakdown of the agreement.

Dominated by Taiwanese companies, the foundry segment of the semiconductor industry is where Tower finds itself. Despite its small market share, the Israeli company has the expertise and a customer base that Intel lacks. Initially, the acquisition was expected to take 12 months to roll out, however, the failure to get Chinese approval all but buried the deal which had already encountered multiple hurdles. Intel will pay Tower a $353 million termination fee.

Revenue fell by 15% to $12.9 billion from $15.3 billion a year ago, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of declining PC sales. Intel’s data center and AI business fell 15% to $4 billion from $4.7 billion during the previous year, while its Client Computing group—the biggest business unit that concerns laptop and desktop shipments – saw a 12% slump in revenue from the previous year to $6.8 billion.

Despite the decline in revenue, Intel was able to record earnings per share of 13 cents, thereby beating a loss of 3 cents per share expected by industry analysts. The semiconductor producer has forecast earnings per share of 20 cents for the current quarter.

For the third quarter, Intel has projected an adjusted gross margin of 43%, higher than estimates of 40%. In 2024, the company expects to sell at least $1 billion worth of its AI chips.

Wall Street analysts expect Intel to report revenue of $11.1 billion, down from the $18.4 billion reported in the first quarter of 2022. This would result in adjusted losses per share of $0.15, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.87.

PC sales are expected to have dropped to $4.9 billion from $9.3 billion in Q1 of 2022, while the company’s revenue stemming from its data center and AI business is expected to have declined to $3.5 billion from $6.0 billion during the same period in the previous year.

Intel’s Executive Vice President Sandra Rivera shared that the company has already sent out samples of its Sierra Forest chip with 144 processing cores and plans to start shipping them to customers on a regular basis in 2024. Also, its Clearwater Forest processors, made with Intel’s new 18A process technology, will roll out in 2025.

The arrival of the chips earlier than experts predicted and the shift to new technology have been seen as a positive step forward by analysts. The news also got the intention of investors, who sent Intel’s stock surging after the announcement.

The company’s stock saw a 7 percent jump compared to Tuesday’s price of 29.29 and closed at $31.52 per share on Wednesday. Intel’s shares are now almost 18 percent up year to date.

Once an industry leader, Intel has lost a significant share of the market in recent years to rival AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). Some of its biggest clients, like Amazon, started making their own chips, handing an additional hit to the company’s business. By introducing advanced technology and offering its new products ahead of time, Intel now hopes to reverse its fortunes and start working its way to the top again.
