Intel to report 1Q numbers

Intel Corp. is programmed to bring back its finances on Tuesday April 14 of the first quarter. Is below a summary of opinion of analyst and developments important for the period.

OVERALL PICTURE: Santa Clara-a based Intel of the 'orders of S fell abruptly because of recession, as the computer manufacturers had consumed the existing inventory instead of a good number of purchase of new pieces. Consequently, the analysts envisage a first sinister quarter for Intel, with dramatic falls in the benefit and the sales.

Always, Intel always strongly invests in research - something that the company must make, even on to the bottom of the markets, to remain competing - and tries to find means of increasing beyond the GCV and waiters.

During last months, Intel announced plans to spend $7 billion improving its factories of the United States and for externaliser manufacture some of its pieces of atom to Asian manufacture Co. of semiconductor of Taiwan of chipmaker.

The investments of factory are a sign that the hasn of recession 't limited Intel 'need for S of sharp equipment of piece-manufacture, such as the parts relating to several million dollars of lithography which transfer the piece 'the land pattern of S to the gaufrette.

Marks of business of atom the first time that Intel gave the secrecies for one of its cores of central processing unit of treatment to a foundry, which realizes pieces for other countries. The business illustrates Intel 'desire of S to put its pieces in more devices, like the telephones and the boxes intelligent of place-top, of the sectors where the semiconductor of Taiwan has a good number of customers and expertise.

BY THE NUMBERS: The analysts voted by Thomson Reuters expect that Intel gains 2 hundreds per share out of $6.98 billion in the sales. Intel 'benefit of S.A. plunged on its lower levels since 2001, when the collapse of point-COM pulverized the expenditure of technology.

Some analysts even envisage that Intel will announce a quarterly loss. If that occurred, it would be the first time that Intel lost money since the fourth quarters of 1986, when the company always made a type of DRAM called by memory chip (dynamic random access storage), an infested industry of the exits of superabundance that Intel later left to concentrate on microprocessors.

CATCH Of ANALYST: The investors will be probably happy if Intel manages to keep its declines in conformity with Wall Street 'hopes of S, said Jim McGregor, strategist as a chief of technology for In-Stat in charge one of market research. The analysts expect strong sales of atom in what is in general one of the worst quarters for chipmakers, since the asylum of computer manufacturers 't started to build in back-with-school and the production of holidays.

If the things are at least stable with hopes, they would be, very good of sign it said. If we see some increases, I think which predict well for consumers. This consumers of exposures are been willing to spend, perhaps not on the articles big-ticket, but they are laid out to spend on the electronics, which was staples of consumption of the consumer.

Tristan Gerra, an analyst with Robert W. Baird and Co., indicated Intel probably profited in the first quarter of the computer manufacturers supplementing the level from their inventories.

Clairement mood is better than quarter it, because the things have, returned there it said. And though the visibility is short, you 'about seeing order tightening the good manners since February, thus Intel will draw benefit from that.

INVENTORY TURNOVER: Intel of the 'actions of S.A. begun 2009 above $15 with share, dropped some dollars by share, and since rebounded. The company the 'shares of S traded as high as $25.29 and as low as $12.05 during the last year.
