Apple’s Guidance Underwhelms

/ / Technology /

Apple posted revenue ahead of expectations for the October-to-December quarter, but guidance for the iPhone maker’s fiscal second quarter is underwhelming, J.P. Morgan analysts write in a note to investors. For the current March quarter, Apple expects total revenue and iPhone sales to be flat on year, excluding about $5 billion in sales in the January-to-March period last year due to pent-up demand. The adjustments implies total revenue guidance of roughly $90 billion and iPhone sales of about $46 billion, both below J.P. Morgan’s $95.6 billion and $49.4 billion forecasts, the analysts note. Apple shares are down more than 2% pre-market.

By Adam Clark Nvidia shares were heading for new highs on Friday as earnings reports from Meta Platforms and Amazon.com boosted the technology sector. Results from the major tech companies demonstrated their commitment to investment in artificial-intelligence technology, backed by Nvidia’s hardware. Nvidia shares were up 1.4% in premarket trading at $639.23. The stock closed up 2.4% at $630.27 on Thursday, a record closing high. Meta said it expects its full-year 2024 capital expenditure to be in the range of $30 billion to $37 billion. That’s up from prior guidance of $30 billion to $35 billion given three months ago. “Meta’s commitment to AI, which is evident in its recently announced substantial investment plan, includes billions in Nvidia chips to build a strong compute infrastructure for AI development,” said Mayuranki De, a research analyst at exchange-traded fund provider Global X. Amazon wasn’t as specific with its own guidance but it

Intel to Delay $20 Billion Chip Manufacturing Project in Ohio

/ / Technology /

Intel (INTC) is planning to delay the construction of its $20 billion chip-manufacturing project in Ohio over market challenges and a slow rollout of US government support for the industry, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. Construction of the project’s manufacturing facilities is not expected to be completed until 2026, pushing back Intel’s original target of beginning production in 2025, the report said. “Managing large-scale projects, especially in our industry often involves adapting to changing timelines,” an Intel spokesman reportedly told the Journal. The spokesman declined to give a new timeline for the project, the report said. Intel did not immediately respond to MT Newswires’ request for comment.

/ / Technology /

Oppenheimer raised its price target on Meta Platforms (META) to $525 from $385 following Q4 earnings beat and better-than-expected guidance, driven by broad-based advertiser demand, as AI investments drive relative ad efficiency improvements. The company reported a year-over-year daily user growth acceleration to 8% across its Family of Apps, indicating Reels’ growing share of consumer time. Despite Reels not yet monetizing at the level of Feeds or Stories, ad prices saw a 2% year-over-year increase, the first positive growth since Q4/21, signaling progress towards parity. Meta Platforms has an average rating of Buy and price targets ranging from $175 to $575, according to analysts polled by Capital IQ.
