"Investors rewarded prematurely heading into earnings on January 22, but it ended up being a disappointment. Revenue and EPS both beat consensus, but it wasn't enough to lift the mood. Revenue came in at $13.67 billion vs. the $13.39 consensus. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.15 vs. the $0.08 consensus. What disappointed the market was the Q1 guidance, with Intel expecting $11.7-12.7 billion. The midpoint of $12.2 billion came in below $12.53 billion expected."
"INTC stock ended up diving right back down after earnings and guidance came in. It simply undid its gains and is back at $48 post-market, though it could climb back above. Let's take a look at whether or not INTC stock is worth buying right now and if it can surge above $100 despite the soft guidance disappointing the market."
