In April, Intel already lowered its second-quarter guidance but raised its full-year guidance, making the year ‘back end loaded’ and increasing the risks that the numbers will be met.

For the second-quarter, the company sees EPS of $0.70 and revenue of $18 billion. For the year, they see EPS of $3.60 and revenue of $76 billion. Wall Street analysts are not confident about the full-year guidance, as they see EPS of $3.52 and revenue of $75.38 billion.

Intel shares are trading at a forward P/E of just 12.2x, assuming the ‘E’ (earnings) in the ratio can hold up.

The stock is down 13% year-to-date.
