Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. posted higher-than- anticipated third-quarter profit and said sales may rise this quarter on demand for laptops, easing concern that the credit meltdown will curb orders and sending the shares higher.
Net income climbed 12 percent to $2.01 billion, or 35 cents a share, from $1.79 billion, or 30 cents, a year earlier, the Santa Clara, California-based company said today in a statement. Revenue rose 1.3 percent to $10.2 billion. Analysts had projected a profit of 34 cents on average, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, alleviated concern that the crisis hitting the world's banking system will halt demand for personal computers. Revenue from laptop processors, which sell for more than desktop chips, jumped 20 percent last quarter.
``The results were excellent,'' said Michael Shinnick, a portfolio manager at 1st Source Bank in South Bend, Indiana, which owns Intel shares. ``It should reassure people that PC demand did not fall off a cliff during the third quarter.''
Fourth-quarter sales will be $10.1 billion to $10.9 billion, Intel said. Gross margin, the percentage of sales remaining after deducting production costs, will be about 59 percent. Analysts in the Bloomberg survey had predicted sales of about $10.8 billion. Craig Berger, a New York-based analyst for Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group Inc., projected a margin of 59.3 percent.
Intel rose 72 cents, or 4.5 percent, to $16.65 in late trading
