On July 19, Motley Fool Inside Value selection Intel (Nasdaq: INTC ) released Q2 2006 earnings for the period ended July 1. Here's the story ... the numbers are below.
- Sales considerably lagged estimates, thanks to a price war and aggressive competition from Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD ) . Meanwhile, per-share earnings and gross margin beat expectations, offering evidence that Intel's restructuring efforts are already having an impact.
- Nevertheless, the balance sheet worsened considerably, with skyrocketing debt, higher payables, and a plummeting cash balance due to increased investments, including a $600 million bet on WiMAX supplier Clearwire.
