By

Intel was expected to earn $0.51 per share for quarter ended Jun 11. Estimates from Wall Street analysts ranged from as low as $0.49 per share to as high as $0.59 per share. Intel announced that revenue in the three months ended in June rose to $13.1 billion, yielding EPS of 59 cents per share. This is obviously at the top of where analysts had estimated! On a Non-GAAP basis, revenue was $13.1 billion, operating income was $4.2 billion, net income was $3.2 billion, and EPS was 59 cents. On a GAAP basis, the company reported second-quarter revenue of $13.0 billion, operating income of $3.9 billion, net income of $3.0 billion, and EPS of 54 cents. The company generated approximately $4.0 billion in cash from operations, paid cash dividends of $961 million, and used $2.0 billion to repurchase 93 million shares of common stock.

We achieved a significant new milestone in the second quarter, surpassing $13.0 billion in revenue for the first time, said Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO. Strong corporate demand for our most advanced technology, the surge of mobile devices and Internet traffic fueling data center growth, and the rapid rise of computing in emerging markets drove record results. Intels 23 percent revenue growth in the first half and our increasing confidence in the second half of 2011 position us to grow annual revenue in the mid-20 percent range.
