Intel $INTC, is down 10% after-hours after providing weaker than expected guidance in their earnings release
The move lower has erased $20 billion in market cap in just two hours. Intel provided Q1 2024 EPS guidance of $0.13, which is well below expectations of $0.34. They are also guiding Q1 2024 revenue of $12.2B-$13.2B, below expectations of $14.2B. The question becomes if this weakness is an Intel issue or an industry-wide issue. Source: The Kobeissi Letter

Gross domestic product data showed the U.S. economy grew at a rate of 3.3% in the fourth quarter
That’s much higher than the 2% expectation from economists polled by Dow Jones, underscoring continued economic resiliency despite interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. The result, for better or worse, speak for themselves: while Q4 GDP rose by $329 billion to $27.939 trillion, a respectable if made up number, what is much more disturbing is that over the same time period, the US budget deficit rose by more than 50%, or $510 billion. And the cherry on top: the increase in public US debt in the same three month period was a stunning $834 billion, or 154% more than the increase in GDP. In other words, it now takes $1.55 in budget deficit to generate $1 of growth... and it takes over $2.50 in new debt to generate $1 of GDP growth! Source; www.zerohedge.com
