HPQ, MU, AMD, NVDA, MLNX rise following Intel's earnings
- Intel (up 2.4% AH) beat Q2 estimates and provided better-than-expected Q3 and full-year guidance. The chip giant reported a 14% Y/Y drop in PC/mobile CPU division sales, and a 10% increase in server CPU division sales.
- Various names with PC and/or server exposure are following Intel higher. HP (NYSE:HPQ) +1.2% AH. Micron (NASDAQ:MU) +2.2%. AMD +2%. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) +1.3%. Mellanox (NASDAQ:MLNX) +1%.
- Micron fell 3.7% in regular trading, after having surged yesterday on a WSJ report about a buyout offer from China's Tsinghua Unigroup. John McCain let it be known today he isn't thrilled with the idea of a Chinese company acquiring "the last major American manufacturer of memory chips."
- AMD is 9 days removed from plunging on account of a Q2 warning. The Intel rival's Q2 report arrives tomorrow.
