- Wednesday, January 9, 4:38 PM QuickLogic (QUIK) -9.1% AH after warning it expects to report Q4 revenue of $3.1M, below prior guidance of $3.4M (+/- 10%). No explanation is given for the shortfall. Bigger rival Altera (ALTR) lowered its guidance last month. Altera, Xilinx (XLNX), and Lattice Semi (LSCC) could trade lower following the warning. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Thursday, January 3, 11:32 AM Chipmakers Altera (ALTR -0.8%), Cypress (CY -0.9%), Lam Research (LRCX -1.8%), LSI (LSI -1.3%), and Volterra (VLTR -2.7%) tick lower after receiving downgrades to Equal Weight from Barclays. AMD (AMD -1.2%), which just removed the word "interim" from CFO Devinder Kumar's job title, has been downgraded to Underweight. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 4:15 PM Lattice Semi (LSCC) +2.1% AH after warning it expects Q4 revenue to fall 6%-8% Q/Q, worse than prior guidance of -2% to +2% and a consensus for flat sales. Rival Altera lowered guidance last week, something (among other things) that probably served to depress expectations. Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 4:31 PM Altera (ALTR) -2.7% AH after guiding on its mid-quarter update for an 8%-10% Q/Q drop in Q4 revenue, worse than prior guidance for a 6%-10% drop. The FPGA maker is also guiding for a 2013 gross margin of 69%-70%, in-line with the 69.3% margin Altera reported for Q3, and for 2013 R&D spending of $404M, up 12% from expected 2012 R&D spending of roughly $360M. CC at 4:45 PM ET (webcast). Xilinx (XLNX) -1.8%. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Friday, November 2, 2012, 2:13 PM Telecom equipment and chip/component names are underperforming following Alcatel-Lucent''s (ALU -9.5%) downbeat Q3 numbers, which included an 11% Q/Q and 18% Y/Y drop in Optics division revenue. CIEN -3.6%. TLAB -1.2%. FNSR -2.6%. OCLR -1.5%. APKT -2.4%. CALX -2.1%. ADTN -2.3%. ALTR -3.1%. CAVM -2.9%. Worries about telecom capex have long been running high. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 2:53 PM While Facebook leads an Internet stock rally, chip stocks have sold off over the course of the day (SOXX -1.3%). Broadcom (BRCM -2.9%) and Altera's (ALTR -8%) guidance (I, II) is taking a toll, and the Street might also be concerned about the implications of EMC and Juniper's guidance. During its earnings call, Broadcom said it expected its networking/wireline infrastructure chip sales to be weak in Q4, due to both soft enterprise and service provider spending. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 11:20 AM Though it beat Q3 estimates, Altera (ALTR -6.8%) is diving thanks to guidance for a 6%-10% Q/Q drop in Q4 revenue - the Street had been expecting a slight increase. During its earnings call, Altera partly blamed the decision of a top customer to migrate two high-volume FPGA designs (4% of Q3 revenue) to ASICs, though it also admitted it's seeing broad-based weakness. Rivals are off, as are some other chipmakers with strong telecom exposure. XLNX -1.5%. LSCC -2.1%. CAVM -3.5%. PMCS -3.2%. AMCC -3%. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 4:40 PM Altera (ALTR): Q3 EPS of $0.49 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $495M (+6% Y/Y) beats by $12M. Shares -1.3% AH. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Tech, On the Move]

- Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 4:34 PM Altera (ALTR) keeps its Q3 guidance unchanged during its mid-quarter update. Revenue is still expected to be up 2%-6% Q/Q, fueled by growing sales of chips relying on 40nm and 28nm manufacturing processes. The company's Q3 report is due on Oct. 23. Altera is unchanged AH, while rival Xilinx (XLNX) is up slightly. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 9:16 AM Xilinx (XLNX) is buying PetaLogix, a developer of software for creating embedded Linux hardware.

Intel bought embedded Linux developer Wind River in '09, while Xilinx rival Altera (ALTR) partners with third-party Linux providers. Comment! [Tech]

$ALTR fabbing at $INTC means that $XLNX will also need to move to $INTC to avoid getting left in the dust. - View all 13 replies

ephud: Goinidias - Altera must have paid quite a price for that exclusivity. -
Goinidias: Probably. I imagine intel doesn't want a price war, so putting them in position to charge a premium isn't bad for intel.
