Intel's Massive Profits Just Aren't Enough
The following video is from Thursday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill, and analysts Bill Barker and Charly Travers, dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.
Despite Intelposting a second-quarter profit of $2 billion, the stock took a hit today after the company lowered its full-year guidance. In our lead story today, Bill and Charly discuss how Intel missed its chance at the first-mover advantage in mobile, and whether the stock looks like a buy today.
Also, our analysts look at four stocks that made big moves on Thursday's market. Higher than expected second-quarter profits drove shares of UnitedHealth to a new all-time high. Also, eBay's earnings were in line with expectations, but the outlook for the rest of the year was disappointing, and shares took a hit. Overstock.com's second-quarter profits came in seven times higher than what they were in this quarter last year. And Nokia's 2nd-quarter sales fell 24%, but analysts were expecting even worse.
Finally, Bill and Charly each pick one stock for investors that they'll be watching closely in the week ahead.
