Intel

A surprising Intel Q2 earnings beat sent Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) stock up as much as 8% in after-hours trading yesterday (Wednesday).

But a closer look showed that INTC's bottom line of $0.55 per share versus a forecast for $0.50 a share was actually the result of a quirk that few have noticed.

Here's how this key part of the Intel Q2 earnings turns a beat into a miss...

Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) stock rose as much as 4.5% Wednesday after the chipmaker's Q1 earnings showed double-digit growth in its data center business.

Intel Stock Price Hinges on Earnings Guidance for 2015 (INTC)

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Nasdaq INTC

When Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) reports earnings after the market close today (Tuesday), the company's guidance for 2015 will have the greatest impact on the Intel stock price.

While guidance is always closely watched, it will carry an unusual amount of weight for Intel earnings this time around. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker withdrew its guidance for the rest of 2015 on March 12, saying it would update its yearly forecast when it released Q1 earnings.

Still, the new guidance won't be the only earnings news that could affect the Intel stock price.

Here's what investors need to watch...

But while a merger is still a good deal for both companies, Intel does have another, almost-as-good option...
