Intels profit has grown 3 percent and their revenue is up 7 percent compared to same quarter a year ago.
A good 1/3 of their assets are in property plant and equipment value. That means that the fair market value of that stuff can tank if they don't keep up the pace of growth because what if they can't sell as much of their products anymore because of a shift to other technologies?
This is for sure a move because their revenue forecasts are grim in many areas they operate in.
