Advanced Micro's 4th-qtr earns miss forecasts
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices Inc. on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter net income that narrowly trailed forecasts and joined its larger rival Intel Corp.'s by saying that slack sales of PCs would hurt first-quarter sales.
Advanced Micro Devices (NYSEhttp://www.stock-channel.net/Board/smilies/smilewinkgrin.gifMD - news) said net income more than doubled percent to $177.9 million, or 53 cents a share, from $65.1 million, or 21 cents, a year ago. Sales rose 21 percent to to $1.18 billion.
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Advanced Micro Devices was expected to earn 55 cents a share, the consensus forecast as compiled by First Call/Thomson Financial.
In light of weak demand for personal computers and slowing worldwide economies, the chipmaker said it expects that normal seasonal weakness in first-quarter demand for PC processors coupled with the effects of excess PC inventories in distribution channels will hurt PC processor sales in the first quarter of 2001.
