Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

Intel gave a strong sales forecast for the current period, signaling that the struggling chipmaker is finally beginning to benefit from the giant build-out of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Revenue will be $13.8 billion to $14.8 billion in the quarter ending in June, the company said Thursday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $13 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Earnings, excluding some items, will be about 20 cents a share, compared with a Wall Street prediction of 9 cents.

The upbeat outlook suggests that Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan is making progress on a challenging comeback plan. After lining up major investments in Intel last year — helping to strengthen the company’s balance sheet — Thursday’s results suggest he’s now delivering on a promise to improve its operations. 

Intel shares rose 14% in extended trading. The stock had gained 81% this year before the results were released, closing at $66.78.

Plus - SK Hynix Inc. reported a five-fold jump in quarterly profit and reiterated plans to ratchet up its capex "significantly" this year, underscoring surging prices of memory chips that underpin global artificial intelligence development. The Korean chipmaker is riding an AI spending boom that's reshaping the memory sector and offsetting fears around supply chain disruptions stemming from war in the Middle East. The outperformance comes as investors debate whether the advent of AI is igniting a super-cycle of demand that will help SK Hynix and its rivals break a decades-old cycle of boom and bust. We heard from Tom Kang, Counterpoint Research Director. He spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi Stroud-Watts.

Daybreak Weekend: Neflix Earnings, Hungary Election, Spain Prime Minister Visits China

The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire that’s expected to halt the American-Israeli military campaign in exchange for Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump announced the agreement Tuesday on social media hours after Pakistan, a mediator in talks, implored the US leader to back off his deadline to unleash massive devastation on Iran if it did not meet his demands. The deal buys time for the two sides to reach a longer agreement to end the six-week-old war, which has killed thousands of people and sparked a global energy crisis.

Trump said he had agreed “to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” as long as Iran agrees to “the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.”
