Despite Intel's gains from Q4 2007, investors still hammered the company for missing analysts' estimates for the company. Intel's revenues of $10.7 billion USD and earnings per share (EPS) of 38 cents were below analysts' estimates of $10.84 billion USD and 40 cents.
Investors also weren't encouraged by Intel's Q1 2008 forecast. Intel projects that revenue for the quarter will come in at between $9.4 billion USD and $10 billion USD with gross margins coming in at 56 percent plus or minus 2 points.
Intel's stock tumbled 12 percent following the Q4 earnings report.

it may be 2 cents but in the overall picture, about $140 million shy of the target

Its strange how things like that work. I was reading a report that Vytorin is basically a worthless drug, and that patients get the same effect taking one cheaper drug that they get with the 2 drugs that make up Vytorin.

So, instead of economist downgrading the companies stock, they raised it because they have great marketing......go figure.

Shy of analysts estimates, not Intel's target. Profits were still up, a very healthy 51 percent, but just a sliver under what analysts had predicted.
