The chip giant, Intel (INTC ), pleased investors on November 19 with a bright outlook for 2016 sales. Amid a deteriorating PC market which was Intel’s backbone, this guidance shows signs of hope. The revenue for 2016 is projected to grow in the mid single digits, per management, which is in line with analysts’ expectation of 4% year-over-year growth.

As a proportion of revenues, R&D and MG&A spending are expected to decline by half a point next year. Management also provided a decent outlook for capital expenditure (up from the prior full-year 2015 capital spending guidance of over $7 billion to the latest 2016 projection of $10 billion) which added to investors’ delight.

Dividend Hike

To add to this, Intel hiked its annual cash dividend by 8 cents to $1.04 per share, reflecting an 8.3% increase from the prior dividend payout. The raised dividend will be paid in the first quarter of 2016. Intel has a consistent track of paying quarterly dividends. Its last two dividend hikes were of 6.7% and 7.1%.

Investors should note that Intel came up with impressive Q3 results in mid October having topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both lines. The company posted earnings per share of $0.64 on revenues of $14.47 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.59 and $14.23 billion, respectively.

Market Impact

Backed by double good news, Intel shares jumped 3.44% in the key trading session of November 19 on elevated volume. This was the stock’s biggest advance since early September. The smooth trading in the stock could give a boost to the semiconductor ETFs that are heavily invested in the biggest semiconductor company.

This is especially true as Intel currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and falls in the solid industry with a Zacks Industry Rank in the top 4%. The Zacks Style Score for Growth and Value were ‘B’ and ‘A’ respectively. However, the momentum was not with the stock as evident with the score of ‘D’. This suggests value in the INTC share price and the related ETFs for the coming days (read: Semiconductor ETFs Surge on Impressive Q3 Earnings)
