Intel gave a lackluster forecast for the current quarter after manufacturing problems hampered a comeback bid, a disappointment for investors who anticipated more of a boost from new products.First-quarter revenue will be $11.7 billion to $12.7 billion, the company said in a statement Thursday. The midpoint of that range fell short of the $12.6 billion estimated by analysts. The company expects to break even in earnings per share, excluding certain items. Wall Street had projected a profit of 8 cents a share. Intel is struggling with its manufacturing yields — the percentage of usable chips coming out of its factories — making it harder to fill orders. The once-dominant semiconductor company has spent years trying to restore its technological edge and recover from market share losses, and this is one more setback. Intel shares fell about 5% in extended trading Thursday following the report.
