Although year-over-year results show a decline here and there (for example, fourth-quarter revenue decreased about 1% from the fourth quarter of the previous year), full-year sales of $ 77.9 billion were up 8% from the previous year. . The gross margin, which shows the efficiency of production and service processes, has decreased somewhat (from 58.6% to 56%), which is largely due to various production problems. In any case, the board decided to increase dividends by 5% annually, so from now on, Intel’s share could bring in $ 1.39 a year for its owner.
