FindProfit's outlook looks at the following questions:

-- Are INTC's inventory problems a company-specific issue or more closely related to global demand for chips?

-- Was there anything in INTC's earnings report or on the conference call that suggested that global tech spending is waning?

-- Why are many Wall Street analysts suddenly bearish on the semiconductor space?

-- Have recent data points from the Semiconductor Industry Association been positive or negative?

-- Recent results from NVLS suggest that sales of semiconductor equipment are showing no signs of slowing down. However, recent comments from KLAC's management suggest otherwise. Who's right?

-- While a handful of smaller companies have warned on earnings, INTC met its estimates and raised its Q3 revenue guidance. And, ISIL reaffirmed its earnings outlook for Q2. What's happening in the semiconductor cycle to drive the warnings and, at the same time, the selectively upbeat tones from some companies?

-- Should investors expect more negative earnings surprises?
