Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) announced this morning that it would cut its quarterly dividend to 12.5 cents from 36.5 points, representing a reduction of 65.8%. INTC’s dividend rate is now at its lowest level in 16 years. The record date for the lowered dividend has been set to May 7, while the payday is June 1.

The announcement wasn’t all too surprising following Intel’s most recent earnings. Intel cited a commitment to a conservative capital allocation strategy that seeks to create long-term value and an uncertain macroeconomic environment.

“Prudent allocation of our owners’ capital is important to enable our IDM 2.0 strategy and sustain our momentum as we rebuild our execution engine,” said CEO Pat Gelsinger. “We remain on track to deliver five nodes in four years and continue to expand the IFS (Intel Foundry Services) customer base.”

Along with the dividend cut, the chip company reaffirmed its guidance for Q1. Revenue is expected to tally between $10.5 and $11.5 billion, while gross margin is forecasted to be 34.1% on a GAAP basis and 39% on a non-GAAP basis. Intel also forecasts unprofitability with an earnings per share loss of 15 cents on a non-GAAP basis.

With that in mind, let’s look at nine other companies that have cut their dividends this year.
