Analysts, on average, are expecting revenue of $310.3 million, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters. That would represent about an 8 percent increase sequentially.
Altera said sales to wireline and wireless telecommunications equipment manufacturers "will likely be the largest contributor to fourth-quarter growth as demand for Chinese and Indian deployments has continued to improve."
Altera plans to report the quarter's results on Jan. 26.
Shares jumped 77 cents, or 3.7 percent, to $21.80 in after-hours trading. The stock had closed earlier up 12 cents at $21.03.
