It might have been the biggest winner of the last president's chips act to stimulate U.S. semi manufacturing by getting part of a $7.86 billion grant. Will Intel get more money from Washington? Intel carries $46 billion in long-term loans, so Intel needs the money badly. It's shocking that Intel shares aren't even lower.
Given the large single-day decline, we do not think so. INTC has been slow to adapt in the race to produce AI chips. While the decline is aggressive and it is also displaying general weakness in the market today, INTC did record a double miss on EPS and revenue, with the EPS miss being very significant (2c vs 10c expected). Both revenue and EPS declined year-over-year as well. The company is implementing a $10B cost-cutting plan which should help in the future but at 28.5x forward earnings, we are not as interested. There is turnaround potential eventually, but we are not sure that will happen in the near term.
