Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA Intel INTC-Q TRADE Mar 17, 2025

Controversial name. Rallied recently, takeover and breakup speculation. If you still own it, worth hanging on to for a potential event leading to more upside. 

Might be carved up, looking for new CEO. 12-month price target of $27.50. On the foundry side, competing with TSM which has very deep pockets and a 55% market share. It's still in play, so he still owns it.

Terrible result. One out of every 20 stocks is going to hit you in the head. You want a stock like this in a non-registered account, so you can sell it for the capital loss. Market still believes in 78% EPS growth from here. He's holding.

They missed the mobile ecosystem. ARM Holdings has killed them every since. Intel is in terminal decline, no growth and will be taken out by somebody. Maybe take your losses.

"A day late and a dollar short." Missed the boat, hard to catch up. Got into AI belatedly. Not much is happening. All the chip producers are coming down. Not even a trade anymore.

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.

Stock's gone nowhere for over a decade -- lost leadership on manufacturing and on design. US administrations have been pushing manufacturing back to the US, which makes INTC interesting. New, very technically capable, CEO; this is encouraging, though nothing will happen immediately.

With so much other opportunity and greater certainty in the tech space, this name requires you to take a big leap. Just hasn't executed on delivery or timing. Technology being bought up piecemeal. C-suite revolving door.

Avoid. Firmly in the land of long-term turnaround, which is risky. Sold assets. Foundry business relies on government support. Design business doesn't quite fit future directions of data centres and personal computing. Look at TSM.
