Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Trading at only 6x earnings (compared to peers at 15x) and 1.3x book value, INTC is reiterated as a TOP PICK. It is still the dominant provider of CPUs and well ahead in mobile and data center servers and is the best domestic beneficiary of the Biden Administration foundry subsidies. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 45% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop loss (from $21) to $23, looking to achieve $35 -- upside over 20%. Yield 5.1% (Analysts’ price target is $35.09)
