Intel (INTC-Q) has seen a tumultuous journey in recent months, buoyed by a dramatic turnaround since the new CEO took charge, resulting in a significant rally in share prices. Investors express cautious optimism as the company's domestic footprint positions it favorably amid government support and reshoring trends. Despite a recent impressive quarterly performance and rising revenue, concerns over high valuations and competition remain prominent, with many experts highlighting the disconnect between current stock prices and fundamentals. While some see potential in the company's pivot to chip manufacturing for external clients, others remain skeptical about sustainability and market positioning compared to competitors like Nvidia. Overall, opinions vary but clearly indicate a mix of hope and caution regarding Intel's future prospects.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly It has been a bumpy ride down for INTC, but the current valuation marks the time to re-enter. Trading at only 6x earnings (compared to peers at 15x) and 1.1x book value, it is good value here. Although it has lost some market share to the likes of AMD, it is still the dominant provider of CPUs and well ahead in mobile and data center servers. It is deploying $2 billion to build two manufacturing plants in Ohio, as it is the best domestic beneficiary of the Biden Administration foundry subsidies. We like that the company has slowed is draw of cash reserves and is focusing on debt repayment. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 35% of cash flow. We recommend a stop loss at $21, looking to achieve $40 -- upside over 50%. Yield 5.6% (Analysts’ price target is $40.38)
DON'T BUY
All semi-makers are saying that demand is weakening. Customers were double ordering before, but there's now softness in the PC market hitting them. Semis are cyclical, so she avoids it. Don't buy now. Intel has said they would build factories to become a third-party manufacturer of semis. Wait to see if that strategy will happen.
DON'T BUY
Among the worst Dow performers in Q3 How can its cash flow pay its dividend and fund its build-out?
COMMENT
Missed the mobile computing cycle. Trying to reinvent itself. Good balance sheet, and they have plans, but they failed to execute. Needs a catalyst. Safe dividend for income, bond proxy, but look for lower levels. Yield of 5.5%.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 14/22, Down 25.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with INTC has triggered its stop $28. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.
HOLD
She's holding on. (Hitting a 52-week low today.) There is more upside with this than other stocks, so she's holding. She bets that Intel will fight back against AMD as AMD tries to gain market share, even if it takes 2-3 years.
DON'T BUY
The CEO has not lived up to expectations.
SELL
He should've sold this earlier. There's been deteroriating cash generation which will continue because keeps spending in order to for their technology to catch up with peers. They went from cash positive to negative, so the valuation isn't cheap anymore.
DON'T BUY
Chips are newly recognized are critical to business. Taiwan, the source of many chips, is vulnerable, and that has spurred production in North America. Now, there's a surplus of chips in the world following 2 years of shortages during Covid. Chip prices are falling (as at Nvidia). Intel has a long history and he prefers them overall Qualcomm. Wait a year to see how things pan out in this space.
HOLD
Believes current share price is fairly valued. Would hold shares if already own them. Company in transition of business model (losing market share). Semi-conductor business requiring lots of cash to invest in.
HOLD
Semi-conductor industry facing challenges this past year. Pandemic created higher demand than supply chain could supply. Consumers not spending as much on semi-conductor products. Will remain a strong business, but is hard to determine future of company.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The semiconductor chip space has been under pressure this year due to supply chain issues and global economic concerns. However, as the market readjusts, the demand for chips will soon resume. INTC trades at only 6x earnings and 1.6x book. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of 25% of cash flow. Its recently reported earnings support a ROE of 21%. We recommend a stop loss at $28, looking to achieve $52 -- upside over 40%. Yield 3.9% (Analysts’ price target is $51.40)
DON'T BUY
A value trap. It's been bottoming out for a long time and never found its feet. They spent $20 billion annually in R&D that hasn't paid off. Competitors are leaving them behind. He owns Qualcomm instead, because they execute well.
BUY
New CEO is both an engineer and management operator, exactly what INTC needs. Product line breadth gives it a huge advantage. Added acquisitions every year for the last 5. Free cashflow machine, very profitable. Enviable gross margins by making most of its own chips. Leader in CPUs and autonomous vehicle chips. Price target is $56.
DON'T BUY
AMD is taking it to Intel and right now the semis group is ugly.
