WEAK BUY
They failed to control the mobile phone market as they once did in desktops, so this became dead money for a long while. It's trying to rebound by getting into the auto business. If so, shares will pop. A great company, INTC pays a good, safe dividend, and won't tumble as much in a tech sell-off. But they're not positioned in the right market now. It wouldn't hurt to own this, but it's not his first choice.

PARTIAL BUY
Has a position based on valuation and yield. 2.8% yield that is safe. Lots of room to increase that. Balance sheet is okay, good return on equity. Has been in a downtrend with weaker price momentum. Has been volatile lately and lost its leader status. Valuation is compelling.

They were the leader in chips, but have fallen behind. Taiwan Semis have made big inroads, instead. The chip business is highly politically sensitive, which helps Intel which is setting up a big chip foundry in the U.S. However, they've missed the boat in many end markets. Maybe the CEO will turn things around.

It's down 11% today. They just reported--they're overspending and killing their margins that'll hurt them into next year. He needs to reconsider Intel. Their earnings and outlook are disappointing.

Years ago, it was the darling of the chip space. They have fallen on hard times. They still do $75B in business but they cannot get traction from a growth standpoint. Greatest attribute is the cheap valuation around 12x earnings. More a value trap. It could turn itself around. There are other better opportunities.

DON'T BUY
Peaked in their relative performance with peers in 2000. Before, they were collecting a tax on computers. Ultimately, over the last 30 years, there has been a reduction in instruction set computing. Intel missed the boat on low power and mobile where the growth has been. Trying to make themselves more relevant without much success right now. Everyone is ahead of Intel in terms of nodes.

Premium contentTOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our TOP PICK with INTC looking to achieve $65 -- potential upside over 20%. Supply side issues aside, it is good value at 12x earnings and a PEG ratio of 1.5. The dividend is good and is backed by a payout ratio of 26% of cash flow. We would recommend keeping the stop loss at $47. Yield 2.57% (Analysts’ price target is $64.58)

Go to names that have more growth behind them. INTC has underperformed for quite some time. Prefers NVDA (which he owns), TSM, or even TXN, which are more on the ball, growthier, better execution. Earnings growth rate is quite weak at 4-5%. Cheap at 12-13x forward earnings, but higher yield indicates growth avenues are few. Yield is 2.5%.

PAST TOP PICK
WATCH
Had owned, took profits. Disappointed that it stuck to its knitting making chips. Losing market share. Stock's fallen and he'd take a look if it fell more, but it's a show-me story. Bought TSMC instead, the largest outsource manufacturer in the world. TSMC has much better growth.
