This summary was created by AI, based on 30 opinions in the last 12 months.

Intel has seen a significant turnaround since the new CEO took over, with shares rallying 321% over the past year and strong earnings surprises reported. The company's high-end CPUs are critical for data centers, and despite facing supply constraints, demand remains robust. Analysts express mixed opinions, noting its essential role in national strategic interests and government support, while also highlighting challenges such as heavy competition and high valuations. Despite these concerns, many investors maintain a cautious optimism regarding Intel's future performance, driven by strategic government partnerships and a belief in the CEO's capability to steer the company back to growth.

TSM
COMMENT
They report Thursday. Not sure if they can deliver a lift in shares. Instead, stay long in AMD and Nvidia.
DON'T BUY
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.
BUY
It's done reasonable well. Similar sentiment with AMD. Semis will do well, but will face stiff competition from Taiwan Semiconductor. Growth lies ahead under a new CEO.
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.

TOP 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)
DON'T BUY

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

(A Top Pick Aug 19/20, Up 14%) Interesting this year and next. Revealed an aggressive new road map that promises significant performance up till 2025. Road map would let INTC leapfrog over TSM, but it's all about the execution. Strong executive and leadership. Price target of $64.

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.
DON'T BUY

A great time for chip companies because there is a shortage. Intel has missed the next gen move in chips and is playing catch up. Much of their production is in the US and not in China, which is a plus. Owns others like NXPI.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Their struggles over the last two years are well publicized, and are priced into the stock. The price they paid for GlobalFoundries is a concern, but more dangerous is management doing nothing as the walls close in. So, it's good they have a clear, cohesive strategy; they are dealing with chip shortages by dealing with it in-house.
WEAK BUY
Lots of promise, but fallen on hard times. Behind in technology. They're spending billions a year on R&D. Mistake to write them off. 12x earnings, so not a bad choice. 75B a year in revenue. Exciting opportunities. Could own as part of a broader portfolio.
WEAK BUY

A laggard. New management. Lost market to AMD. Valuations support a chance for a turnaround. He'd be OK owning it, but see his Top Picks today for a way to mitigate risk.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
They report Thursday. It's now led by a new CEO who's doing a terrific job inspiring people inside and outside the company. If the stock falls, buy. The CEO can turn the company around on a dime, but will turn it.
DON'T BUY

INTC vs. AMD vs. NVDA AMD is taking market share from Intel, and its earnings growth is superior to Intel. Intel is in the midst of restructuring. Ongoing chip shortage, but this is a cyclical industry. Of the three, Nvidia has the most attractive long-term growth platform, but its valuation is very high. She's going to keep watching NVDA for an attractive entry point.

BUY
Has been a long suffering value stock. Tech 1.0. Has been surprised by other faster growth tech companies. Fits in the value bucket. One of the top cheapest stocks in the S&P 500. Strong ROE at 25%, 8x enterprise value, 14x price to earnings. Balance sheet is clean. Small yield with good payout ratio. Starting to see activists pushing changes in the company. Will add more if the price momentum continues.
