This summary was created by AI, based on 29 opinions in the last 12 months.

Intel has experienced a notable turnaround under the new CEO with a significant rally of 321% in shares since their appointment. While the company has ambitious plans to strengthen its foothold in chip manufacturing, opinions on its sustainability and long-term growth prospects vary among experts. Some highlight the domestic manufacturing advantage and increasing demand for CPUs, particularly due to the rise of AI applications. However, there are concerns regarding the company's high valuation metrics compared to competitors and its ability to meet demand challenges amid an evolving semiconductor landscape. Overall, while optimism surrounding Intel's turnaround persists, caution is urged due to potential overvaluation and reliance on favorable market conditions.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 22/20, Up 13%) Sold because of INTC's change in strategy to be a manufacturer, a much tougher business. He prefers TSM.
DON'T BUY

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.

BUY
Tech Stock recommendation. He likes INTC-Q because it is trading at much less multiples than in the past. It has good long term performance potential. It came off the last few weeks.
DON'T BUY
A new CEO is rebuilding it. They will not make the playoffs this or next year. Instead, pick Nvidia or AMD.
DON'T BUY
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.
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.
