This summary was created by AI, based on 28 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 24/20, Up 23.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with INTC has achieved our $58 objective. To be disciplined, we recommend covering 50% of the position. We would also recommend trailing up the stop to $47 -- right around the initial suggested entry level.
WATCH

Stock's responding to news of new CEO. But, stock has underperformed. Manufacturing challenges, increased competition. Revenue growth seems flat. He owns Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor, so you could look at those.

HOLD
Their largest segment is with PC. They have been left behind as more and more usage has shifted to smartphones and away from their strong hold PC segment. There were also problems with the manufacturing side that has caused headwinds for the company. There was an activist that has come in recently to put pressure for change. Short-term, there could be some improvements. If you own it, hold it since they have some space to maneuver. Re-evaluate in 6 months.
WEAK BUY

His preferences are Qualcomm and Broadcom. Demand for chips and technology will continue to be strong. Intel will continue to do well, as well as the sector. You won't do badly owning this, but the other names might do better.

DON'T BUY

Has lost its dominance. A difficult stock to own. He prefers other names such as AMD. Manufacturing is just not good enough compared to the competition.

TOP PICK

It has stumbled this year--and that's why he loves it. Product launches stumbled, too slow. Also Apple and Amazon are talking about making their own chips. However, Intel remains the biggest chipmaker in the world. It trades at 10x earnings, 3% dividend yield, and offers a massive free cash flow and valuation is so low. Intel will move to a hybrid model when they will no longer manufacture everything. This will free up some cash for buybacks. (Analysts’ price target is $53.49)

DON'T BUY
Is really a PC and server company that's trying to succeed in self-driving, which is tougher business and very different from peers in smartphone chipmaking.
DON'T BUY

We have seen AMD-Q get more competitive and gain more market share. AAPL-Q has brought Mac-book chips in-house. This is not really a growth technology any more.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Fresh buying by a key investment fund and a re-iterated buy with a $60 price target by another is bringing INTC back into favour. With a PE of only 9x, compared to the sector average of 71x, it is good value now. Another catalyst is the announcement that Dish Network will use their products for their 5G roll out. It pays a good dividend, backed by a 25% payout ratio. We would buy this with a $40 stop-loss, looking to achieve $58 – 24% upside. Yield 2.91% (Analysts’ price target is $57.83)

DON'T BUY

The issues is that the market has been challenging for them. Their recent results were horrendous. Data centres are not doing well, and this was their bright spot. AMD reported great numbers, so it is the company that is not preforming. AMD is also ahead of Intel for technology and they will probably erode marketshare from Intel.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We are looking for an opportunity to purchase INTC a little cheaper than at current levels. Slow downs in government spending hurt their recent revenue report and analysts are downgrading the stock presently as a result. We look to buy this just under $40, looking for upside back towards $58 (45% upside), when expected sales return. Yield 2.83% (Analysts’ price target is $58.26)
DON'T BUY

It is a value trap and Intel has been a serial disappointer. The report from last night stated their data centre business continues to deteriorate. They are getting beaten by their competitor, notably AMD. Stay clear of Intel.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/19, Up 1%) They have great earnings but are delaying a chip for 6 months so investors brutalized the stock after that announcement. It has bounced back.
TOP PICK

It was a monopoly and almost still is. AAPL-Q is now producing their own chips. He has a model price of $93.18 or an 83% upside. It looks great. (Analysts’ price target is $56.87)
