Technical Analysis 
Jun 15, 2026, 12:00 amThis 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.

Premium contentStockchase 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)
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.

Brian Acker, CAIt 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)
Brian Acker, CAThey missed a few of their objectives recently. They have a very difficult fight with the industry coming up. They need to move to be very competitive against NVDA-Q. There is going to be a very real battle with China over semiconductors. It will be an important and critical industry over the next few years. NVDA-Q would interest him more.
Decent dividend at 2.66%. But the dividend is not why you buy a tech company. Not expensive at 11x earnings, with a 6-7% growth rate. A share buyback will help the EPS, but doesn't help the business itself. Only a 5-10% revenue growth rate at most. Mature names tend to have slowing growth. Instead, look at names like Nvidia, AMD or TXN. Technically, below the 200 day MA, which is rolling over.
Qualcomm vs. Intel QCOM holds the patent on the entire cell phone system. They have settled suits with China and Apple and are getting big payments. The stock has moved up nicely. 5G will be a boon for them globally. QCOM will continue to rise. Intel used to be the big leader in microchips until peers have overtaken them. But Intel will catch up, and the stock is now cheaply valued and pays a decent dividend. QCOM is for growth and Intel is a turnaround story. You can buy both.

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)
