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.

COMMENT

AMD is the chip company that has always been the poor #2 to INTC. He would prefer INTC as it has less volatility and it holds a large cash reserve. In this environment, focusing on companies with minimal debt is important.

TOP PICK

His favorite chip stock and he owns it personally. He has a model price over $108 -- over 85% upside. He is not concerned that AAPL will not be buying their chips -- they already sell 120% of their chips. A monopoly, but no one cares. Yield 2.25% (Analysts’ price target is $64.95)

BUY
If you are a long term investor, it is more important to have a position than wait for bragging rights. He thinks it is at a sweet spot as its R&D is creating opportunities for the future. In the semi-conductor group they are in a good spot for 5G.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 14/19, Up 31%) He still loves it and would buy more. His model price is $104. A stock you will live for another day.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 22/19, Down 4%) He has been pounding the table on this one for quite some time. He still owns it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 22/19, Up 0.4%) Model price is $104.07. It could pull back to $49 in looking for support. He would buy on weakness.
DON'T BUY

He is not a big believer in INTC just yet. PCs still make up 50% of their business -- a real anchor these days. In terms of manufacturing they used to have a key advantage, but their have given up that leadership position to Taiwan Semiconductor.

BUY
The tech sector is on fire. He likes this, but it has trouble reaching $70. It's consolidating now, unlike its high-flying tech peers. Its fundamentals are good and Intel looks good for 5+ years. Too pricey for a short-term play.
DON'T BUY
He does not own this one. He owns a lot of their competition, especially in the chip manufacturing space. Those companies have been taking market share away from INTC. It is getting a little expensive at these levels as well.

TOP PICK
An entire class of equities, semi-conductors, is under pressure. I'm singling it out Intel, because it's one of the few chip (or tech) stocks that pays a decent dividend (2%). China is a major customer of these chips, and Intel (AMD, Micron et al) rode a wild rollercoaster during the U.S-China trade war. Investors who clung to those stocks were eventually rewarded with returns that beat the Nasdaq (Intel gained 32% vs. the Nasdaq's 18% in the past 18 months). Though Intel's revenue growth YOY is only 1.58%, it boasts a five-year return of 92.04%. Adopting the same long-term hold strategy, investors should be rewarded again, though they may suffer serious dips along the way. Brian Acker is a complete bull, targeting $100 for INTC-Q. However, Kim Bolton, a technology analyst, would wait until a key supply problem involving one of Intel's chips is resolved, likely this quarter.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 08/19, Up 24%) Big upside still on this one as his model price is $100. Any balance sheet engineering on behalf of the new CEO could lead to more upside quickly. Yield 2%
DON'T BUY
MSFT vs. Intel vs. Facebook Facebook has performed well, but faces long-term regulatory headwinds. They will face more scrutiny. Intel has bigger headwinds reagrding where the technology is heading with microchips. Their legacy hardware chips will be under secular pressure. Don't buy. MSFT's cloud growth is impressive and will continue (he sold his shares already), but its multiple is really high. In the next pullback, buy MSFT. MSFT wins.
WAIT
They have a few headwinds although you should never totally discredit them. They have a supply issue with one of their key chips. They need to wear off this issue and he thinks this is why their stock is dragging a bit. It should wear off in the next quarter.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 08/19, Up 17%) His model price is $95.50, or a 70% upside. It is cheap by his metrics.
COMMENT
TXN or others? He owns some semi-conductors like NVDA and XLNX. He does not own TXN. If you want yield, he would suggest INTC.
