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

Intel (INTC-Q) faces a mixed outlook among experts, highlighting both its potential for recovery and its ongoing challenges. While some analysts praise the significant turnaround under the new CEO, attributing a 321% rally in shares and robust growth in CPU demand, others express caution, emphasizing overvaluation and fierce competition, particularly from TSM and Nvidia. The recent involvement of the US government has been noted both positively and skeptically, with the consensus that this support may not address fundamental issues with the company. Challenges include execution failures, talent retention, and the inability to meet CPU demand, leading to a significant stock price fluctuation. Overall, while there are optimistic projections for its potential and a strong domestic market position, uncertainties surrounding its future performance remain prominent.

TSM
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.
DON'T BUY
They've struggled to execute recently. He needs to see results, better execution.
TOP PICK
$87.15 is his model price, nearly 70% upside. Pays a 2.5% dividend. It's a cyclical stock. He sees a lot of upside. (Analysts’ price target is $53.77)
TOP PICK

It has come under pressure as Apple is rumored to begin using their own chips. A well run company that is just getting their stride back. Yield 2.52% (Analysts’ price target is $53.77)
