Intel (INTC)

He has held it before but has been disappointed by the results and production delays. The market is pricing in the loss of market share to AMD. They are ingrained in the PC and server side. The stock is undervalued but he would prefer AMD.

He doesn't hold any chip makers, and he feels he has missed out. He would stay away from Intel and it has gone nowhere recently. He prefers NVIDIA or AMD.

The semis have led the rally. There's short-term risk, and Intel has been struggling lately. He'd prefer AMD and Taiwan Semi. 5G is just starting and has a lot of growth for years to come.

INTC has always been a top pick for him. They are losing the contract with Apple, because the company will begin making their own chips. It will not have a massive impact on their bottom line. They do not own INTC right now. As the earnings have been cyclical, he is waiting for a pullback. It has a bullet proof balance sheet.

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.

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)

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.
