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)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 09/19, Up 7%) It’s acting well. Would continue to own it here. It’s on its way back to the $60s.
HOLD

Cheap at 10.5x PE 2020, and pays a good dividend. They beat their Q2, guiding above the street. They saw a cyclical bottom in the first half of 2019, but the China-US war has worsened since then. They're selling their modem business to Apple. An okay play for the valuation, but there's no growth to 2020. Look elsewhere for better growth. It's fine if you hold it, but don't add to it.

DON'T BUY

The competitors, like AMD-Q, have reduced gross margins. She is not stepping in because of that.

BUY

Your tech pick They're large and diversified and a leader in this space, though the fear is that AMD's faster processors will take away some market share. As a value investor, he shies away from Salesforce and Amazon, the high flyers with huge multiples. Intel pays a good dividend.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 17/18, Up 2%) He still feels it is cheap and the balance sheet is strong. He likes the dividend yield. He would still buy at this point. His model price is almost $90 -- huge upside.
WAIT

Chip space volatile, but has done well in last years. Chip cycle is tied to the economic cycle. The IBM of the chip space. Now is not the time to own the chips. Nice yield of about 2.5%.
