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.

COMMENT
Inexpensive at 15x earnings, and pays a nice dividend. But Intel hasn't been at the forefront of handheld devices or servers in the cloud business; Intel hasn't transitioned strongly from the PC world. A well-run company though, but look elsewhere for faster growth.
BUY
Hit $57 again? Pick your points in taking profits, but this one could break through new highs. So, $57 is possible. And it's a long-term hold.
TOP PICK
An old-tech play that still has 71% upside. A new CEO can hopefully shake things up. A good place to hide in the semi-conductor space. You can't even see a measurable pullback in its December trading -- really stands out. Yield 2.6% (Analysts’ price target is $53.00)
SELL
There are better tech stocks like AMD which has better upside. There's lots of trading between $44-48. Take profits if you can.
HOLD
It was strong until a couple of months back. On monthly relative strength charts it looks terrible. It is at the bottom out of 18 areas he looks at. It has been really weak. We have seen a bit of a pickup in Intel recently, relative to the market. There is a wedge pattern forming. If we get a push here it will be a confirmation. If it breaks above $48 it will have a bit of ground beneath it.
DON'T BUY
It has a bit of life breathed back into it. However, it is a semiconductor company. The whole complex has rolled over. Some of the names have been hit hard. They broke on relative strength.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 17/17, Up 22%) He likes the support technically and the 2.5% dividend yield. It is not as cyclical as AMD and others in the space. His model price is $80.51.
HOLD
He recently sold out of their position based on their previous earnings, which called for reduced earnings growth. The chip space is very good. If in it, stick with it.
BUY

The chips have been creamed. We are probably close to the end of the cycle. TI as well as AMG got hit. INTC-Q had manufacturing issues with 10 nm circuits. We are in the time period when chips manufacturers can do well. We could see a run.

DON'T BUY

The chip space has been recently under pressure. The multiples are so high. He likes Microsoft and Apple in the US tech sector. This is very cyclical.

DON'T BUY

Not a fan of the chip companies, subject to commodity pricing. They have a big war chest to shift into electrification. Large caps here can’t grow business, can only take market share away. It hasn’t been doing a lot. Free cash flow and dividends are doing well, he just doesn’t like the space.

WAIT

They dominate this space, but are expanding into growthier areas. They are seeking a new CEO, so until then just wait. Need to know their strategy.

WAIT

A leader in semi-conductors. It's a value stock that investors buy when computer chip prices collapse, then Intel sweeps in to produce them at low cost and puts its competition out of business. He would look at it later in the cycle. The semis have been weak in the past 6 months due to overcapacity. He prefers Broadcom in this space.

BUY

Their problem is they guided down on margins last quarter. They’re possibly being more conservative than they need to be. Not modelling any growth for 2019 over 2018. At 12x, a quality name at with a decent dividend. Likes it. You’ll be fine longer term.

WAIT

A lot happening here in this space. Was downgraded by Raymond James. Step aside and watch this play out.
