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

Intel has undergone a significant turnaround under its new CEO, with shares rallying and the company reporting impressive earnings. However, experts remain split on the stock's future, noting its high valuation compared to competitors and concerns about its ability to keep up with the rapidly evolving AI market. While some see potential in Intel's U.S.-based manufacturing and government support, others highlight its reliance on favorable market conditions and competition from stronger players like Nvidia. The company has shown positive revenue changes recently, but experts caution about potential pullbacks and execution challenges moving forward.

DON'T BUY

Intel has fallen so far behind TSM that it's hard to attract and maintain to talent, creating a negative cycle and continuous decline. He doesn't mind Washington have some stake in Intel, but Intel has so many issues. TSM and NVDA remain the top companies in chips.

DON'T BUY

The foundry was ill-advised and the old CEO was overspending. The new CEO is better, and better understands foundries. That said, it's still early to invest in this.

DON'T BUY

Struggled for a long time. Could be putting in a bottom. The play to be in if we repatriate chips to NA. Decent dividend. You don't look for value in the chip sector. There are better value names, and better growth names, so why own this one.

DON'T BUY

They keep missing the mark, keep lagging in this space. Are unlikely to recover. The C-suite has been a revolving door.

HOLD

At this point, hang on. Management turnover, concerns they're lagging in technology, not positioned to benefit from huge growth in AI. Earnings expected to grow nicely over the next few years. Valuation not demanding at 10x EBITDA for 2025.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Revolving door of CEOs -- hard to find someone with both business and engineering skills. If you ever see it up around $25, take a bit of profit. Or write some calls against it as it gets close if you don't want to get taken out. It will have its day, but it reminds him of IBM. Believes that with Mr. Trump on the throne, he'll protect this company pretty carefully.

DON'T BUY

Avoid. Firmly in the land of long-term turnaround, which is risky. Sold assets. Foundry business relies on government support. Design business doesn't quite fit future directions of data centres and personal computing. Look at TSM.

DON'T BUY

With so much other opportunity and greater certainty in the tech space, this name requires you to take a big leap. Just hasn't executed on delivery or timing. Technology being bought up piecemeal. C-suite revolving door.

WEAK BUY

Stock's gone nowhere for over a decade -- lost leadership on manufacturing and on design. US administrations have been pushing manufacturing back to the US, which makes INTC interesting. New, very technically capable, CEO; this is encouraging, though nothing will happen immediately.

TRADE
Take the $$ and run?

Has made no money for investors for 30 years, unless you were a trader. Loved it below $20. Trimming here ~$25. At $35, he'll trim again. If it gets above $40, he'll probably be out.

DON'T BUY

"A day late and a dollar short." Missed the boat, hard to catch up. Got into AI belatedly. Not much is happening. All the chip producers are coming down. Not even a trade anymore.

DON'T BUY

It might have been the biggest winner of the last president's chips act to stimulate U.S. semi manufacturing by getting part of a $7.86 billion grant. Will Intel get more money from Washington? Intel carries $46 billion in long-term loans, so Intel needs the money badly. It's shocking that Intel shares aren't even lower.

SELL

They missed the mobile ecosystem. ARM Holdings has killed them every since. Intel is in terminal decline, no growth and will be taken out by somebody. Maybe take your losses.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 08/24, Down 43%)

Terrible result. One out of every 20 stocks is going to hit you in the head. You want a stock like this in a non-registered account, so you can sell it for the capital loss. Market still believes in 78% EPS growth from here. He's holding.

HOLD

Might be carved up, looking for new CEO. 12-month price target of $27.50. On the foundry side, competing with TSM which has very deep pockets and a 55% market share. It's still in play, so he still owns it.
