Intel Stock Valuation: Calculated Speculation

View post on imgur.com

The key point of Intel stock valuation:

  1. Intel’s market cap is 148 Billion (end of July 2022) with 19.8 Billion earnings in 2021. It means that you need 7 years to break even. Too long for a company with no growth prospect like Intel.

  3. It is not difficult to say that we don’t recommend investing in Intel. But it doesn’t mean that the stock price will not rise in the future.

  1. We believe Intel will get benefit from a government program that plans to fund 50 billion for the chips industry.

  4. Even if Intel could beat AMD, the ARM architecture poses a threat to x86 which Intel excels in.
  5. Intel looks cheap in the short term. It has strong connections with laptop vendors, government, and technology. But in the long run, the fierce competition – internal with AMD along with external threats like Qualcomm in the form of ARM – is waiting.

Let elaborate.
