Intel
Shares of Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) have added 29% so far in 2023 but remain down nearly 13% for the past 12 months. While Intel’s latest multiyear roadmap offered some upside, the company still has to deliver. That could be difficult given the rush of investment into AI-related graphics processors (GPUs) such as Nvidia’s. There is a good chance that server sales will suffer as Intel customers are forced to choose. And then there is more competition coming in the server market. The big question is whether Intel can be competitive in this environment.
Of 44 analysts covering the stock, just 10 have a Buy or Strong Buy rating. There are 27 Hold ratings, and the other seven analysts rate Intel at Sell or Strong Sell. At a share price of around $34.00, the stock has outrun its median price target of $32.00. At the high target of $45.00, the implied upside is about 32.4%.
