Intel: The AI Trade Everyone Hated Is Suddenly Working

Summary Intel has shifted from a turnaround story to a high-volatility AI infrastructure rerating, driven by renewed relevance in the AI hardware stack. Q1 2026 results showed 7% YoY revenue growth, strong Data Center and AI (DCAI) demand, higher margins, and supply-constrained upside—signaling a fundamental change in investor perception. CPU resurgence is materializing as AI infrastructure complexity grows, with Intel positioned to benefit from inference and agentic AI workloads requiring greater CPU orchestration. INTC's valuation is elevated (forward P/E ~92x), but the thesis rests on DCAI growth, advanced packaging, and foundry execution; a tranche-based entry is advised given execution risks.

Intel: Buy, Sell Or Hold After Earnings?

Summary Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, aims to flatten management, cut operational expenses, and refine AI strategy, but lacks detailed turnaround plans. Q1 results showed slight sales increase and EPS beat, but overall Intel faces margin pressures and uncertain market conditions. Intel's 2025 price target is reduced to $14.18 due to lowered EBITDA and free cash flow estimates, maintaining a hold rating. Turnaround expected by 2027; current market challenges and lack of detailed plans make Intel stock unattractive above $14.18. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Tan Brings The Knife, Intel Stock Will Bring The Gains: Reiterating Buy

Summary Intel Corporation's new CEO is not holding back on cost cuts, announcing the sale of a 51% stake in Altera to Silver Lake on Monday.

I'm more sure of this after the news on Altera and after the stock price got super discounted on tariff panic. Intel is undervalued with a market cap under $89 billion; I expect a recovery to the low $30s post-earnings, making it a strong value pick. I hereon share my sentiment on Intel and why I think the stock has upside ahead. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
