Intel Must Decide: Baby Or Bathwater?

Summary:

  • Intel’s stock has plummeted due to disappointing earnings, but the current low price and potential strategic moves suggest it may be a hold.
  • The company is considering selling parts of its business to focus on core operations, though this is controversial and may not be the best move.
  • Reasons to buy include the potential success of the 18A process node, compelling valuation, and promising technical outlook.
  • Despite past mistakes, Intel’s bearish sentiment may be overdone, and the stock could be at a bottoming range, warranting a hold rating.
