Intel Corporation (INTC)

Executive Summary

Intel Corporation is the most controversial name in the AI-platform peer group and the one that most rewards (or punishes) a clear investment view. Over the past twelve months, the stock has risen 411 percent — from a generational low near $21 in mid-2024 to $110.80 today — on a combination of CEO transition (Pat Gelsinger ousted December 2024; Lip-Bu Tan installed March 2025), strategic restructuring (the foundry-versus-products structural separation), and a series of consequential capital injections from the U.S. government, SoftBank, and Nvidia. The company nevertheless remains unprofitable on both GAAP and free-cash-flow bases, has cut and then suspended its dividend, and trades at 105x forward earnings against the most uncertain earnings path of any name in the peer group.
