What the analyst said
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J.
Muse raised the price target on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) to $29 (from $22) while maintaining a Neutral rating.
“The situation at Intel is extraordinarily complex, but where there is smoke, there is typically fire, so we do believe the news reports that suggest a split of DesignCo/IFS is a done deal.
We do believe we are still very early in the process, but all signs point to the new administration pushing this ahead.
We do believe TSMC will agree to participate, but only under specific conditions that are net positive for them.”
“We believe the current Administration is worried about lack of leadership and current net leverage at Intel (have not found new CEO; negative FCF) and does not want a GM like situation to emerge for the US’ Crown Semiconductor Jewel.
Thus, we believe the probability of a separation of Intel Design-Co and Intel Foundry Services is significantly higher today, with the key question being who runs IFS.
We now agree that the most logical “manager” is TSMC.”
