What the analyst said
Stifel analyst Ruben Roy reiterated a Hold rating and $21 price target on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC).
“Having followed Mr.
Tan’s transformative impact on Cadence Design Systems (CDNS, $239.22, Buy) during his eleven-year tenure as CEO at that company as well as many successful outcomes related to investments across the semiconductor universe, we believe that Mr.
Tan is uniquely qualified to attempt a reboot of INTC.”
“As such, we view Mr. Tan’s appointment as a longer-term positive for INTC.
However, we continue to believe that INTC faces a lengthy period of transition as the company realigns with the evolving AI-centric opportunity set that has been accelerated in recent years.”
