What the analyst said
Loop Capital analyst Gary Mobley initiates coverage on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) with a Hold rating, PT $25.
“We are initiating coverage on Intel Corp (INTC) with a HOLD rating and $25 price target. It is difficult for us to be more constructive with our rating and PT for Intel.
The catch-22 situation for Intel Corp is obvious: TSMC’s advanced-node manufacturing is better, and for Intel Products to become more competitive with AMD, NVIDIA and the Arm community, TSMC is the obvious manufacturing partner for Intel Products’ future compute tiles.
However, if Intel Foundry cannot rely on the volume from Intel Products, the company as a whole will struggle to cover fixed costs.
Additionally, with seemingly limited options to detach, or de-consolidate, Intel Foundry, the Foundry business may be a headwind for Intel Products.
Should the Intel Corp story shift away from “Foundry 2.0”, or detaches Foundry from Intel Corp, we may become more constructive with our rating.”
