What the analyst said

Stifel analyst Ruben Roy reiterated a Hold rating and $24.50 price target on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC).

“NVIDIA (Buy, $176.58) and Intel announced a landmark collaboration to codevelop multiple generations of custom data center and personal computing products.

The partnership appears to be purely a product collaboration for now and centers on integrating NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and AI stack with Intel’s x86 CPU architecture, leveraging NVIDIA’s NVLink interconnect technology.

We view the collaboration positively for both Intel and NVIDIA as it brings together Intel’s longstanding expertise with the x86 compute architecture with NVIDIA’s GPU leadership.”

“We believe that the primary value for Intel lies in the ability to directly participate in higher-density rack-scale AI infrastructure, which has been lacking for the company.

As such, we view today’s announcement as a modest negative for AMD (Buy, $158.06), although timing of when the new integrated systems will reach the market remains unclear.”
