What the analyst said

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J.

Muse reiterated a Neutral rating and $45 price target on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC).

“we added Intel as a Tactical Long on August 25th ($24.80) and would look to take profits at or near our new price target.

Thereafter, we will need to see meaningful improvement in fundamentals to drive additional upside (in our view), and we worry that this will take some time (14A foundry commitments unlikely until 2HCY26 at the earliest).

As for laterals – positive commentary on undersupply across both Server and Client CPUs is a clear positive for AMD and MU.”
