Intel: Undervalued Even Without A Turnaround
Intel's current financial performance is poor, but Q1 2025 results exceeded expectations, with revenue at $12.67 billion and a gross profit margin of 39.2%. I recommend buying Intel stock, valuing two scenarios: maintaining the vertical model and selling the foundry business, with potential values of $28 and $55 per share, respectively. Intel's strategic challenge lies in managing both design and manufacturing; selling the foundry business could simplify operations and boost profitability.
Better Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock: Nvidia vs. Intel
When it comes to investing in artificial intelligence (AI), buying shares of graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturers like Nvidia (NVDA 2.33%) and Intel (INTC 3.00%) can be a wise decision. Nearly every AI application requires these specialized chips to function, and buying stock in a GPU maker gives your portfolio direct exposure to the entire AI industry.
Intel Now A 2026 Story
Intel's turnaround under the new CEO has started, but the full recovery is expected to extend well into 2026. Q1 2025 results showed a slight revenue decline but beat estimates; however, gross margins and profits continue to struggle. INTC's divestiture of 51% of Altera aims to improve the balance sheet, despite Altera's valuation being nearly halved since its acquisition.
Intel: Unlikely To Rebound This Year
One of my main concerns is the delay of Clearwater Forest to 2026 as it removes a key catalyst for Intel's data center segment this year. I find Intel's margin pressure persistent, with 18A startup costs and Lunar Lake likely weighing for the rest of 2025. I like Intel's planned $6B OpEx cut through 2026, but I don't see it reversing the stock's decline without stronger (near-term) revenue catalysts.
