Semiconductor manufacturer Intel Co. NASDAQ: INTC has lost its luster among investors, trading down 56.5% year-to-date (YTD). The chip giant has consecutively disappointed with its weak guidance, souring investor sentiment as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom lifted competitors like NVIDIA Co. NASDAQ: NVDA and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. NASDAQ: AMD and passed by Intel.
Qualcomm is looking at potentially taking over Intel or buying parts of its business. I believe that if this is executed strategically, it could be highly beneficial to both parties. Capital raised by Intel could be used to strengthen its position in Western foundries, improving the global economic stability in relation to the balance of manufacturing power. Consensus estimates for Intel's EPS and revenue growth show great improvement on the horizon for FY25. As a result, I expect we could see a 30%+ 12-month return from now.
