Analyst: Intel (INTC)’s Strategy Is ‘Going to Work Out’

We recently published a list of 10 AI News You Can’t Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) stands against other AI news you can’t miss.

The AI stocks selloff that started following the launch of DeepSeek is still impacting the US markets. Aswath Damodaran, NYU Stern School of Business professor of finance, said in a recent program on CNBC that he believes innovation in AI technology like DeepSeek and new models would “commoditize” AI products and could result in lower spending.

“In my view, what it does is reduce the total size of the segment of the AI market that needs high-power chips and immense amounts of data. Whether deep seek is a fake or whether it’s going to pass by, what it opens people’s eyes to is that not all AI products and services need these incredibly powerful chips and huge amounts of data and huge data centers. You can get there with much cheaper devices. I think for many companies, when they look at the AI products and services they have to develop, they don’t need this high-powered stuff. They don’t need to spend the tens of billions of dollars up front. So, I think that’s the real worry you have to have.”

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)

Number Of Hedge Fund Investors: 83

Steven Dickens from HyperFRAME Research said during a program on Schwab Network that he believes Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is still in its early stages of chip buildup. According to Schwab Network, Dickens believes Intel is undervalued.

“I think Intel’s early in its journey with the lab. They’ve got some breakthrough wins with AWS for some of the stuff they’re doing there. 18A is coming, and what I hear about that is all positive. They’re probably going to beat TSMC to the market for that. Where we’re looking at is building out a fab facility. We’re talking about ASML machines—they’re $350 million each. So it’s a “build it and they will come” strategy. I think Pat Gelsinger was right in trying to keep IFS as part of Intel. And I think what we’re seeing is if Intel’s board is given time and we can fill the void left by Pat Gelsinger, that strategy is going to work out.”

Invesco Growth and Income Fund stated the following regarding Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:

“Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC): The chipmaker reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results as revenues declined and earnings were below expectations. Management also provided weaker guidance going forward; the stock fell on the news. We sold the position during the quarter.

The chipmaker’s quarterly earnings report was weaker than anticipated as revenues declined and earnings were below expectations. Management also provided weaker guidance going forward. Given that a potential recovery appears to be further in the future than we originally anticipated, we sold the position.”
