Should You Buy Intel Corporation (INTC) Stock Today?

The important thing to notice here is that Intel is finally making the push into mobile computing. The market has matured, some say that smartphone sales have peaked already, and Intel is not making a play for massive growth in an exploding industry anymore. Instead, the company must aim for growing market share in a commoditized market. That sounds a lot like the PC and server markets where Intel has been making hay for decades.

Let me leave you with one more chart. The panic over slow PC sales might lead you to believe that Intel’s business is falling through the floor. The reality is nowhere near a drastic plunge, though. Let’s see if these stable trends can continue in next week’s earnings report. My personal Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) shares are betting that they can.
