Intel (INTC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Intel's positive outlook is supported by a sequential revenue increase to $4.500 billion, reflecting a 3.4% growth quarter-over-quarter, driven by a higher mix of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wafers and stronger equipment sales. Additionally, the Intel Foundry business is experiencing growth, with an improved gross margin anticipated as the product mix shifts toward more profitable EUV wafers, aided by customers proactively hedging against potential tariffs. Furthermore, the overall recovery in buying patterns, particularly in traditional server markets, alongside favorable macroeconomic conditions and a resurgence in data-centric business demand, position Intel favorably for continued growth.
Bears say
Intel's stock faces a negative outlook primarily due to elevated valuation amidst falling revenue estimates, indicating a challenging financial future. For the first quarter of 2025, the company guided revenue to $12.2 billion, reflecting a 14.4% quarter-over-quarter decline and a 4.1% year-over-year decline, which is below internal and market expectations. Additionally, pressures on gross margin, with expectations set at 36.0%—significantly lower than the anticipated 39.3%—further highlight the financial headwinds facing the company, along with concerns over increasing competition and macroeconomic risks.
