I have been bullish about Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) for a long time and published several articles about the company in which I rated the stock as a “Buy” - including my last article
Intel's Downfall: Why I'm No Longer Bullish On The Once-Great Chip Giant
Summary
- I am downgrading Intel Corporation from Buy to Hold due to continued weak results, missed earnings, and a lack of clear turnaround signals.
- Intel faces declining margins, operating losses, and is losing market share to AMD and Nvidia, making a near-term recovery unlikely.
- Management's restructuring efforts, including asset sales and workforce cuts, are necessary but risk stifling future growth if overdone.
- While INTC stock appears technically supported and negativity seems priced in, uncertainty remains high, so I am holding but not adding to my position.
My analysis is focused on high-quality companies, that can outperform the market over the long-run due to a competitive advantage (economic moat) and high levels of defensibility. Focused on European and North American companies, but without constraints regarding market capitalization (from large cap to small cap companies).My academic background is in sociology and I hold a Master’s Degree in Sociology (with main emphasis on organizational and economic sociology) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and History.
