Intel

This top chip company has traded sideways all year, and the recent very positive earnings report certainly has helped to lift the pall hanging over the company. Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) is a world leader in computing innovation. It designs and builds the essential technologies that serve as the foundation for the world’s computing devices. As a leader in corporate responsibility and sustainability, Intel also manufactures the world’s first commercially available “conflict-free” microprocessors. The company provides processors for all Apple personal computers.
Intel also is one of the companies regarded as having among the highest shareholder cash returns at approximately 8%, but it has lagged high-growth specialty chip stocks. Intel’s NAND flash memory business has a strong focus on enterprise opportunities. Many on Wall Street who think that the company’s new chip, which is a collaboration with Micron Technology, could be primarily In-Memory compute in servers, and its launch should coincide with Intel’s Purley platform server launch in 2016.
Intel investors receive a 3.51% dividend. The consensus price target is $36.32. Shares closed Thursday at $29.62.
