Despite raising his estimates for Intel and boosting his price target for the shares to $35 from $31, the analyst keeps a Neutral rating on the stock.

Danely's channel checks indicate demand from the PC end market has improved due to re-stocking. He also believes Intel has won roughly 25% share of the iPhone 7 away from Qualcomm (QCOM).

Despite raising his estimates for Intel and boosting his price target for the shares to $35 from $31, the analyst keeps a Neutral rating on the stock. Danely sees the upside as being temporary and points out the Apple business likely has negative gross margins.
