Intel Corp, bears the ticker symbol INTC. This is my second report on Intel for my Viking portfolio. I last reported on INTC last month on October 6th.

Intel is the world's largest logic chipmaker. It designs and manufactures microprocessors for the global personal computer and data center markets.

Intel pioneered the x86 architecture for microprocessors. It was the prime proponent of Moore's law for advances in semiconductor manufacturing, though the firm has recently faced manufacturing delays.

While Intel's server processor business has benefited from the shift to the cloud, the firm has also been expanding into new adjacencies as the personal computer market has stagnated. These include areas such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and automotive.

Intel has also been active on the merger and acquisitions front, acquiring Altera, Mobileye, and Habana Labs in order to bolster these efforts in non-PC arenas.

Intel Corporation has a strategic partnership with MILA to develop and apply advances in artificial intelligence methods for enhancing the search in the pharmacology sector.

Intel was incorporated in 1968 and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.


Three key data points gauge

Intel Corporation:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns


Those three basic keys best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money.


INTC Price

Intel’s price per share was $28.20 at Friday’s market close. However, in the past year, Intel’s share price fell by $22.72 or about 44.6%.

If Intel’s stock trades in the range of $15.00 to $60.00 this next year, its recent $28.20 share price might reach $33.00 by next year. My upside increase estimate of $4.80 is $0.21 below the median of one year target estimate from 32 analyst tracking Intel stock for brokers.


INTC Dividends

Intel’s most recently declared quarterly dividend of $0.365 per share equals $1.46 annually and  casts a yield of 5.18%.


INTC Returns

Adding the $1.46 annual INTC dividend to my one-year price upside estimate of $4.80 shows a $6.26 potential gross gain per share.

At Friday’s $28.20 closing price, a little under $1000 would buy 35 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, might cost us $0.29 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.29 brokerage cost from my estimated $6.26 gross gain per share results in a net gain of $5.97 X 35 shares = $208.95 for a 20.9% net gain including a 5.18% annual yield.

In a year our $1K investment in shares of Intel Corporation would generate $51.80 in cash dividends. Of course, a single share of INTC stock at Friday's $28.20 price is more than 1.75 times less than the annual dividend income from our $1000.00 investment.

So, by my dogcatcher ideal, this a good time to buy INTC shares based on their dividends for the coming year 2022-23. The dividend from $1K invested is 1.84 ties more than INTC’s single share price. Consider yourself alerted. Now might be time for Intel Corporation

All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Intel Corporation. Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its market value.
