ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt 360° View of 70 (better than 70% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Intel are above average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with all but one indicator above average for Intel. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 91, which means that the share price of Intel is on the lower side compared with the typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is lower than for 91% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The consolidated Growth Rank has a good rank of 61, which means that the company experiences above-average growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, and invested capital growth, as well as stock returns. In addition, professional market sentiment is above average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of 53. But the company’s financing is risky with a Safety rank of 22. This means 78% of comparable companies have a safer financing structure than Intel. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 70, Intel is better positioned than 70% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. As three out of four consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Value Rank of 91), above-average growth (Growth Rank of 61), and positive market sentiment in the professional investor community (Sentiment Rank of 53), it is a solid stock investment where the risk of paying too much for the shares is limited, and disappointments are less likely, unless information not publicly available. Only the company financing structure is on the riskier side (Safety Rank of 22), but that would also mean better returns for shareholders if things work out well. Good value is sometimes an indication that the company's future is challenging. If they have been growing above average and are still a good value, it may indicate that this will not continue. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Intel is as difficult as the low price of the stock, despite good growth and positive professional investor sentiment, suggests. Since the professional community is optimistic, you might have less to worry about, and the stock is just not sufficiently visible right now, which may indicate good timing. ...read more

CONSOLIDATED RANK: VALUE	91

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 91 (better than 91% compared with alternatives) for 2023, Intel shares are significantly less expensive than comparable stocks. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, where three out of four indicators are above average for Intel. Price-to-Sales (P/S) is 54 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than for 54% of comparable companies, indicating a good value for Intel's revenue size. The same is valid for the Price-to-Book Capital ratio (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Capital Rank of 80. Finally, compared with other companies in the same industry, dividend yields of Intel are expected to be higher than for 87% of all competitors (a Dividend Yield rank of 87). The only low rank is for expected profits with a Price-to-Profit Rank of 44, indicating that the market expects the company's profit to be low despite a high dividend. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 91, is a buy recommendation based on Intel's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. The low Profit Rank could result from a one-off charge, for instance, for an accident, a legal settlement, or a restructuring project. If the company keeps its dividends high, the low expected profit may be transitory. If that is the case, the three good value ranks for Sales, Capital, and Dividends are reliable indicators for good stock price value, a low stock price. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 61 (better than 61% compared with alternatives), Intel shows an above-average growth dynamic in its industry. Investors also speak of positive momentum.

Sales Growth has a rank of 64 which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow more than 64% of its competitors. Stock Returns are also above average with a rank of 93. But Capital Growth has only a rank of 36, which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow its invested capital less than 64% of its competitors. Profit Growth is also low, with a rank of only 32, which means that, currently, professionals expect the company to grow its profits below average. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 61, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors. This is a surprising picture, as the messages from the operating growth indicators of revenues, profits, and invested capital are mixed, while stock returns are above average. It may indicate new intellectual properties, such as brand improvement or a strong market position that shows in revenues but not in the capital. The low profit-growth rate may indicate an early phase where costs are still high, and revenues don't fully cover upfront investments or fixed costs. The positive investor outlook with a 93% peer outperformance is reaffirmed in this case which may be a good sign for an investment into a well-protected high-growth company. This fact needs to be confirmed by researching the company website and press. ...read more

CONSOLIDATED RANK: SAFETY
CONSOLIDATED RANK: SAFETY	22

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 22 (better than 22% compared with alternatives), the company Intel has much riskier financing practices than comparable other companies, which means that their overall debt burden is significantly above the industry average.

The Safety Rank is based on consolidating three financing indicators, with just one indicator above average for Intel. Liquidity is at 50, meaning the company generates more profit to service its debt than 50% of its competitors. This indicates that the company is safer when it comes to debt service. But Refinancing is riskier at a rank of 19, which means that the portion of the debt that is about to be refinanced is above average. It has more debt in the refinancing stage than 81% of its competitors. Leverage is also high at a rank of 44, which means that the company has an above-average debt-to-equity ratio. It has more debt than 56% of its competitors. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Safety Rank of 22 (worse than 78% compared with alternatives), Intel has a financing structure that is significantly riskier than that of its competitors.

The good Liquidity performance of the company is an indicator that this is the case. However, if you expect an economic downturn, you may stay clear of this stock because they have an above-average debt level that needs refinancing soon. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 70 (better than 70% compared with investment alternatives), Intel (Semiconductors, USA) shares have above-average financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of Intel are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Value Rank of 91 (better than 91% of alternatives), show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 61) but are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 22), which means above-average debt burdens. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 70, is a buy recommendation based on Intel's financial characteristics. As the company Intel's key financial metrics exhibit excellent performance in two areas, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 91) and above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 61), it could be argued that the risk-taking in financing (Obermatt Safety Rank of only 22) indicates that the company is optimistic about the future and sees debt as an opportunity to boost returns. More debt means more shareholder returns if everything goes well. However, higher debt burdens are risky when interest rates rise or the business deteriorates in a crisis. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase. ...read more
