$Intel(INTC)$ isn't dragged do

$Intel(INTC)$ isn't dragged down by shorts given minimal short interest. Rather, analysts, brokers, and financial media hold biases against $Intel(INTC)$ due to its legacy status as a dominant blue-chip architect—not "trendy tech" in past decades. Now $Intel(INTC)$ operates as a high-end node manufacturer in the US, making adoption essential. Below $100 per share is severely undervalued; skip analysis until $500B market cap. Between $500B and $1.5T market cap, discussions on valuation, cash flow, or capex become meaningful. Debating fundamentals at just $200B market cap for the free world's sole high-end node tech? Unreasonable.

Intel and AMD Surge! Catch-Up Trade: Which Do You Favor?

Intel surged 7% while AMD jumped 6% after KeyBanc Capital Markets upgraded. KeyBanc set PT of $60 for Intel and $270 for AMD, arguing AI server chip capacity could be largely sold out through 2026. Intel is seen in an “expectations reset” phase, while AMD remains in a valuation-premium phase that demands earnings beats. Focus now shifts to Intel’s Jan 22 earnings and AMD’s Feb 3 report. With AI server capacity tightening, can Intel’s turnaround narrative gain real traction? At a premium valuation, can AMD deliver enough upside surprises to justify $270?
