$Intel(INTC)$
Now, take Intel’s product business as a standalone company. It controls the lion’s share of the CPU market. Its CPUs are powering AI data centers where demand is skyrocketing. Revenue and earnings are growing in double digits in a market whose TAM is growing by more than 30% a year. It’s extremely profitable with great margins and should be worth over a trillion in market cap.
Put the two together, and analysts get confused. They see a giant corporation with low margins, small earnings, and debt. That’s the narrative the shorts are pushing.
That’s why once IFS kicks into high gear, we’re looking at a $2+ trillion market cap. That’s why Intel’s price is up 6X over the last year. For longs, it’s simple math: 2+2=4. The shorts are stuck with 2+2=1/2.
