WHAT'S THE FATE OF INTEL CORPORATION STOCK?From the perspective of technical analysis, INTC is approaching a key psychological level at $19. In addition, it's in a downtrend. If the key level should hold by pushing price higher, leading to a break out of the downtrend line and closing with a strong bullish candle above the down trend line and resistance level around $22, this will indicate a strong bullish signal. Likewise, this is supported by a bullish divergence signal from the awesome oscillator. Otherwise, a failure of the psychological level of $19 may lead to price dropping further.
Furthermore, we need to look beyond technical analysis. Fundamental analysis also has some insights for our decisions.
Fundamentals for INTC established a bearish bias. The summary is as follows:
Financial Health:
• Negative EPS (-$4.47): Intel is losing money.
• High Debt ($50B): This can limit growth and increase risk.
• Declining Revenue: Sales dropped from $80B (2021) to $51B (2024).
Valuation:
• Cheap P/S (1.66x), but no P/E (due to negative earnings).
• Dividend yield (2.56%) is at risk of being cut.
Sentiment:
Stock price fell from $56 to $19.55 (65% drop). Institutional investors may be wary.
Fundamentally, INTC is weak — best suited for speculative, long-term bets (if you believe in a turnaround).
Strategy for Traders:
1. Conservative Approach:
- Wait for:
- Break out of downtrend line and resistance around $22 and positive earnings/news.
- Rising volume to confirm momentum.
- Target: $27–$30
- Stop-loss: Below $17 (apply proper risk management).
2. Aggressive Approach:
- Buy near $18–$19 with tight stop-loss ($16).
- Target resistance level at $22.
3. Avoid If:
- You’re risk-averse or prefer stable companies.
- Intel’s debt/revenue trends worsen.
Note:
- Short-Term Trade: Only if breakout confirms ($22+). High risk, but possible 20% bounce.
- Long-Term Investment: Avoid unless Intel shows profit/debt improvement.
Always use stop-losses —Intel’s fundamentals make it volatile.
