Short Interest

More than 79.25 million Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) shares were sold short as of the most recent settlement date.

Short interest grew more than 4% during the period to total 1.7% of the company’s float.

Note that the number of shares short has topped 80 million only once since last May. As of the end of January, it would take about three days to cover all short positions.

Intel posted strong quarterly results during the period, and short sellers watched the shares climb more than 3% but give up all that gain in the last couple of days of the month.

The share price pulled back more than 2% since to $35.46 on Thursday, putting the stock into the red year to date.

Shares have changed hands between $27.68 and $38.45 apiece in the past 52 weeks.

Trade of the Day: Intel Corporation (INTC) Stock’s Earnings Dip Is an Opportunity

INTC stock took a hit in aftermarket trading

By Sam Collins

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) — Yesterday, after the close, this large-cap value stock and member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average reported earnings of 61 cents. On an adjusted basis, it earned 66 cents.

Revenue grew 7% to $14.8 billion, a small gain on earnings from FactSet’s survey of analysts that expected 65 cents on revenue of $14.81 billion.

However, despite beating quarterly estimates coupled with a positive interview of its CFO on CNBC, the stock fell in after-hours trading. The company projects second-quarter revenue to increase and earnings to improve to about 68 cents, which is slightly above analysts’ expectations. For this year Intel projects revenues of $60 billion and an adjusted EPS of $2.85.

Standard & Poor’s has an EPS estimate of $2.94 for 2018.

Although headwinds exist from an overall decline in PC sales, Intel is forecast to experience growth from within the “Internet of Things” and an expanding data center growth from its cloud investments.

The company’s plan to acquire Mobileye NV (NYSE:MBLY), a leader in the high-growth market for autonomous vehicles should offset any declines in PC chip sales. Curiously its Q1 revenue increase was helped by a slight increase in PC sales.

Technically INTC is currently consolidating in a right triangle. Yesterday’s high at $37.50 almost touched the resistance line of the triangle, and aftermarket trading reversed prices back to support at the $36 area. Closing volume was above average, and the MACD indicator is in positive territory.

Try to buy INTC at about $36 for a trade to $42 and a proposed return of over 16%.

Buy the Intel Corporation (INTC) Stock Transformation While It’s Cheap

Intel is breaking out of its mold and making INTC stock a buy

By Hilary Kramer

At current levels, Intel is trading for just 12 times forward earnings and is yielding over 3%.

While I don’t love INTC stock’s debt levels, I do love its return on equity and operating margins.

And I believe the long-term growth estimate of 8% could be modest as all the self-driving car puzzle pieces come together.

You want insanity? Intel (INTC) reported a terrific quarter, raised numbers, closing on the MobilEye (MBLY) deal early, and it's going to become a lot more like the winner stocks in the sector.

No, I am not going to rename my dog Intel after deeming him Nvidia. However, the risk/reward here's pretty darned sweet, and the price-to-earnings multiple should be higher given the Internet of Things -- not personal computers -- orientation even as it is simply incredible how much money they are still making on a market that declines very fast.

THE SEMICONDUCTOR BOOM CONTINUES

Today's chart highlights the long-term gains of an industry leader...

Longtime readers know we are always looking for big secular trends to invest in. And since the invention of the personal computer and the cellphone, the need for semiconductors has been one of the biggest...

These little devices power most of the electronics we use today. We last checked in on this trend with chipmaker Texas Instruments (TXN) and chip-equipment manufacturer Lam Research (LRCX). Today, we'll look at another chipmaker...

Intel (INTC) is a global leader in the semiconductor space. Recently, it has even expanded into the virtual-reality and self-driving car markets. The $215 billion behemoth earns huge profits – nearly $12 billion over the past three quarters.

And as demand for chips has increased, its success has grown steadily... Over the past five years, Intel's sales and profits are up about 16% and 57%, respectively.

As you can see in the chart below, shares are soaring. They're up around 130% over the past five years... And they recently hit a new multiyear high. Keep an eye on this company as the semiconductor trend marches on...

Tech giants scurry to patch chip flaws;

The Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) chip flaw reported yesterday traces back to two bugs and involves several tech giants.

The bugs, nicknamed Meltdown and Spectre, make working memory data in shared servers or individual devices vulnerable to attack. But a hacker would first need to run malicious software on the CPU of the targeted machine.

Google (GOOG, GOOGL) says Android OS users who have installed the latest security fixes don’t need to take further action.

Chrome browser users might need to take action to fix the flaws.

Cloud customers must implement the patch made available.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) told data center customers patching is underway.

The Meltdown bug is easier to patch. The Spectre flaw affects chips from Intel, AMD, and SoftBank’s ARM.

AMD fixed one of the vulnerabilities with software patches and says “there is a near zero risk” the company’s chips could suffer attacks under the other vulnerabilities.

Intel GM of data center engineering Stephen Smith said the flaws aren’t “the result of product erratum. The processors are really operating as they should operate, as they were designed to operate and validated to operate.

Intel extends losses as worries over chip security linger

(Reuters) - Intel Corp (O:INTC) shares fell as much as 5 percent on Thursday, marking their biggest one-day drop in more than a year, a day after a report said mobiles and computers using its chips were vulnerable to being hacked.

Security researchers on Wednesday disclosed a set of flaws that they said could let hackers steal sensitive information from nearly every modern computing device that uses chips from Intel, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (O:AMD) and ARM Holdings (LON:ARM).

Intel said it has started providing software and firmware updates to mitigate the security issues, which it claimed would not have any financial or market-share impact.

The chipmaker said the issue was not a design flaw, but it would require users to download a patch and update their operating system.

"We believe the impact to Intel's financials and long-term market share is minimal," Instinet analyst Romit Shah wrote in a note.

Evercore analysts agreed with Shah and said they do not expect a material impact as Intel has previously has provided patches for several bugs without causing financial repercussions.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) analysts said the concerns over the decline in performance of its chips due to the flaws were overblown.

"We see this as primarily a public relations issue, rather than a business issue," the analysts wrote in a note.

Intel shares fall as investors worry about costs of chip flaw

By Jim Finkle and Stephen Nellis

(Reuters. - Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) shares fell nearly 2 percent on Thursday as investors worried about the potential financial liability and reputational hit from recently disclosed security flaws in its widely used microprocessors.

The largest chipmaker had confirmed on Wednesday that flaws reported by researchers could allow hackers to steal sensitive information from computers, phones and other devices.

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) and other software makers have issued patches to protect against the vulnerabilities.

Intel may be on the hook for costs stemming from lawsuits claiming that the patches would slow computers and effectively force consumers to buy new hardware, and big customers will likely seek compensation from Intel for any software or hardware fixes they make, security experts said.

"The potential liability is big for Intel," said Eric Johnson, dean of Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management. "Everybody will be scrambling over the next few days to figure out just how big it is."

Intel has said that the patches for the bugs would slow its chips down somewhat but that most users will not notice.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services (AWS), the largest seller of cloud computing services, said in a statement it does not “expect meaningful performance impact for most customer workloads.”

Microsoft and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc's Google both said in statements on their websites that they expect few performance problems for most of their cloud computing customers.

But the incident is likely to spur cloud companies to press Intel for lower prices on chips in future talks, said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh, which owns shares in Intel.

“What (Intel’s cloud customers) are going to say is, ‘You wronged us, we hate you, but if we can get a discount, we’ll still buy from you,’” Forrest said.

Forrest also expects Intel will have to increase its chip development spending to focus on security.

Government agencies and security experts said they knew of no cyber attacks that had exploited the vulnerabilities.

Financial services firms were studying information on the vulnerabilities to determine how to best respond, said the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, a global industry group known as FS-ISAC that shares data on cyber threats.

Banks and other firms are trying to understand what it will cost to respond to the issue, FS-ISAC said in an emailed statement.

"In addition to the security considerations raised by this design flaw, performance degradation is expected, which could require more processing power for affected systems to compensate and maintain current baseline performance,” FS-ISAC said.

“There will need to be consideration and balance between fixing the potential security threat vs the performance and other possible impact to systems.”

Lawyers filed a lawsuit in San Jose, California, federal court on Wednesday that sought class action status and compensation for people who had bought vulnerable Intel chips or computers that came with them already installed.

Intel did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday about the lawsuit.

While more lawsuits are expected, Intel's biggest customers are likely to quietly seek compensation for any harm caused by the vulnerabilities, including costs to patch machines or replace microprocessors, Johnson said.

Legal experts said that consumers would have to prove concrete damages and harm to proceed with claims.

Intel's CEO reportedly sold shares after the company already knew about massive security flaws

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich sold off a large chunk of his stake in the company, after the chipmaker was made aware of serious security flaws, according to multiple reports

An SEC filing last November showed Krzanich sold off about 644,000 shares by exercising his options and another roughly 245,700 shares he already owned

That reduced Krzanich's total number of shares to 250,000, which is the bare minimum that an Intel CEO should own, according to The Motley Fool

by Saheli Roy Choudhury

Multiple outlets, however, have reported that Intel and other chip makers were notified of the security vulnerabilities in June.

Krzanich sold the shares in November, 2017.
