My Thoughts 💭My Thoughts 💭

Ahhhh yesss good ol Intel. The company that blew it with share buybacks and lack in investment and had its market share stolen by TSMC!

It still blows my mind they refused a deal with Apple to make chips for the iPhone. Ansel has them in this American re industrialization portfolio because Intel is now part of national security and thus our government owns shares in the company.

So much for capitalism.

Let’s see how the fundamentals look.

At 61k sats per share ($75,335), and no dividend. The stock can only return profits to shareholders by having a massive growth strategy or with stock buybacks.

The company trades at a PE -856 which means investors are paying $856 access $1 of losses. The math on this stock is crazy. It almost doesn’t make sense but price divided by net losses gives this crazy ratio of 856!! My goodness!!

Let’s review some key fundamentals to determine if this stock is worth spending sats on.

The fundamentals of this company are bad.

The balance sheet is decent, the growth prospects are good (projected grow slower than bitcoin), and CEO getting below far compensation but that is where the good news ends!!

The company is not profitable. Billions of dollars in negative free cash flow. No dividend when they had their major growth phase with the personal computer boom.

From a Bitcoiner perspective. Paying 61k sats for one share isn’t worth it. I don’t think the government coming in and buying shares can save the fundamentals of this business.

Here is the performance according to Simply Wall Street

Terrible company!

Even with American re industrialization can the leadership team turn things around?

Other companies will bring manufacturing into USA and beat Intel in the semiconductor market.

Intel’s approach to AI seems to be meh compared to how Nvida has captured the market had a historical run up and still has great fundamentals to make the case to buy the stock today.

But don’t waste sats on this company. The fundamentals are poor.
