UBS maintains Buy rating on Intel with raised PT to $200.

UBS Group AG, a leading Swiss financial services provider, has raised its price target for Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) to $200, maintaining its Buy rating on the stock. The move comes following Intel's strong earnings report for the second quarter, which saw revenue of $20.9 billion, a 14% year-over-year increase, and earnings per share (EPS) of $1.72, a 28.6% surprise [1].

The positive earnings report, along with Intel's strong operational efficiency and margin expansion, has led analysts to revise their price targets upwards. UBS's new price target reflects the company's expected significant growth in same-store sales and EBITDA by 2026. Additionally, the company's plans to invest heavily in its semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and expand its data center business have contributed to the upward revision [2]. Despite the positive outlook, UBS analysts acknowledge that certain AI stocks may offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. However, they maintain their Buy rating on Intel, highlighting the company's strong fundamentals and growth prospects. The stock has seen a 10% surge in its value following the Q2 earnings beat, with analysts from Guggenheim, Barclays, and Morgan Stanley raising their price targets to $190, $205, and $195, respectively [2]. As investor sentiment remains volatile, UBS Group AG's focus on technological innovation and strategic investments highlights its commitment to resilience and growth. The company's diversified portfolio and robust financial position, with USD 110 billion in current deposits and USD 105 billion in current loans, provide a solid foundation for navigating the uncertain financial landscape [1].
