Truist Securities reaffirms Intel stock hold rating amid uncertain recovery path

Investing.com - Truist Securities maintained its Hold rating and $21.00 price target on Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), currently trading at $24.32, following a virtual meeting between the company and investors. The semiconductor giant, with a market capitalization of $106.89 billion, has seen its stock surge 22% year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data.

The research firm acknowledged Intel is making progress in its turnaround efforts but emphasized that the "road to recovery remains long & uncertain."

Truist identified four key improvement areas for Intel: culture, competitive capabilities, AI strategy, and government/ecosystem engagement, noting it was "slightly encouraged" by developments across these categories.

Despite these positive signs, the firm believes these improvements "are going to take a while" and that success for Intel "is far from certain."

Truist Securities made no changes to its financial estimates or price target for Intel, maintaining its Hold recommendation on the semiconductor company’s stock.

In other recent news, Intel Corporation has been at the center of several key developments. The company has received a significant $5.7 billion disbursement from the CHIPS Act, which is now being converted into a stake for the U.S. government in the chipmaker. This financial support follows an amended agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce, releasing Intel from previous obligations tied to federal support under the Act. Additionally, Intel has filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC to register the potential resale of shares and a warrant, which includes up to 673,839,150 shares of common stock. In leadership changes, Intel announced the resignation of Michelle Johnston Holthaus from her role as CEO of Intel Products, although she will remain in a non-executive capacity until March 2026 to assist with the transition. Moreover, Kevork Kechichian has joined Intel as the executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center Group, bringing over 30 years of industry experience. These moves are part of Intel’s strategy to bolster its core business and engineering-focused culture.
