BofA moves Intel bonds to Marketweight on rally after Nvidia news

Investing.com - Bank of America has downgraded its rating on several long-dated Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) bonds from Overweight to Marketweight following significant price appreciation.

The affected bonds include Intel’s 3 1/4% notes due in 2049, 3.05% notes due in 2051, 3.1% notes due in 2060, and 3.2% notes due in 2061, according to BofA’s Wednesday report.

BofA noted these bonds rallied approximately 20 basis points following the September 18 Nvidia announcement and have been strong performers year-to-date relative to the broader US Investment Grade Corporate index, as measured by ICE Data Indices.

The bank also highlighted that the 10-year to 30-year yield curve has flattened to what it considers appropriate levels at approximately 22 basis points, similar to other large technology, media, and telecommunications debt structures.

BofA maintained its Marketweight rating at the issuer level and for other Intel bonds in its coverage, stating that relative value across the yield curve appears appropriate with bonds maturing in 10 years or less trading flat-to-inside of other BBB-rated semiconductor companies.
