Intel stock news
Intel is coming up on its third-quarter earnings release on October 31, which happens to be Halloween. The market is hoping to get through the spookiness with adjusted earnings per share of $-0.03 next week and revenue of $13.04 billion.
Intel earned $0.41 on $14.16 billion one year ago in that third quarter.
Stifel’s Roy says that a lot will depend on whether or not Intel can execute on its 18A initiative. The 18A project is Intel Foundry’s RibbonFET transistor, which replaces its FinFET transistor with a gate-all-around (GAA) transistor model. Roy also hopes to hear about the technology roadmap for the 14A node, Intel’s platform for a high numerical value EUV foundry process.
RibbonFET from Intel's investor relations website
On Thursday, Intel discovered that the EU's Court of Justice denied a $1.2 billion antitrust case from moving forward, unusually good news for a semiconductor that has had nothing but bad news of late.
CEO Pat Gelsinger is still searching for a minority partner to take a stake in Altera, the programmable chip unit it bought in 2015. Intel values it at $17 billion, only a little higher than what it paid a decade ago, as it searches to free up capital for its large-scale pivot toward the foundry segment of the semiconductor industry.
Intel stock forecast
INTC stock has risen above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) over the past month, which is a good look for the struggling semiconductor. Now shares need to overtake resistance at $24.90. The 100-day SMA at $25.52 is just a big higher.
Everything hings on next Thursday's earnings release though, so positioning for technical reasons loses its attractiveness.
