Shares of the world's largest chipmaker have depreciated by 2.31% over the course of the past month, underperforming the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 1.47%, and the S&P 500's gain of 0.59%.
The upcoming earnings release of Intel will be of great interest to investors. The company is predicted to post an EPS of $0.08, indicating a 38.46% decline compared to the equivalent quarter last year. Alongside, our most recent consensus estimate is anticipating revenue of $13.38 billion, indicating a 6.2% downward movement from the same quarter last year.
Regarding the entire year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates forecast earnings of $0.34 per share and revenue of $52.55 billion, indicating changes of +361.54% and 0%, respectively, compared to the previous year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for Intel. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the business outlook.
Empirical research indicates that these revisions in estimates have a direct correlation with impending stock price performance. To utilize this, we have created the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model that integrates these estimate changes and provides a functional rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), possesses a remarkable history of outdoing, externally audited, with #1 stocks returning an average annual gain of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. Right now, Intel possesses a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Investors should also note Intel's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 67.37. This represents a premium compared to its industry average Forward P/E of 30.15.
We can also see that INTC currently has a PEG ratio of 7.26. Comparable to the widely accepted P/E ratio, the PEG ratio also accounts for the company's projected earnings growth. The Semiconductor - General industry had an average PEG ratio of 3.14 as trading concluded yesterday.
The Semiconductor - General industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. At present, this industry carries a Zacks Industry Rank of 19, placing it within the top 8% of over 250 industries.
