Intel: No Resolution To Foundry And AI Problems

By -

Update - Oct. 23, 2025

Intel beats weak guidance and hardly grows during an AI chip boom, market cheers anyway with weak guidance for Q4. The market just seems to get dumber and dumber.

-Q3 Non-GAAP EPS of $0.23 beats by $0.22.
-Revenue of $13.7B (+3.2% Y/Y) beats by $560M.

Q4 Guidance 
Revenue guidance of $13.4B vs. consensus of $13.37B
EPS guidance of $0.08 consensus of $0.08


Original article posted on Oct. 7

  • Intel has surged despite no fundamental improvements in its foundry business or AI capabilities, making the rally appear irrational.
  • The chip company has signed deals with Nvidia and the U.S. government for cash infusions provides liquidity but do not solve the lack of HPC foundry customers or AI solutions.
  • IFS continues to report massive losses, and competitors like AMD and TSMC show no signs of meaningful collaboration with INTC on premium chips.
  • The stock is extremely expensive at over 30x '27 EPS targets, investors are advised to use the rally to exit positions as prospects remain bleak and dilution has increased.
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) continues to surge while the financial prospects of the business haven’t improved. The US government and Nvidia (NVDA) deals provide Intel with necessary cash, but the chip giant is nowhere closer to a foundry business making high-performance chips. My investment thesis is ultra Bearish on the stock, especially after this big rally and no turnaround in the business.

Stat of the Day: VXO hits 45 again

By -
Not hardly a week removed from hitting 45 on 9/18/08 and the market is back to this extreme level. Usually hitting the 40 level has historically been a huge buy signal for at least the next 4-6 months. Below are the times that 40 has been hit and only 2 times did it exceed 45 in the prior 20+ years until this month. Guess time will tell if this one leads to a huge rally. Date High 10/19/1987 152.48 8/24/1990 40.01 10/27/1997 40.04 8/27/1998 41.46 4/14/2000 41.53 3/22/2001 41.99 9/17/2001 47.7 7/11/2002 41.64 9/18/2008 45.81

Update - Feb. 28, 2025 Nextdoor reported another strong quarter.  Q4 Revenue of $65.23M (+17.4% Y/Y)  beats by $2.11M . Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, compared to a $14.0 million loss in the year-ago period, reflecting 30 percentage points of year-over-year margin improvement. The social media company guided to weak Q1 results due to going full speed ahead with the NEXT UI updates. This is great news for  investors, but the stock is down some 30% due to the markets short-term focus.  The stock trades at near cash value of $427 million.  Originally posted on Nov. 8 Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Snap: Exclusive Engagement Isn't Enough

By -
New report shows Snap has an exclusive user base. Snap must prove the business model though plenty of revenue upside exists with monetizing existing user base. Valuation is extremely stretched despite the opportunity to grow revenues due to unconstrained operating expenses. A new report backs the thesis that  Snap  ( SNAP ) has compelling user engagement that remains sticky. Unfortunately, user engagement is only one part of an investable business model that  my research  has questioned since the IPO. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: Long TWTR.
