Intel Corporation's stock has increased by 18.7% in the past year. This follows the appointment of new CEO Lip-Bu Tan last year.
In January, analysts issued updates on the company. UBS raised its price target for Intel to $49 from $40, maintaining a Neutral rating. The investment bank stated that Intel could benefit from supply constraints in the PC and server markets. UBS also noted potential capacity issues in early 2026, but suggested new product launches might offset these challenges.
Jefferies increased its price target to $45 from $40, keeping a Hold rating. The firm indicated that production of advanced chip technology could impact Intel's margins.
Jim Cramer commented on the CEO's role, quoting, "People are realizing that Lip-Bu Tan has turned this company around. I remember I said that instead the President was going to fire him. The President says that he has a lot of people he wants to fire. . ."
