Institutional flows show increasing exposure to Intel, reinforcing a stock price INTC forecast scenario that leans toward medium-term gains supported by diversified revenue streams. Intel is still cutting costs relentlessly, aiming at non-GAAP 2025 operating costs of $17 billion and 2026 of $16 billion. Headcount is already down 15%, and additional capex productivity will come from scrubbed or delayed Germany, Poland, and Ohio fab expansion. Favourable policy measures – such as US CHIPS Act incentives, EU subsidies or tax credits – may improve Intel’s cost structure or support its expansion efforts. Tighter export controls or increased scrutiny of its global supply chain could pose additional headwinds. Analysts keeping a close eye on the stock price INTC forecast project moderate upside through Q3 2024, driven by improving gross margins and stabilized PC shipment trends. A sustained move above the 200-day moving average could accelerate institutional buying.
