Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) stock gained Friday on reports claiming that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the struggling chipmaker</a> is an acquisition target. The stock has plunged 54% in the last 12 months.
Charlie Demerjian of SemiAccurate claimed an email about a resourceful company trying to <a href="https://www.semiaccurate.com/2025/01/17/sources-say-intel-is-an-acquisition-target/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquire Intel wholly</a>. However, the report did not disclose the name of the acquirer or the purchase consideration for Intel.
Reportedly, CFO Dave Zinsner had acknowledged the possibility of selling Intel&#8217;s factory and product development divisions. Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus became <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43004444/intel-plans-to-spin-off-5-billion-venture-capital-segment-will-remain-anchor-investor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Intel&#8217;s interim co-CEO</a> after the company fired veteran chief Pat Gelsinger as his turnaround efforts failed to impress the board.

Benzinga has reached out to Intel for comments and will update on receiving their response.
Unlike Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intel has failed to capitalize on the AI technology boom.
Intel also failed to make a mark with its AI accelerator business after the Gaudi chip lost out to competitors like Nvidia.
Intel also lost out on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42826372/intel-struggles-to-compete-with-amd-and-nvidia-in-data-centers-and-ai-chips" rel="noreferrer noopener">PC gaming market</a> to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Under Gelsinger&#8217;s supervision, Intel restructured smaller divisions over the past two years and reduced its workforce in 2024.
Intel is spinning off its Altera chip division, aiming to make it a publicly traded company. However, it continues to own Mobileye Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>), Israel&#8217;s autonomous driving firm.
In 2024, Intel also sought to transform its foundry business into an independent unit.
Also this week, Intel <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43004444" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced plans</a> to spin off Intel Capital into a standalone fund for greater independence and capital attraction.
Standalone Intel Capital will operate under a new name in late 2025, with Intel as an anchor investor.
Intel showcased&nbsp;an electric vehicle platform&nbsp;with AI and cloud tools at CES 2025, bagging&nbsp;Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), Stellantis Motorsports, and Karma Automotive as clients.
Investors can gain exposure to Intel through Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Intel Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research can be a valuable source of information for learning about a company's fundamentals. Analysts create financial models based on the fundamentals and expected future earnings of a company to arrive at a price target and recommendation for the stock.
Shares of Intel have an average 1-year price target of $22.9, representing an expected upside of 7.56%.
Because of differences in assumptions, analysts can arrive at very different price targets and recommendations. 3 analysts have bearish recommendations on Intel, while 1 analysts have bullish ratings. The street high price target from Northland Capital Markets is $28.0, while the street low from Rosenblatt is $17.0.
Price Action: Intel stock is up 8.47% to $21.35 at the last check on Friday.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of January 17, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Barclays analyst Tom O'Malley maintains Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $170 to $140.

Price Target

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Advanced Micro Devices, Lowers Price Target to $140

The U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor </a>sector is going through nail-biting times as further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42897081/nvidia-and-ai-chip-stocks-brace-for-impact-as-biden-administration-considers-new-china-export-ban-report">potential sanctions on the export of artificial intelligence chips</a> to China loom.
What Happened: Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) was recently left with a bitter taste after its big tech customers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42970112/nvidia-order-delays-and-ai-sanctions-threaten-global-sales-offer-growth-opportunity-for-us-tech-giants">deferred billions of dollars in orders</a>.
As geopolitics shakes up the industry, investors are monitoring the ramifications for exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, tied to the sector. Here are three such ETFs, among many others, that are caught in the crosshairs:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>): This ETF&#8217;s top holdings include Nvidia, Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). Each company is deeply involved in AI chip production and data center infrastructure. This makes the ETF particularly vulnerable to regulatory changes in this space.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>): This ETF boasts holdings in Nvidia, Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), and Broadcom. Potential export restrictions could disrupt these companies' revenue streams, naturally causing ripples in the ETF's performance.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>): This ETF has an equal-weighted structure that diversifies the exposure across semiconductor firms. Its significant allocations in Nvidia, AMD, and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) make it vulnerable to export restrictions.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Faces Double Whammy</h3>
The Biden administration is reportedly considering a new set of sanctions over the next few days. According to a Bloomberg report, the new sanctions may include a three-tier framework targeting AI chip exports, aiming to curb China's access to advanced technology. These restrictions could take effect before Donald Trump assumes office on Jan. 20.
Nvidia, a sector heavyweight, faces a double whammy. In addition to the potential export restrictions, Nvidia's hyperscaler customers — Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon&#8217;s (NADAQ: AMZN) AWS, Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) — recently postponed $10 billion worth of orders for its Blackwell GB200 data center racks due to overheating issues. This disruption adds to the challenges Nvidia faces, as up to 50% of its chips may be destined for markets that could fall under the new export rules, according to D.A. Davidson&#8217;s Gil Luria, as reported by Reuters.
According to Defiance ETFs CEO Sylvia Jablonski, &#8220;Geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and China, have significantly impacted the semiconductor industry. Each time we've heard a report about a potential US ban on semiconductors from the White House we've seen NVDA and all other semiconductor stocks fall.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Outlook For ETFs</h3>
While the short-term outlook for semiconductor ETFs remains uncertain, the long-term prospects offer significant opportunities. AI, quantum computing and other technological advancements are expected to drive substantial demand for advanced semiconductors. Despite geopolitical headwinds, semiconductor-focused ETFs could benefit from the ongoing innovation and market growth.
Summing up the sector's potential, Jablonski said: "Any kind of high tech, innovative trend has its risks and rewards. Investors should understand that innovation takes time, and that price action is often volatile proceeding it. However, if the innovations like AI, Quantum computing come to fruition, the opportunities for investors are endless!"

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of January 15, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Shares of chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are most likely poised for a reversal as its candlesticks show a rare pattern despite a double downgrade from HSBC on Jan. 8.
What Happened: The semiconductor stock&#8217;s candlestick chart shows a unique &#8216;Bullish Stick Sandwich&#8217; pattern, a technical trading formation suggesting a potential price reversal upwards.
This pattern typically consists of three consecutive candlesticks visually resembling a sandwich on a price chart, as highlighted in the following chart by <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="504" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013947/AMD-Candle-stick-1024x504.png" alt="" class="wp-image-733830" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013947/AMD-Candle-stick-1024x504.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013947/AMD-Candle-stick-300x148.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013947/AMD-Candle-stick-768x378.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013947/AMD-Candle-stick-1536x756.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013947/AMD-Candle-stick.png 1822w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
A bullish stock sandwich pattern emerges when a bullish candlestick is sandwiched between two bearish ones. This signals potential buying strength amidst a bearish trend.
A larger middle candle strengthens the signal, however, it could also indicate temporary buyer dominance. Confirmation of a reversal comes from subsequent bullish candlesticks, ideally breaking above the prior bearish highs.
The founder of Rock Trading Group, John, said in an <a href="https://x.com/The_RockTrading/status/1877858783415636149">X post</a>, &#8220;Call me nuts I believe $AMD could outperform $NVDA this year,&#8221; sharing the occurrence of the aforementioned pattern.

Furthermore, the technical analysis of daily moving averages shows a weaker picture of the stock.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42681797/should-you-buy-or-sell-this-nvidia-rival-analysts-weigh-in-as-technicals-signal-a-downtrend">AMD&#8217;s shares</a> closed at $116.09 apiece on Tuesday and it was below its eight-day simple moving average of $121.77 and its 20-day average of $122.83 apiece.
The 50 and 200-day simple moving averages were also above the share price at $132.86 and $151.11, respectively, suggesting a bearish trend.
On the other hand, the relative strength index of 35.51 suggested that the stock could be moderately oversold but still in the neutral zone.

Why It Matters: HSBC&#8217;s Frank Lee, downgraded the stock from &#8220;Buy&#8221; to &#8220;Reduce&#8221; last week with a 45% reduction in its share price target from $200 to $110 per share.
According to a research note, as <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/news/2650529/amd-shares-slide-as-hsbc-downgrades-stock-over-nvidia-concerns-absci-collaboration-announced">reported </a>by GuruFocus, he expects reduced demand for AMD&#8217;s MI325 GPU and supply issues with high-bandwidth memory from Samsung. Lee suggested that AMD could face a competitive disadvantage in AI rack solutions until the arrival of its MI400 series, expected in late 2025 or early 2026.
In a research note published Tuesday, Jan. 14, Loop Capital initiated coverage of AMD with a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating and a price target of $175. The firm expressed confidence in AMD&#8217;s future growth prospects, particularly in the accelerated computing market, <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/amd-initiated-with-a-buy-rating-at-loop-capital-4612142">reported </a>Investing.com.
Loop Capital highlighted AMD&#8217;s potential to gain significant market share in both the data center and PC segments. The firm believes that AMD&#8217;s stock, which has underperformed the PHLX Semiconductor Sector index in 2024, is currently undervalued compared to its competitors.
About 31 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">analysts tracked by Benzinga</a> have a consensus &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating with an average target price of $184.53 on AMD stock. Keybanc, Loop Capital, and Wells Fargo are among the three most recent analyst ratings, and their average price target stands at $163.33, implying a 41.01% upside.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="940" height="352" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013801/AMD-ANR-ANR.png" alt="" class="wp-image-733826" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013801/AMD-ANR-ANR.png 940w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013801/AMD-ANR-ANR-300x112.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15013801/AMD-ANR-ANR-768x288.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" /></a></figure>

AMD Shares Hint At A Reversal As Charts Show Bullish Stick Sandwich Following A Double Downgrade From HSBC

U.S. semiconductor trade groups have mounted strong opposition to the President Joe Biden administration&#8217;s new chip export restrictions, warning of potential market share losses to global competitors in a private letter to Biden.
What Happened: The letter Tuesday, signed by six trade organizations including the Semiconductor Industry Association and SEMI, criticized the administration&#8217;s approach to implementing stricter controls on advanced computing chips and high-bandwidth memory technology, particularly regarding sales to China, Reuters reported.
The pushback comes as the Commerce Department unveiled new regulations Monday creating a three-tier system for global chip exports. The rules require most nations to obtain licenses for building AI data centers using U.S. chips, while providing unrestricted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42967114/what-does-joe-bidens-last-minute-chip-export-restrictions-mean-for-nvidia-that-has-jensen-huang-led-ai-giant-up-in-arms">access to 18 allied countries</a>.
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which controls approximately 90% of the AI chip market, saw its shares drop 3% following the announcement. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) fell 2% in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42941939/nvidia-down-3-amd-falls-2-after-white-house-imposes-new-ai-chip-export-restrictions">response to the restrictions</a>.
"This rule threatens to derail innovation and economic growth worldwide," said Nvidia&#8217;s VP of government affairs, Ned Finkle, in a statement on Monday.
The pending regulations could particularly impact companies like Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), potentially reversing earlier interpretations that had allowed hundreds of millions in additional revenue from Chinese memory chip makers, according to the report.
&#8220;We understand that this additional rule will even more strictly control high bandwidth memory, without consideration of how such changes may impact U.S. companies or cede market share to global competitors,&#8221; the letter said.

Why It Matters: Oracle Corp. Executive Vice President Ken Glueck warned the restrictions could reduce the international chip market for U.S. companies by up to 80%, significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42941939/nvidia-down-3-amd-falls-2-after-white-house-imposes-new-ai-chip-export-restrictions">affecting the domestic cloud industry</a>.
The rules arrive amid escalating U.S.-China tensions over semiconductor technology. In December, the U.S. blacklisted 140 Chinese entities and restricted memory chip exports, prompting Beijing to implement retaliatory export <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42265847/biden-targets-china-with-new-chip-restrictions-nvidia-slides">controls on critical minerals</a>.
The regulations are set to take effect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42967114/what-does-joe-bidens-last-minute-chip-export-restrictions-mean-for-nvidia-that-has-jensen-huang-led-ai-giant-up-in-arms">after a 120-day comment period</a>, extending into the incoming President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, raising questions about their long-term implementation and effectiveness in the rapidly evolving AI chip market.
