January 13, 2009 - Mira, Portugal – SADIF Investment Analytics SA, today announced the release of a new equity research report covering Intel Corporation The report utilizes SADIF's powerful StockMarks™ stock rating system and is required reading for any current or potential Intel Corporation investor.
Report Summary: US-based computer processor company Intel Corporation has been hit harder than expected by the recession over the past year. Despite lowering sales targets in November, preliminary results released January 7th indicate that the company missed fourth quarter sales estimates, reporting a 23% decline in revenues compared to the same quarter in 2007. Intel also wrote down its investment in wireless broadband company Clearwire Corporation by USD 950M. Nevertheless, Intel is generally considered stronger than its largest competitor, Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE Symbol: AMD), owing to superior technology, lower costs and AMD’s string of losses dating back to the company’s acquisition of ATI Technologies in 2006. However, this alone does not make Intel an attractive long-term investment. In order to assess the stock’s suitability for long-term investment, we should analyze the company’s fundamentals. We can assess the company’s long-term fundamentals through the use of the StockMarks framework. Intel currently has an overall long-term investment-attractiveness rating (Total StockMark or SMT) of 40, rating below the US market average. This rating places Intel sixth when compared to nine of its peers.
The complete report breaks down the Total StockMark into its three components – Business, Management and Price, performing a thorough analysis of Intel Corporation for long-term investors.
