Analysts Keep Hiking Intel's Revenue Forecasts and Price Targets - Is INTC Still a Buy?

Intel Corp (INTC) analysts continue to raise their revenue forecasts for 2027, with price targets also increasing. The company boasts a 9% free cash flow (FCF) margin and a 1% FCF yield, suggesting it is currently undervalued by 17%. One strategy suggested for trading INTC is to sell short out-of-the-money (OTM) cash-secured puts.

The stock closed at $103.49 on Monday, Aug. 17, after reaching its lowest point of $81.88 on July 29. Various scenarios are explored, with analyst forecasts ranging from $121.08 to $134 per share, representing a potential upside of 17% to 30% over today's market cap. Short selling INTC put options is suggested as a way to profit from the stock's volatility, as demonstrated by an example of collecting a 10.7% return over two months through a short sale of an $85.00 put option.
