Intel Corporation (INTC) オプション

Sorry. I checked my Merrill account to see what price I bought them at. I actually bought 5 of the the Aug 2025 strike 30's at just over $2.

I think that makes sense.

It appears several important parties are interested in Intel. And Intel has had a leading role in the past in the industry under Andy Gove few decades ago.

What strike have you chosen on your calls?

You raised my interest.

I hope your prediction turns out to be accurate!

I think more likely than a buyout to boost the stock is positive guidance at earnings Oct. 31.

I picked up several INTC OCT 2025 calls last week. I am hoping for another buyout rumor, or an actual buyout offer to drive this higher.

Intel share price in Double Top Breakout since 8-Oct-2024.

As to how long this path may help to rising share prices... only the guru(s) may have some answers.

I am hesitaiaiting, lol.

Intel share price has been on Ascending Triple Top Breakout since 25-Sep-2024.

How long Intel will be on this bullish path is the question at this time.

We shall see. GLTA

Looking really good. Glad I averaged down instead of sold $INTC

I just add and hold

The Yearly Net has come down significantly. I'll wait and see.

When I saw all the negative news on INTC under 20.00 I loaded calls for mid next year up 125% already.

The new gaming chips will be a great addition Intel!

Next will get a new likeable seasoned CEO which will be a big catalyst!

$INTC

Yeah will be regulatory issues if Qualcomm announce official takeover but I am sure their "lawyers" are working on it

Wonder if the US gov would allow it like US steel selling off to Japan?

yep we will see soon enough if it all goes through gonna be a good one.

Apollo Eyes $5 Billion Investment in Intel; TSMC and Samsung Explore UAE Chip Projects, and More

looks promising $intel

Just buy, maybe add on lows, and HOLD

Retailer are selling but institutional funds are buying

(Reuters) - Qualcomm(QCOM) has approached the once-dominant chipmaker Intel(INTC) for a potential buyout, turning the spotlight on the portfolio of products these chip companies have to offer.

A deal would unite Qualcomm's(QCOM) mobile-focused Snapdragon line with Intel's(INTC) dominant PC and server chip divisions, creating a semiconductor powerhouse.

Here are some of the areas where Qualcomm(QCOM) and Intel's(INTC) product lines would come together:

PROCESSORS

Intel (INTC) dominates the PC processor market with its Core series, which is widely used in desktops and laptops, while its Xeon series chips, designed to handle demanding workloads, are extensively used in servers and workstations.

Qualcomm (QCOM) is a leader in mobile chips, producing Snapdragon processors that are widely used in smartphones and tablets.

Intel (INTC) also produces Atom processors for low-power devices, while Qualcomm(QCOM) has been expanding into laptop processors with its own compute platforms.

MANUFACTURING

Intel (INTC) fabricates its chips in-house at company-owned facilities called "fabs," located in various parts of the world.

Qualcomm (QCOM) does not make its own processors but has partnered with contract manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co(TSM) and Samsung Foundry for chip production.

CHIP ARCHITECTURE

Intel (INTC) primarily uses the x86 computing architecture, which is standard in desktops, laptops, and servers.

Qualcomm (QCOM) relies on Arm Holdings' processor architecture, which powers smartphones and targets low power consumption. Computer code built for x86 chips will not automatically run on Arm-based designs.

Intel (INTC) has previously explored developing Arm-based chips, and software solutions are available to facilitate some compatibility between x86 and Arm architectures.

AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS

Qualcomm (QCOM) also has a growing automotive business, focusing on technologies like connected cars, infotainment systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems.

Intel's (INTC) chips are used in vehicles, powering infotainment systems, digital instrument clusters, and more. The company's advanced chips for cars support AI features like generative AI and camera systems that monitor drivers and passengers.

Intel (INTC) also owns a majority stake in Mobileye Global(MBLY) and recently confirmed that it would not divest its majority stake in the self-driving tech firm.

intc $25 calls @ .29 10/04 LFG 📈🚀🚀🚀🐺 capital QCOM /Apollo 💵💵💵💵

AVGO has money to burn, could outbid QCOM or whoever else. Maybe Jensen is thinking about it as well.

Edit: Also this news.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-22/apollo-is-said-to-offer-multibillion-dollar-investment-in-intel

would be nice but are they willing to pay double the price from here?

Acquisition -> $40-50? 🤔

the real pop will be when it actually goes through, it can easily fall apart.

This should be over 10% today. I cannot believe how the controllers of this market hold certain stuff down. Keep it low until something bad, like antitrust bs, comes out and runs it back down. It has been destroyed enough in the last 3 months!

possible if markets cooperate.

$24 EOW?

Apollo 5 billion, looks like a squeeze at some point

QCOM Take over for Intel?
$INTC

So the rumor will bring FOMO this week? Surely the news has made its rounds online. :)

Don’t forget Broadcom is considering bidding also. Who knows who else comes out the wood work with a bid also. It might get pretty crazy the next few weeks

wonder how much premium qualcomm willing to pay for intc shares

On technical front, Intel share price had an Ascending Triple Top Breakout today on 20-Sep-2024.

UPDATE 6-Qualcomm approached Intel about a takeover in recent days, WSJ reports
17:31:36 PM ET, 09/20/2024 - Reuters
(New throughout, adds background on Intel's recent challenges and steps)

Sept 20 (Reuters) -

Qualcomm made a takeover approach to chipmaker Intel in recent days, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Intel's shares closed up 3.3%, while Qualcomm fell 2.9%. Qualcomm, with a market capitalization of $188 billion, is worth about twice as much as Intel.

An acquisition would put Qualcomm, known for its cell phone chips, in charge of a storied Silicon Valley business that created the guts of the modern PC but has been struggling to make the switch to chips that support AI.

Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Qualcomm explored the possibility of acquiring portions of Intel's design business and that its PC design unit was of particular interest.

Intc wants it

~yeah I see that. Sold a little too soon maybe. Oh well on to the next.

QCOM down $5 INTC up $1.25

interesting to say the least

how likely is it? who knows

~dang I just sold these before the news!

a change in leadership would give it a boost wouldn't be surprised if they the board is looking for one.

Thanks for your informative post, friend.

Cheers & GLTY

INTC has gap down from $29 on 08/02

open after the 08/01 close...

Around $28.9 for those looking closer...

It needs to fill to help the long

term holder's positions...

https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/INTC/interactive-chart/new

Good traders can make .13/share daily

trading this so losing .13/share dividend

quarterly isn't the big hurdle...

Good for bear fodder chat though...

Added a little Wednesday after starter

nibble on Tuesday...

plenty to nibble for many...


so we watch...LJ

Intel is a great company and way undervalued. I am long too. GL

No problem for me. Not thinking of selling shares of intc soon.

Not a day trader. Not a short term speculator. That's not my span of interest at all.

GLTA whatever they're doing and make it to mostly end up in profits, at the bottom line.

Whoever is thinking in the very short term and let it impact their decision usually is not a good thing in the stock market.

Hope you're doing fine.

Cheers & GLTY

In 20.80

Day order to buy at $21.45 filled. GLTA

PS: Adding more shares in my Port today significantly reduced my average cost per share.

IMO, if the government gets involved, it is not a long bump. Good luck, though.

~bought 9/27 $27 calls @.05c

broke 22's and now see if it holds then go time.

Why do they wait until after market to release this. Just do it during market hours and stop gapping this up. They always want to close gaps. Stupid

Intel receives some much-needed good news as it reportedly wins new military contract
10:51:56 AM ET, 09/16/2024 - Briefing.com

Badly in need of a win amid a dreadful 2024 that has seen its stock plummet by about 60%, some positive news has finally emerged for beleaguered chip company Intel (INTC). Last Friday night, Bloomberg reported that INTC is in line to secure up to $3.5 bln in federal grants through The Pentagon's "Secure Enclave" initiative, which was created to help lessen the military's dependence on foreign chip manufacturers. By no means is this a game-changer for INTC that wipes the slate clean of all its troubles, but the new military contract is still a welcomed development that should provide its top-line and cash flow with a much-needed boost.

In terms of selecting a domestic chip maker for the Secret Enclave program, the government's options are quite limited. Up to 90% of the world's advanced semiconductors are manufactured in Taiwan -- the bulk of which are produced by Taiwan Semi Manufacturing (TSM) -- and INTC is one of the few, if not the only, chip manufacturer with the scale to meet the government's needs.This positioning has significantly benefitted INTC as the company has already racked up $8.5 bln in federal grants and $11.0 bln in loans through the CHIPS Act in support of its foundry expansion plans. However, INTC still faces a massive funding deficit given that it will need over $100.0 bln in capital over the coming decade to help construct new factories in Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico, Oregon, and abroad.Considering INTC's deep struggles and data center market share losses at the hands of NVIDIA (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), there is an even greater sense of urgency for the company to shore up its financials. To put INTC's downfall into perspective, the company's cash flow from operations for the six-months ended July 1, 2024, was $1.07 bln compared to $6.7 bln for the same six-month period ended in 2022.On that note, a couple weeks ago Bloomberg reported that INTC is considering splitting its Product and Foundry segments in a shock move meant to help stop the bleeding. In Q2, the Foundry segment, which is core to INTC's "IDM 2.0 strategy", posted an operating loss of more than $(2.8) bln -- more than $1.0 bln worse than the year-ago period. Those mounting losses, combined with deteriorating sales, especially in the Data Center and AI (DCAI) segment (-3% in Q2), prompted INTC to initiate a huge headcount reduction plan of at least 15% of its workforce, which it also suspended its dividend.Whether INTC takes such drastic measures as splitting off the Foundry business remains to be seen, but selling off other non-core assets seems like a very plausible possibility. In fact, in another Bloomberg report from last week, it was reported that INTC is considering selling part of its Mobileye (MBLY) stake. After INTC spun MBLY off in an IPO in October 2022, it retained an 88% ownership stake in the chip maker for autonomous driving technology.

After a barrage of negative headlines over the past few months, there are few companies more in need of a narrative shift than INTC. This new military contract does offer a reprieve, although it doesn't resolve the underlying competitive issues that have engulfed INTC.
