Intel price target lowered to $35 from $45 at Roth MKM

Roth MKM lowered the firm’s price target on Intel to $35 from $45 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The company’s Q1 revenue exceeded estimates but its guidance was slightly below consensus growth at the midpoint, with revenue outlook reflecting significant non- core segment inventory digestion and worse than seasonal core segment declines, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Intel is poised to recover competitive product position and in-house manufacturing advantage over the next several quarters, but the financial benefit is expected to be measured in the near-term, the firm added.
