Intel shares rise more than 42% as valuation stretches, author reiterates Sell call

The article says Intel shares have climbed more than 42% since the prior analysis, but argues the stock is now significantly overvalued. It cites an EV/EBITDA of 43.31 and negative free cash flow. The piece notes Intel’s AI and data center business grew 22% year over year, but faces tougher competition from Nvidia and AMD. It adds that while Foundry has landed orders from Google and SpaceX, the unit remains loss-making and is expected to stay unprofitable through 2030, leading the author to rate Intel a “Sell.”
