Almost at price target, can probably buy cheaper. Has become a favourite, mainly because CEO has finally started to deliver. Great suite of products. Cloud, data centres, AI, edge, foundry services. Likes it, but it's already moved. Beat on top and bottom, raised guidance. YOY, growth is down. Hold on, add at $42, and $40. Probably won't go under $38.(Analysts’ price target is $50.00)
He's avoided all chipmakers, because of the strong geopolitical tensions (US, Taiwan). Always make him nervous when a government throws subsidies into a business as Washington is; always are strings attached. Also, Apple will make its own chips. Prefers to own the chip-using companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.
Go to names that have more growth behind them. INTC has underperformed for quite some time. Prefers NVDA (which he owns), TSM, or even TXN, which are more on the ball, growthier, better execution. Earnings growth rate is quite weak at 4-5%. Cheap at 12-13x forward earnings, but higher yield indicates growth avenues are few. Yield is 2.5%.
