Intel upgraded to Strong Buy with up to 87% upside on server growth and foundry improvements.

Intel has been upgraded to a "Strong Buy" rating with a base price target of $117, implying an 87% upside, and a low target of $87, implying 39% upside. This bullish outlook is driven by growth in Xeon server CPUs, improved yields in Intel's advanced manufacturing processes (Intel 3 and 18A), and narrowing losses in its foundry business. Despite near-term weakness in the PC market and pressure on free cash flow due to rising capital expenditures, Intel's strategic investments aim to regain market share and support long-term growth. Key factors to watch include execution on the foundry turnaround, expansion of custom silicon margins, and sustained demand for Xeon processors.

Intel's market cap stands at $332.19 billion as of Nov 13, 2026, 06:11 WIB, with a dividend yield of 2.24%. Despite the recent downgrade in price to USD 61.65, down 1.31% in one day, Pluang data shows a balanced order activity with 55% buying interest. This trading behavior occurs alongside the company's strategic moves to improve manufacturing and server CPU growth, as noted in the recent upgrade to a "Strong Buy" rating.
