Re: Intel in Talks to buy
Altera
I have viewed INTC as a great company that is facing growth
challenges. These challenges have been ongoing for several
years and I do not yet see results that would excite me enough to
change my sentiment. At a forward PE of 12.80 (now in
question given the rise of the dollar and a PC market that still
looks challenged), it looks cheap, but given the doubts surrounding
growth, it does not look all that cheap to me.INTC generates an
enourmous amount of revenue from its high end CPU business, it will
take a lot of new products in new areas to move the needle in any
meaningful way. INTC lingered in the 20s a couple of year
ago, and it recently hit $38, on the overall positive market
sentiment, rather than on the business generating positive
growth. All that said, I can understand someone owning
the stock for the juicy dividend and the overall
stability it provides.
