Intel's packaging edge drives trillion-dollar potential.
Intel is a turnaround story with a strong technological edge in advanced packaging (EMIB) and leading-edge nodes (18A, 14A). The market underestimates its packaging business, which could generate tens of billions in revenue from Nvidia's Fineman and other customers. Intel's free cash flow is temporarily negative due to heavy investment, but that investment positions it to win against TSMC. Intel should be a $600B market cap by year-end and a $1T company soon. The stock is still cheap relative to peers.
