Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC)
Leader in Semiconductors Offers Value in New Markets
Introduction

- The QUIC TMT portfolio currently does not have direct exposure to
  the semiconductor industry, and we believe Intel would be an
  excellent company to add to the portfolio.

- The semiconductor industry has recently been hit by declining
  demand from PC end markets, but has a bright outlook in the
  automotive, industrial, and communications markets. There will be
  continued M&A activity in this industry.

- Intel is the leading designer and manufacturer of microprocessors,
  and is therefore able to achieve scale and maintain bargaining
  power over customers.

- Intel is uniquely positioned to capitalize on growth ahead in its Data
  Center Group segment and in new markets in which it is making
  investments.

- Intel trades at a discount to its peers on several valuation multiples.
  Based on trading comparables and a DCF, we have established a
  price target of $39.30 for INTC, which would generate an all-in
  return of 14.14%.                                                                                           QUIC Research Reports focus on

                                                            Our target price for Intel is an average of: (1) the implied

                                                            trading multiples, Intel is trading at a discount to the median

                                                            and its ability to scale operations and increase operating

                                                            prices, we believe Intel should trade in line with 75th

                                                            percentile forward multiples. Given the slight uncertainty of
12-month Target Price                $39.30
                                                            the revenue growth Intel’s DCG will generate and the

All-in Return                       14.14%
                                                            multiples in line with peer medians.

  We arrived at a target share price of $39.30. With Intel’s 3.00% dividend, an investment in
                          Intel would yield an all-in return of 14.14%.
