August 22, 2016 QUIC RESEARCH REPORT Technology, Media & Telecom David Del Balso Shun Yao Josh Morris Adam Klingbaum 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 emerging investment themes that - This report will dive deeper into the semiconductor industry and affect current portfolio companies Intel as a company and an investment candidate. and companies under coverage.
