Analysts revise Intel stock price target ahead of earnings report

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has doubled in value over the past six months, and Wall Street’s latest INTC stock price targets suggest the rally is far from over.

Among the most recent analyst notes were Barclays’ $45 price target with a reiterated ‘Hold’ rating on January 16 and Jefferies matching forecast on January 15, which argued that Intel’s close ties to the artificial intelligence (AI) sector are going to be a significant tailwind.

Slightly earlier, on January 13, KeyBanc upgraded Intel to ‘Overweight’ from ‘Sector Weight,’ assigning a $60 price target. The revision came a week after Melius Research upgraded the stock to ‘Buy’ with a $50 price target. 

KeyBanc analyst John Vinh highlighted that Intel’s 18A manufacturing node has achieved yield rates above 60%, which he argued is sufficient to scale production for the next-generation Panther Lake processors. 

In addition, Vinh noted that Intel Foundry Services has secured Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as a customer for low-end M-series chips, which are expected to enter production in 2027, again as a growth catalyst.

While not necessarily matching the target, a number of other analysts have given their two cents on Intel ahead of its Q4 earnings release on January 22. Citi, for example, raised its rating from ‘Sell’ to ‘Hold’ and lifted its price target from $29 to $50 on January 15, citing the company’s potential benefit from tightness in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (NYSE: TSM) advanced packaging supply.

Similarly, Jefferies maintained a ‘Hold’ rating but raised the price target from $40 to $45, forecasting a “relatively disappointing” full-year outlook. UBS’s Timothy Arcuri had a similar idea, keeping a ‘Neutral’ rating and raising the target from $40 to $49.

Perhaps more interestingly, Bank of America’s Vivek Arya, after meeting with Intel investor relations at the Consumer Electronics Show( CES), anticipated in-line or better Q4 sales of $13.4 billion and gross margins of 36.5%. Accordingly, Arya reiterated an ‘Underperform’ rating with a $40 INTC share price target.

Nonetheless, while the most recent revisions have been broadly positive, the average INTC stock price target remains somewhat weak for the next 12 months. Namely, according to a total of 31 ratings analyzed on TipRanks over the past three months, the average Intel price forecast this year sits at just $43.30.

The number represents a nearly 8% downside potential from the current price, which puts Intel in stark contrast with some of its competitors in the sector, such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), which has also received a number of upgrades in the past couple of weeks.

The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now

The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now

The post The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Healthy competition drives innovation and better products for consumers; it is at the center of American economic leadership. Unfortunately, now that the bipartisan GENIUS Act has been signed into law, major legacy financial institutions seem to be having second thoughts about the innovations that stablecoins can bring to financial markets. Bank lobbying groups and public affairs teams have been peppering Congress with complaints about the law, urging members to reopen debate and introduce changes to the legislation that will ensure the stablecoin market doesn’t grow too quickly, protecting banks’ profits and stifling consumer choice. This reactionary response is both overblown and unnecessary. What legacy financial firms should do instead is embrace competition and offer exciting new products and services that consumers want, not try to kneecap emerging players through anti-innovation rules and regulations. The GENIUS Act was carefully designed with a thorough bipartisan process to strengthen consumer safeguards, ensure regulatory oversight, and preserve financial stability. Efforts to roll back its provisions are less about protecting families and more about protecting entrenched banking interests from the competition that helps ensure the U.S. banking system stays the strongest and most innovative in the world. Critics warn that allowing stablecoins to provide rewards could lead to massive deposit outflows from community banks, with figures as high as $6.6 trillion cited. But closer examination shows this fear is unfounded. A July 2025 analysis by consulting firm Charles River Associates found no statistically significant relationship between stablecoin adoption and community bank deposit outflows. In fact, the overwhelming majority of stablecoin reserves remain in the traditional financial system — either in commercial bank accounts or in short-term Treasuries — where they continue to support liquidity and credit in the broader U.S. economy. The dire estimates rely on unrealistic assumptions that every dollar of stablecoin issuance permanently…
