Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC), a tech giant often overshadowed by competitors, is sparking discussions among Reddit’s ValueInvesting community.
Despite recent setbacks, including declining revenue and earnings, investors are intrigued by Intel’s potential for a turnaround and long-term growth.
One Redditor highlighted Intel’s favorable market cap compared to key competitors like Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:TSM), and Samsung.

Redditors See Intel As Undervalued With a market cap of approximately $130 billion, Intel is seen as undervalued, especially when considering its potential upside. If Intel can execute its plans under CEO Pat Gelsinger and become the second-largest chip manufacturer behind TSMC, there could be significant upside for investors.
The current price presents a reasonable expectation of preserving investment with a solid chance of substantial returns if Intel’s plans materialize.
“In my opinion, this is a good play. It’s a Monish Pabrai “High uncertainty, low risk” type play.”One Redditor commented
“Sum of parts valuation for INTC is 50+ People forget the foundry business and focus only on chip design.”Intel’s Investments Into Cutting-Edge Technologies Another key point of discussion was Intel’s increased focus on research and development (R&D).Another Redditor commented
Intel’s role in developing technologies used by competitors like TSMC and AMD is noteworthy. The company has the first EUV scanner and is working on processes that could take chip technology below 1nm.
This indicates Intel has the potential to lead the industry in the coming years. Despite past missteps, Intel is investing heavily in cutting-edge technologies like High NA EUV and backside power delivery. These innovations could position Intel as a leader in the chip industry once again.
“Intel will be the first to rollout High NA EUV. Theyre going to be the first to do backside power delivery.”–said one Redditor
“Intel has the first EUV scanner and are developing the processes that will take us sub 1nm. They are the easiest play if you want to get rich over the next 15 years.”Intel Stock’s Current Low Valuation May Be Unwarranted While some investors remain cautious, citing Intel’s history of failed turnarounds, others see the current price as a buying opportunity. Intel’s fundamentals and turnaround plan remain unchanged, suggesting that the stock’s current low valuation may be unwarranted.–said another Redditor
Intel’s stock is a compelling opportunity for investors seeking long-term growth. While risks remain, including the company’s track record and the broader market environment, many Reddit investors see Intel as a high-potential, low-risk investment.
