Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers downgraded Intel (INTC) to Market Perform from Outperform while raising his price target for the shares to $60 from $55. The stock closed yesterday up 44c to $55.92. The shares, after rallying 19% year-to-date, reflect a more balanced risk/reward, Rakers tells investors in a research note. His downgrade is valuation-driven but also reflects a more cautious view on current semiconductor demand data points going into Q1 earnings. Further, Intel’s comps thru 2019 are tough, and investor sentiment could become “more tempered” amid increasing visibility into AMD (AMD) share gain momentum, contends Rakers.
