However, despite the much weaker-than-expected results, Intel's stock hitched a rally with most of the semiconductor space in recent sessions. After dropping below $27 post earnings, Intel'sstock made a stunning reversal, rallying back to $30 in recent days. Is everything finally fine at Intel, or will we have opportunities to buy Intel below $25, or lower, perhaps? The bear market bottom for Intel's stock is approximately $24 thus far. However, this may not be the ultimate low yet.Unlike Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), and several other counterparts, Intel's troubles are far more profound than the transitory economic slowdown that everyone else faces. Intel's structural, managerial, and cultural issues should keep a lid on the company's stock price in the near term. Moreover, a broad marketselloff could push Intel's stock price much lower if the bear market progresses. As the company's fundamentals continue deteriorating, we may see Intel's stock drop to the $15-$20 range in the coming months. This lower-end range is an appropriate price point to enter Intel, as the company should recover and improve its operations longer-term.Intel's Epic DeclineINTC: 1-Year ChartINTC (StockCharts.com)Intel's decline has been epic, as the company's stock price cascaded by more than 50% from peak to trough in 2022. Intel was about $65 at its peak in 2021, and despite the recent 25% rebound, Intel remains a long way from its highs. However, Intel continues to look bullish technically here. The stock's making a higher low since the $24 bottom and could go for the $30-$32 breakout next. Nevertheless, even with mild near-term strength, we're likely looking at a 10-15% potential near-term upside for the stock.On the downside, we could see Intel fall below critical support in the $25-$27 range and to new lows if the turnaround doesn't materialize quickly. Also, it's crucial to note that Intel's poor performance is nothing new, as the company and its stock have been going nowhere for years.Intel - Going Nowhere for YearsData by YChartsWhile Intel is down by 35%, many top chipmakers competing directly with Intel have appreciated by severalfold in the five years. AMD's stock, Intel's number one competitor, is up a staggering sevenfold in this time frame. The takeaway is that Intel needed to be more dominant, more efficient and innovate effectively for a long time. Intel should have capitalized on its leading position in the semiconductor space. Unfortunately for many investors, Intel's less-than-stellar management has enabled Intel's stock price to suffer considerably over the last five to ten years.Earnings: It Was That BadYes, the numbers were terrible, and it wasn't the kitchen-sink quarter because every time you think Intel came out with its worst quarter, another may follow.Horrible Earnings Are Now A TrendEarnings (seekingalpha.com)This time, Intel missed both top and bottom lines, with revenues dropping a staggering 28% YoY. Gross profit was cut to $5.5 billion as the company's efficiency continued worsening, and the company reported a GAAP EPS loss of 16 cents. However, the real shocking news was Intel's guidance. Intel now expects another 15-cent loss in Q1. In addition, Intel now forecasts revenues of just$11 billionand a gross margin of approximately 39%. Analysts were looking for much higher numbers, with consensus Q1 revenue estimates around $14 billion, 25 cents in EPS, and a gross margin of 45.5%.Analysts were dreaming, and the actual numbers would be far worse than most could tell. $11 billion in revenues will illustrate a staggering YoY sales drop of 40%. Moreover, we are still determining what to expect beyond that, but this is different from the dominant Intel we once knew and regarded as a top chipmaker. While many computers use Intel chips, its stock price has reversed, which may be a long-term problem.Management Change - BeneficialI remember reading an excellent article on Seeking Alpha a while back, and it helped cement my position against owning Intel. The management team back then (2020) hadn't been productive in years, and the new batch of managers needed to do better. There you go. We have a decade of almost no gains in Intel's stock. Moreover, there is uncertainty regarding where its share price is going next and whether the company will recapture a portion of its former glory. Actual change will only occur from new management. We need to start at the top and remove Intel's top managers, including the company's CEO, to succeed.Intel - Losing Market Share to AMDCPU share (cpubenchmark.net)Intel has been losing market share since 2016. Intel's 80% plus advantage dwindled to just around 60% recently. Moreover, Intel may be confronted with more intense competition from AMD, Nvidia, and other more modern chipmakers in the coming months.That Dividend Isn't SafeIntel must produce around $6 billion in FCF annually to support its dividend. Given the recent developments and ongoing challenges, it is doubtful that Intel will be able to maintain its dividend. For now, Intel will probably need to cut its dividend by 50% or more, or dismiss dividend payments altogether. This phenomenon should create several problems for Intel. Many mutual and pension funds and ETFs may not invest in Intel if it drops its dividend. This dynamic could contribute to the next round of selling in Intel's stock.The Bottom Line: Buying Intel But Not At $30Another factor that will likely weigh down the company's stock price is its continued underperformance due to management issues and technical mishaps. These factors and other contributing elements could bring Intel's stock price down into its long-term buy-in range of $15-$20. I will consider buying Intel stock long-term, as the company could turn itself around under the right circumstances. However, Intel appears remarkably overvalued at $30 here. If we can get its stock price around $20 or lower, Intel will become a strong buy again.This article is written by Victor Dergunov for reference only.
