Who is Lip-Bu Tan?
Lip-Bu Tan is a heavyweight in the semiconductor industry. As the founder of Walden International and former CEO of Cadence Design Systems, he led a decade of strong growth. He also sits on the board of AI firm $Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd(CRDO)$, which saw its stock double last year.
In 2024, Tan left Intel’s board due to frustration with slow execution and bureaucracy. Now, Intel is considering him for CEO—a clear signal that the company wants change. He’s been vocal about Intel’s urgent need for faster transformation.
Why is Lip-Bu Tan the Right Fit?
Deep Semiconductor Expertise – Tan’s knowledge of chip design and manufacturing could help Intel refine its technology and grow its foundry business.
Strong Industry Ties & VC Background – His extensive network and experience in investing could drive Intel’s growth through acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
What Needs to Happen for Intel to Turn Around?
✅ Profitability & Margins Recovery
Intel’s margins need to improve. There’s significant room for cost-cutting, but the biggest challenge is the foundry business, which is losing billions.
✅ Clarity on Foundry Business
Intel must provide clear guidance on its foundry operations. Ideally, it will collaborate with industry leaders to make this segment viable. Talks of a joint venture with TSMC align with national interests.
✅ Progress in AI Inference
AI inference is expected to be one of the fastest-growing segments in AI. Intel recently announced Jaguar Shores, an AI inference chip using the 18A node. If Intel can develop a cost-effective AI inference chip, it could take market share from Nvidia and AMD.
Is Intel Stock a Buy?
Intel’s current price-to-sales ratio is 1.95, with sentiment being the primary driver until profitability improves. The upcoming earnings report and management guidance will be key catalysts, potentially pushing the stock toward its 200-week moving average at around $35.
With moderate revenue growth and a potential margin recovery to 11% (from nearly 20% pre-foundry expansion), Intel looks undervalued.
💡 What’s your take—Buy now or wait?
💡 Bold prediction: Where will INTC be by the end of 2025?

Intel's $Intel(INTC)$
The potential return of Lip-Bu Tan as Intel's CEO is intriguing. He's a veteran in the semiconductor space with deep knowledge of chip design and manufacturing, and his extensive network in the industry could be a game-changer. His departure from Intel's board last year due to frustration with bureaucracy speaks volumes—if he does take the helm, it's a clear signal that Intel is serious about change. For the company to truly turn around, it needs to improve profitability, provide clear direction on its foundry business, and make meaningful strides in AI inference. The Jaguar Shores AI chip on the 18A node sounds promising, but execution will be key.
From a valuation standpoint, Intel still looks undervalued, especially if it can restore margins to pre-foundry expansion levels. The upcoming earnings report and management guidance will be crucial in determining whether this rally has legs. If Intel can show progress in its turnaround efforts, the stock could push toward its 200-week moving average of around $35 and beyond. I'm keeping a close watch, but I'd like to see more clarity on profitability and AI progress before making a move.
What's your take—buy now or wait? And where do you see INTC by the end of 2025? 🚀
