Mid-Qtr Update on Yield Expansion, Foundry Wins

Raise TP to $150: Intel share price has underperformed since July, due to new share offerings (which we view as long-term constructive) and concerns over PC cuts at TSMC which were misleading. Based on our supply chain research, we believe its yields for server CPU (18A) and EMIB substrate were better than expected. That said, it is on track to expand the Foundry client base which will be from existing top-tier U.S. fabless to Terafab cooperation and HBM base die, which is likely in 2029 for 2 major ones. Meanwhile, CPU tailwinds, strengthened by GPT-6, continue. We fine tune our EPS estimates by +2%/+0% in 2026E/2027E and lift TP from $136 to $150, now based on SOTP.

CPU tailwinds on GPT-6, NVDA cooperation for head-node: We expect compute demand to continue scaling, with GPT-6's agentic capabilities, which extends from coding to broader knowledge work such as financial modeling and scientific workflows, benefiting CPU demand. We reiterate our view that the global server CPU TAM to reach $211bn by 2030. For Intel, we believe its CWF will start in small volume in late-2026 with full production in 1Q27, yet, the major volume will be Diamond Rapids, supported by stronger SRAM/LPDDR5X and number of cores, likely in mid-2027. For NVDA, we still expect a potential cooperation in PC and now expect a likely x86 CPU adoption for head-node as a variant of Rosa Feynman platform.

Foundry yields & projects: 1) Yields: Following our earlier view of 18A yields of ~80% in 2Q26 for Pather Lake, we believe the larger sized server CPU, CWF, has been improved to ~50% yields, vs. ~20% in June; 2) Capacity: we reiterate our report of Big Lift on Foundry Capacity on June 8 of 40/60/80KPM and 0/6/24KPM for 18A/14A by end-2026/2027/2028. 3) Projects: Following our report of More Than Just Apple on Dec 1 (highlighted Apple, Nvidia, etc), we believe it is working on the Terafab project, likely providing lP licensing, factory buildup, etc. 4) HBM base die: We expect it to be in 2029, likely for 2 major HBM suppliers.

EMIB & substrate yields tracking ahead: We believe the market concerns over EMIB substrate yields were based on outdated datapoints, while our supply chain research suggests development continues to advance, with two Japanese suppliers improving yields from 20-25% on initial testing vehicles to ~45% on the testing vehicles in Aug. This is on track to reach the following yield target of >50% in certified testing vehicles and ~55% in Jan. We reiterate our robust customer pipeline on $1.1bn/$7bn backend revenue in 2027E/2028E.

Risks: 1) AI slowdown; 2) new product/node delay; 3) yield rates; 4) competition.

Earnings revision

By factoring in higher Foundry revenue and higher share counts (post new share offerings), we fine tune our EPS by +2%/0% in 2026E/2027E respectively

Valuation and Recommendation

Maintain Buy with TP of $150

We rate Intel (INTC US) Buy and set our TP at $150, which is based on: 1) 3.5x our 2028E BVPS estimate for Foundry business, a level we view as justified and is slightly higher than tier-2 makers due to Made in U.S. advantages; 2) 20x our 2028E EPS of its Design business, which is lower than the target multiple assigned to its peers' such as AMD, as we believe its Design business is still losing shares in server and part of the earnings is to fund its Foundry segment. Overall, we project its ROE will recover to an above 10% level by 2028E amid the trend of Made in U.S.

Intel's P/B traded at an average of 1.8x post pandemic when the new 'IDM 2.0' and '5Y4N' strategy rolled out, though it didn't really execute. Share price was volatile in the past few years due to events of: 1) multiple delays in leading technologies; 2) inferior financial performance of IFS; 3) mgmt. changes; 4) weak position against TSMC. However, its P/B valuation moved up following the U.S. government's stake purchase in Aug 2025. We expect the upward trend to continue, and our target price is at the high end of its cycle valuation, as we believe the New CEO Lip-Bu Tan's initiatives with financial discipline and process technology development to remake Intel will enhance the company's position in the industry. We believe the critical factors to watch will be Intel's progress of 18A and 14A.
