Company Report
Analysis of Sales/Earnings

Company Update:
For 3Q09, INTC has guided to further gross margin expansion as fab utilization continues to increase. INTC should actually
gain about 500bp in gross margin in Q3 due to higher fab utilization rates; however, some of that will likely be offset by 1)
lower ASPs due to a weaker enterprise market (higher ASPs) and a stronger consumer market (lower ASPs), 2) an increase
in costs (much of the product being sold in Q3 was built in Q2 and will be charged with lower fab utilization expense), and 3)
continued spend for INTC's 32nm transition. We expect the net result to be approximately a 200-300bp increase in gross
margins in Q3.

That said, given a strong increase in fab utilizations in 3Q09, most of the 32-nm production ramp costs coming to
an end bodes well for 4Q09 costs and 4Q09 gross margins, in our view.

Bull Case:
1) Gross margins have bottomed and will continue to improve in the future as fab utilization rates continue to increase as
inventories are lean and end-market demand returns to a more-seasonal pattern.
2) Although enterprise spending continues to be weak throughout 2009, resilience in the consumer notebook space will
likely continue to push up utilization rates, helping gross margins back to the low end of the corporate expectations of
55-60%.

Bear Case:
1) Q3 guidance of up 6% Q/Q; bears see less-than-seasonal growth into typical strong Q3 holiday ramp, which could be a
conservative guidance from Intel.
2) 2H and Q4 visibility remains limited: The company said it is seeing a strong seasonal 2H, though most skeptics argue
2H09 remains the wild card.

VALUATION:
We base our $20 price target on applying an approximate 17x P/E multiple to our 2010 EPS estimate of $1.20. We believe
investors are already assuming the worst for 2009, and given that the 2010 outlook is still cloudy, we believe we are
assuming reasonable caution and conservatism in our estimates. INTC shares, in the last five years, have traded between
10x and 32x forward P/E. We are taking a longer-term outlook and applying a mid-point multiple on closer to a mid-cycle
EPS now. We believe a paradigm change in the PC landscape, with the entry of netbooks, and any continued economic
malaise through 2009, could affect future growth. INTC has almost $2 in net cash per share and providing a 3.5% dividend
yield.

RISKS TO PRICE TARGET:

The following risks are inherent in a diversified semiconductor company: general business and economic conditions;
demand for products; changes in customer order patterns; the pricing of products; the continued development, qualification,
and availability of innovative products in a rapidly changing technological environment; the ability to reduce costs;
manufacturing risks; inventory risk; the ability to recruit and retain skilled engineers and other personnel; currency risks.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
Intel Corporation is one of the world's largest chip makers, and supplies over 80% of the processors for computers. Intel
makes chips, boards, systems, and software building blocks that are sold to computing, enterprise, and networking
end-markets. Intel has historically manufactured almost all of its own chips, which involves large fixed asset investments.
Intel has acquired over 50 companies to boost its development efforts, including its push into the communications market.

Rating Definitions
The ThinkEquity LLC rating system is based on a stock's expected total return over a 12-month investment horizon. Ratings on coverage
are defined as follows:

Buy: Appreciation potential of 20% or more over the next 12 months. Analyst has a high level of conviction that the company's business
fundamentals are intact and that the company will meet or exceed earnings projections. Valuation is considered reasonable considering
the company's potential.
Accumulate: Appreciation potential greater than 0% and less than 20% over the next 12 months. Typically good companies, with
fundamentals and earnings visibility intact, but current valuation limits upside potential.
Source of Funds: Stock is expected to decline as much as 20% over the next 12 months, due to a single or combination of factors
including excessive valuation, negative sector sentiment, and/ or reduced earnings expectations.
Sell: Stock expected to decline 20% or more over the next 12 months. Company fundamentals are deteriorating, leading to material
downward revisions in earnings projections and valuation.
