Citi Cautious on Intel (INTC): 'we expect the PC downturn to negatively impact both and our estimates remain below Consensus'
Citi analyst Christopher Danely reiterated a Neutral rating and $27.00 price target on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC).
The analyst comments "December notebook shipments were up 1% MoM, 5% below Citi’s expectation due to continued inventory digestion and demand deterioration. Overall 4Q22 shipments were down 16% QoQ, 2% below Citi’s forecast. Carrie Liu, our notebook analyst, expects 1Q23 notebook shipment of down 20% QoQ, roughly in line with seasonality (see: note). We expect notebook shipments to continue declining in 2023 given the inventory build and recession. Citi expects global PC shipments to be down 6% YoY. We reiterate our Neutral ratings on Intel and AMD as we expect the PC downturn to negatively impact both and our estimates remain below Consensus."
