INTEL CORP. $31 - Nasdaq symbol INTC

INTEL CORP. $31 (Nasdaq symbol INTC; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Manufacturing & Industry sector; Shares outstanding: 5.0 billion; Market cap: $155.0 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 2.9; Dividend yield: 2.9%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.intel.com) now expects $13.7 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2014, up from its earlier forecast of $13.0 billion. That’s because businesses are replacing their older computers at a faster-than-expected pace.

The stock has gained 19% since the start of the year and trades at 15.2 times the $2.04 a share that Intel will probably earn in 2014. That’s a particularly attractive p/e ratio for a tech leader that spends a high 22% of its revenue on research.

Intel is a buy.
