Intel Corporation (INTC) 11th Gen roadmap, commitment to change, and development in IOTG sets Intel for long-term growth We view that the market is overreacting and shifting most of its attention to Intel’s delay on their 7nm chips. Intel is currently undergoing a strategic transformation into a data-centric company. Client Computing Group (CCG) does comprise a majority of Intel’s revenue (2019: 51.8%, 2Q20: 48.2%), and the recent news of Intel’s delay on their 7nm chips may have investors losing confidence as AMD and NVIDIA have technological and manufacturing edge over Intel. However, we believe that investors are turning their heads away from long-term growth potential in their Data Center Group (DCG) and Internet of Things Group (IOTG), also combined with a solid upcoming 11th gen product pipeline. Intel’s architecture day highlights their commitment to continue delivering timely, high-quality products to clients, indicated by Intel’s statement that some of their GPUs will be made in external foundries (very likely TSMC). Their Tiger Lake processors represents a major improvement to their previous processors, offering superior single-core performance to AMD’s Ryzen 7 4800U series and [their IrisXe GPU] comparable performance with NVIDIA’s MX-350 GPU. Intel has also secured multiple partnerships with OEMs for their notebook CPUs, including major existing customers such as HP, Dell, and Lenovo, along with Acer and Asus, to name a few. We expect that the strong demand for their CPUs and GPUs can allow minimization of market share losses to AMD and NVIDIA. Intel has robust financials and fundamentals, shown by their consistent free cash flow generation ability, a healthy balance sheet, and quality capital allocation. This provides investors a cushion for downside risks and volatility nearing the election and amidst global uncertainty, in our view. It also allows Intel to continuously invest in the long-term development of segments such as IOTG, where we believe will experience double-digit growth post COVID-19 (base case: 1Q22), driven by increased demand of electric and autonomous vehicles, mainly in China. The rise in enterprise digital transformation, AI usage, users of digital banking and online wallets, and wearables also contributes to the increased demand for data storage, which serves as a positive future catalyst for Intel’s data center processors as more companies deem data center and cloud spending to be a necessity. We remain overweight on INTC, with a price target of $63.44.

Largest Customers

For the past 5 years, Intel’s three largest customers, Dell Inc, Lenovo Group Limited, and HP Inc., accounted for an average of 41% of Intel’s net revenue. Revenue from these customers was from sale of platforms and various components mostly provided by the CCG and DCG operating segments. We expect CCG to experience low single-digit growth supported by upcoming 11th gen products, partially offset by a declining market and heavy competition from peers AMD and NVIDIA. We presume DCG will have mid-single-digit growth from increased demand of infrastructure expansion from hyperscalers, cloud computing and data centers, and cloud builders in the telecommunication and service provider companies. With the acquisition of Mobileye and partnership with Geely, we predict IOTG’s high growth will continue and will be set off by growing automotive sales post COVID-19. Due to the decreasing trend in NAND prices, slowing demand across communication and embedded segments, coupled with uncertainty arising from COVID-19, we believe that the growth in NSG and PSG may be limited or flat.

• We assume and expect the pandemic to be over by 1Q22, and will help support global sales. We think that the growth will be mainly driven by, including but not limited to, IOT in health and data center segments.

Personal Computing Device Shipments

• Personal Computing Devices’ demand is expected to decline by 1.2% CAGR over the next 4 years due to decline of Slate Tablet and Desktop PC demand, partially offset by increased demand for Notebooks and Detachable Tablets.

• Rising demand for notebooks sector due to its portability and increasing performance. • The entrance of chrome-based detachable tablets that mainly focuses on educational purposes

potentially see an increase in demand for the same reason as the above.

IoT Spending

• $742 billion forecast for spending on IoT in 2020 is a downward revision compared to the previous forecast of 14.9% in 2019 as COVID-19 dampens economic activities.

• Wearable technology has garnered popularity during the pandemic as consumers start to become more health conscious, and we expect this trend to continue in the future. This could potentially bring more revenue for semiconductor companies as infrastructure of wearable technologies are heavily supported by semiconductor components.

• Increase in wearables will provide more data for wearable technology companies, which in turn will increase demand for data center products as firms collect data on consumer behavior.

Semiconductor Sales Segments

• The share of global semiconductor sales by categories mostly remain constant from 2018. • Communication still holds the largest share of the sales. We deem smartphones as a necessity

currently and this sector will most likely keep growing in the future from the development of 5G. • Computer section still holds a lot of potential as the demand for cloud computing is on the rise, as

we believe that firms will need to incorporate cloud computing inside their businesses.

Intel’s Tiger Lake (10nm) demonstrates enhancement in laptop CPUs and comparable performance to AMD’s 7nm processors. The major discriminant between the new Intel processors and its competitors’ is their ability to tackle a prevalent problem in laptops, which is the inconsistency in performance when laptops are plugged in to an AC2 adapter compared to when they are unplugged or run on the device’s battery (DC). In Figure 143 we can see that the performance spread between AC and DC’s performance is smaller (2% on single core and 0.6% on multi core) in Tiger Lake compared to AMD’s Ryzen 4800 U (68% difference on single core and 33.7% on multi core), and to Tiger Lake’s predecessor, Intel Ice Lake (9.26% difference on single core and 44.35% on multi core performance).

Intel’s new integrated GPU, IrisXe, looks promising as it outperformed NVIDIA’s discrete GPU MX350 and AMD’s Ryzen 4800U, while its medium-end i5 outperformed AMD’s Ryzen 7 4800U. This surprised us because integrated GPUs would face more constraints on performance compared to discrete GPUs like NVIDIA’s MX 3504. Despite releasing a 10nm processor, Intel achieved comparable or even better performance than competitors who have implemented 7nm chips inside their processors. This portrays a bold statement from Intel, signaling that they cannot be counted out yet from the race.

2 AC = Alternating Current, DC = Direct Current 3 Geekbench is a platforms to test both angles of CPU performance, from the perspectives of single core and multi core performance. Geekbench Open CL tests GPU performance. 4 Integrated GPUs have to share their RAM with their CPUs while discrete GPUs have their own RAM.

Massive growth potential for IOTG segment driven by increased EV sales trend in 3 major regions. According to Deloitte, the Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) is expected to be an 11 billion USD business in 2022. By the same year, they also expect that the cost of semiconductor content to reach USD600 per car, up from around USD400 in 2019. With Mobileye, Intel is tapping into a relatively uncharted market which Deloitte believes to have a 5-year CAGR growth of 23.6%. Furthermore, Intel is collaborating with Geely in their Zero Concept model (produced by Lynk & Co., a joint venture between Geely and Volvo), which features Mobileye’s SuperVision™ ADAS technology. Intel also announced that they have secured a long-term and high-volume agreement with Geely Auto for ADAS, which means that more Geely vehicles will be using Mobileye’s technology. China is one of the fastest growing electric vehicle (EV) market, with McKinsey predicting the units sold to reach a range of 2.4 million to 3.5 million units by 2022. We believe that the demand for EV5 will pick up once the pandemic recedes and subside (base case scenario: 1Q22).

Intel’s actions show commitment and willingness to adapt. After the drop in their share price, Intel carried out a $10 million share buyback which rewarded their shareholders. Apart from that, Intel also got into an agreement with TSMC, which gives TSMC the right to begin mass production of Intel’s CPUs and GPUs next year, reducing Intel’s 7nm delay by around 6 months. By outsourcing to TSMC in their production, Intel can focus on their future 5nm chips by intensifying their research and development activities in the near future. Intel has also appointed Safroadu Yeboah-Amankwah as their chief strategy officer, who previously served McKinsey as a senior partner and global head of the transformation practice of TMT. We believe that this management change points Intel to the right direction.

Risks

Intel faces intense competition on the CCG and DCG segment and market share is continuously being eaten by AMD and NVIDIA. Intel lost significant CPU market share of around 9% in the period 2Q19 to 3Q19 when they first delayed their 7nm chips to 2021. AMD has pressured Intel’s market position by consistently offering products that were better in terms of price-to-performance; AMD’s Ryzen series are cheaper than Intel’s processors but still provided comparable performance. Intel’s delay announced in 2Q20 allows AMD to potentially be able to supply customers with 3nm chips by 2022. Should AMD maintain its technological advantage over Intel, we may see Intel’s market share dropping to 50-55%, a further 10-15% decrease. Moreover, the recent acquisition of Arm by NVIDIA provides the Intel competitor considerable synergies and potential enhancement for their data center products. However, the impact of this acquisition may be limited in the next few years as it is hindered by regulatory and bureaucratic processes, in our view. AMD has also been rumoured to be in talks to buy Xilinx in a $30 billion deal. We view that, should the deal go through, AMD may have to finance it using debt and may reduce future margins. Therefore, we need to continue to keep an eye out on these acquisition deals. Other risk factors that could negatively impact the share price include: (1) material, negative events affecting HP, Dell, or Lenovo (2) COVID-19’s negative effects on the global economy, lockdown measures, and consumption are longer than expected (3) mis-execution of their 11th gen roadmap (4) weaker-than-expected demand in CCG, IOTG, and DCG segments (5) worsening of the trade tension

situation between the US and China that may substantially affect Intel (6) significant loss of market share in CCG and DCG through increased competition from AMD and NVIDIA.

Valuation Summary Our target price of $63.44 or a 17.7% upside from the current share price of $53.88 (12/10/20) is derived from a weighted average of 3 valuation models, namely a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, a Comparables, and Precedent Transaction Analysis. We get a fair value share price of $58.28 from our DCF model, $87.08 from Comparables, and $103.97 from our Precedent Transaction Analysis. DCF valuation was given the highest weighting with 85%, while Comparables, and Precedent Transaction Analysis were given 10%, and 5% respectively. Our valuation is supported by our belief of growth potential in their data-centric businesses, strong fundamentals amidst global uncertainty, and strategic transformation of the company.

Discounted Cash Flow (85%) Our fair value share price of $58.28 reflects our base-case scenario of low single-digit revenue growth in the next 2 years, a $4.43 EPS in FY20, and a $4.91 EPS in FY21. We expect a flat 2% revenue growth in 2021 (vs estimates of -2%) and modest mid to high-single-digit growth in 2022 forward, mainly driven by top-line growth in IOTG, CCG, and DCG segments, reflecting economic recovery post COVID-19 (base case: 1Q22), narrowing gaps in technology and manufacturing advantage, and increased digitalization of global industries. Assumptions are made while also considering severe pressure from competitors, including NVIDIA’s enhanced data center chips through its acquisition with Arm, AMD’s future Ryzen releases and their potential acquisition of Xilinx. We view that NVIDIA’s acquisition with ARM may have an effect 2022/2023 onwards, taking into account the lengthy bureaucratic process and regulatory compliances.
