Intel vs. Industry & S&P 500- 5 most recent days Again, Intel has significantly underperformed the broad market average and the semiconductor industry tracked by yahoo.

AMD has better revenue growth which explains their increase in market share stealing some from Intel. Also, Intel’s P/E is significantly lower than its competitors. VII. Financial Forecasts (from analysts)
www.finance.yahoo.com Looking at the estimates from analyst compared to their respective earnings a year ago, Intel clearly does not expect to have a great year.

As seen from above, Intel’s growth is significantly lower than the average company in the semiconductor industry and the S&P as a whole. Yet, with estimates at such low levels, Intel will have an easier time in beating such estimates and thus a potential rise in the stock price. Even though the short term outlook is very gloomy for Intel, lower prices and an increase in the sales of new chips will enable Intel to possibly overcome its growth short comings. Trend Analysis (Intel vs. S&P 500) Until January, Intel had performed above the broad market average. On January 17, Intel released their Q1 revenue guidance FY 06. As you can see, Intel’s stock price decreased significantly and has not recovered from missing analyst estimates. VIII.
