Is Intel Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing Intel Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Intel Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Intel Corporation's P/E ratio
Intel Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Intel Corporation shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Intel Corporation's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the semiconductors industry or those of similar companies.
- International Business Machines Corporation (IBM.US): 19.04
- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 89.67
- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US): 125.73
Intel Corporation's PEG ratio
Intel Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.4635. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Intel Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Intel Corporation's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- International Business Machines Corporation (IBM.US): 8.82
- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 3.04
- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US): 1.16
Intel Corporation's EBITDA
Intel Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $36.1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Intel Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put Intel Corporation's EBITDA into context you can compare it against that of similar companies.
- International Business Machines Corporation (IBM.US): USD$13.5 billion
- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): USD$5.1 billion
- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US): USD$1.4 billion

There are currently 68.2 million Intel Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Intel Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 7.1% down from 73.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Intel Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Intel Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Intel Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Intel Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Intel Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 40.4 million). Intel Corporation's SIR currently stands at 1.69. In other words for every 100,000 Intel Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1690 shares are currently held short.
To gain some more context, you can compare Intel Corporation's short interest ratio against those of similar companies.
- International Business Machines Corporation (IBM.US): 5.2
- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 1.1
- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US): 1.5
However Intel Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Intel Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Intel Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Intel Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Intel Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0167% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Intel Corporation shares, roughly 17 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Intel Corporation.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Intel Corporation is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
To gain some more context, you can compare Intel Corporation's total ESG risk score against those of similar companies.

Intel Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 20.51% of net profits
Recently Intel Corporation has paid out, on average, around 20.51% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.33% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Intel Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.33% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Intel Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.32 per share.
While Intel Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Intel Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Intel Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 1 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US): 0.00% (does not pay dividend)
Have Intel Corporation's shares ever split?
Intel Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 31 July 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Intel Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Intel Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Intel Corporation's share price.
Intel Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Intel Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $42.7811 up to $66.7652. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Intel Corporation's is 0.7348. This would suggest that Intel Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
To put Intel Corporation's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
- International Business Machines Corporation (IBM.US): 1.2416
- NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US): 1.4464
