Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) was downgraded to “Underperform” by Bank of America on October 13. The firm believes the stock has risen too quickly. Despite a $80B market cap rise, Intel faces challenges like lacking a clear AI strategy and having weaker server CPUs than competitors.

Intel has struggled to regain market share in the personal computer and server CPU markets, losing ground to AMD and ARM due to subpar chips. The firm believes Intel lacks a discernible AI strategy and doesn’t have a specialized AI accelerator product to speed up AI workloads.

The firm expects Intel to be unprofitable by the end of 2027. While INTC may have potential, other AI stocks offer better upside potential with less downside risk. Investors looking for undervalued AI stocks can explore other options in the market.
