We like the company due to the high market share within the semiconductor industry (The biggest rival is Texas Instruments with a market capitalization of $32 billion, one third from the valuation of Intel). The stock is a basic investment for technology investors with one of the most attractive dividend yields within the sector. The company is acting in a very cyclic industry but has a beta ratio of only 1.06. Despite the fact that the company is near one-year lows, we believe that the sell-off could go on due to recession items. Another big burden is the low market share in the very fast growing Smartphone market. Intel raised dividends for 9 consecutive years (making it a Dividend Challenger) and has a long-term dividend growth rate over 25 percent. The company serves $10.5 billion on cash and short-term investments at $7.2 billion debt. The strong operating cash flow (EBITDA of $23.2 billion) leads to an investment payback of 4.4 years.
