Stage 2: Determination of Intrinsic Value

EPSmg $3.40
MG Growth Estimate 8.02%
MG Value $83.35
Opinion Undervalued
MG Grade B
MG Value based on 3% Growth $49.26
MG Value based on 0% Growth $28.88
Market Implied Growth Rate 3.91%
Current Price $55.45
% of Intrinsic Value 66.53%

Intel Corporation is suitable for the Enterprising Investor but not the more conservative Defensive Investor. The Defensive Investor is concerned with the low current ratio, high PB ratio. The Enterprising Investor is only concerned with the level of debt relative to the net current assets. As a result, all Enterprising Investors following the ModernGraham approach should feel comfortable proceeding with the analysis.

As for a valuation, the company appears to be Undervalued after growing its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $2.21 in 2015 to an estimated $3.4 for 2019. This level of demonstrated earnings growth outpaces the market’s implied estimate of 3.91% annual earnings growth over the next 7-10 years. As a result, the ModernGraham valuation model, based on the Benjamin Graham value investing formula, returns an estimate of intrinsic value above the price.

At the time of valuation, further research into Intel Corporation revealed the company was trading above its Graham Number of $39.14. The company pays a dividend of $1.2 per share, for a yield of 2.2%, putting it among the best dividend paying stocks today. Its PEmg (price over earnings per share – ModernGraham) was 16.32, which was below the industry average of 35.4, which by some methods of valuation makes it one of the most undervalued stocks in its industry. Finally, the company was trading above its Net Current Asset Value (NCAV) of $-5.24.

Intel Corporation performs fairly well in the ModernGraham grading system, scoring a B.

Stage 3: Information for Further Research

Graham Number $39.14
PEmg 16.32
Current Ratio 1.73
PB Ratio 3.42
Current Dividend $1.20

Intel Corp qualifies for both the Enterprising Investor and the more conservative Defensive Investor.  The company passes all of the requirements of both investor types, a rare accomplishment indicative of the company’s strong financial condition.  As a result, all value investors following the ModernGraham approach based on Benjamin Graham’s methods should feel comfortable proceeding with further research.

IT Hardware Stocks Leave a Comment on Intel Corporation Quarterly Valuation – May 2015 $INTC

500px-Intel-logo.svgIntel Corporation (INTC) may attract some potential investors, as the company is so well known for its products. In addition, the company reportedly recently offered to buy Altera (ALTR) in an expansion bid, and may be moving to expand its market share in China. These developments, along with the company’s strong earnings, may play a role in a historically low level of short-interest in the company. However, despite all of these qualitative factors, it is critical to conduct a quantitative analysis of the company’s intrinsic value.

In fact, Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, taught that the most important aspect to consider is whether a company is trading at a discount relative to its intrinsic value. It is through a thorough fundamental analysis that the investor is able to make a determination about a potential investment’s merits. Here is a look at how the company fares in the ModernGraham valuation model.

The model is inspired by the teachings of Benjamin Graham, and considers numerous metrics intended to help the investor reduce risk levels. The first part of the analysis is to determine whether the company is suitable for the very conservative Defensive Investor or the less conservative Enterprising Investor, who is willing to spend a greater amount of time conducting further research.

In addition, Graham strongly suggested that investors avoid speculation, in order to remove the subjective elements of emotion. This is best achieved by utilizing a systematic approach to analysis that will provide investors with a sense of how a specific company compares to another. By using the ModernGraham method, one can review a company’s historical accomplishments and determine an intrinsic value that can be compared across industries.

Conclusion

Intel Corporation passes the initial requirements of both the Defensive Investor and the Enterprising Investor. The Defensive Investor’s only initial concern is the low current ratio, and the Enterprising Investor has no initial concerns. As a result, all value investors should feel very comfortable proceeding to the next part of the analysis, which is a determination of the company’s intrinsic value.

When it comes to that valuation, it is critical to consider the company’s earnings history. In this case, Intel has grown its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $1.69 in 2011 to an estimated $2.09 for 2015. This is not a healthy level of earnings growth, and supports the market’s implied estimate for 3.66% annual growth over the next 7-10 years.

In fact, the average earnings growth over the last several years is around 4.8%, so the market is pricing in a slight drop in growth going forward. The ModernGraham valuation model returns an estimate of intrinsic value falling within a margin of safety relative to the current price, indicating that Intel is fairly valued at the present time.

Intel Corporation passes the initial requirements of both the Defensive Investor and the Enterprising Investor. The only issue the Defensive Investor has with the company is the low current ratio, while the Enterprising Investor has no initial concerns. As a result, all value investors should feel very comfortable proceeding to the next part of the analysis, which is a determination of the company’s intrinsic value.

When it comes to that valuation, it is critical to consider the company’s earnings history. In this case, Intel Corporation has grown its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $1.27 in 2010 to $2.15 for 2014. This is a very strong level of demonstrated growth, which is well above the market’s implied estimate for earnings growth of only 3.74% over the next 7-10 years. In fact, the historical growth is around 13.79% per year, so the market is expecting a very significant drop in earnings growth. The ModernGraham valuation model reduces the historical growth to a more conservative figure, assuming that some slowdown will occur, but still returns an estimate of intrinsic value falling above the current price, indicating the company is undervalued at the present time.

500px-Intel-logo.svg

Intel Corporation passes the initial requirements of the Enterprising Investor, but does not quite qualify for the Defensive Investor. The Defensive Investor is concerned with the low current ratio along with the high PB ratio, while the Enterprising Investor has no initial concerns. As a result, Enterprising Investors should feel very comfortable proceeding to the next part of the analysis, which is a determination of the company’s intrinsic value.

When it comes to that valuation, it is critical to consider the company’s earnings history. In this case, the company has grown its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $1.27 in 2010 to an estimated $2.12 for 2014. This is a fairly strong level of demonstrated growth which is well above the market’s implied estimate for earnings growth of 3.91% over the next 7-10 years. In fact, the historical growth is around 13.27% per year, so the market is expecting a very significant drop in earnings growth. The ModernGraham valuation model reduces the historical growth to a more conservative figure, assuming that some slowdown will occur, and therefore returns an estimate of intrinsic value falling above the current price, indicating the company is undervalued at the present time.

Conclusion:

Intel Corporation is suitable for either the Defensive Investor or the Enterprising Investor.  The company passes all of the requirements of both investor types, which is a rare accomplishment.  As a result, value investors following the ModernGraham approach based on Benjamin Graham’s methods should feel comfortable proceeding with research into the company and comparing it to other opportunities.  As for a valuation, the company appears to be undervalued after growing its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $1.27 in 2010 to an estimated $2.09 for 2014.  This level of demonstrated growth outpaces the market’s implied estimate of 3.91% earnings growth and leads the ModernGraham valuation model, based on Benjamin Graham’s formula, to return an estimate of intrinsic value above the price.
