Re-iterating – a new CEO for Intel is good

December 2, 2024 Leave a comment

7 months ago, I wrote a note making an early call that the Intel CEO should leave.

I said ‘it will be good for the stock price’….and for the company.

The press release is calling it a ‘retirement’.

It’s better to retire than to be fired.

Ask Carly Fiorina.

Intel CEO on the ropes

But it may be more political which many may refuse to acknowledge.

As mentioned in my April 29, 2024 note…..there was/is much reliance on Biden administration providing Intel with ‘funding’ ….while incoming President Trump may kill the CHIPS Act and likely delete the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

They are also good reasons for Pat Gelsinger to resign.

Intel CEO on the ropes

April 29, 2024 Leave a comment

I think Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger is on the ropes.

I’ve watched his various media interviews and listened to Intel quarterly earnings calls. Tone and posture has changed over the past 2 years and not for the better.

Coupled with Intel’s woeful stock performance since his appointment as CEO in February 2021, using the word’s “A.I.” and “Data Centres” can only do so much for the stock price.

Intel had 5 rounds of job cuts in 2023.

It just won $8.5 billion in U.S. Federal subsidies from the $52 billion CHIPS Act Congress passed last year and was promised to receive $11 billion in loans.

Regarding the funds available within the CHIPS Act, CEO Pat Gelsinger said he is counting on additional federal funding this year for defense-related semiconductor projects. And he said he hopes for a second CHIPS Act to reverse the long erosion of domestic technology manufacturing.

“We’ll need at least a CHIPS 2 to finish that job,” Gelsinger said.

Its an early call, but a change in CEO will be good for the stock price.
