Over on CAPS, some 92% of the 6,961 members who have rated Intel believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include KinichAhau and All-Star rofgile, who is ranked in the top 3% of our community.

A couple of weeks ago, KinichAhau highlighted Intel as an Atom-ic opportunity:

With Intel's recent announcement of having chips in [Nokia] phones, and considering it already has most of the market share vs. AMD, not to mention the recent release of the ATOM chipsets that power most netbooks including the very recent ones, I can only see Intel increasing with time.

In a pitch from one month earlier, rofgile offers a balanced look inside Intel:

Intel is a chip leader. All of the competitors are now dust, with AMD falling far behind. Intel makes the chips for Macs now.

Intel has low LT debt to assets (0.05) -- a key stat I have been looking at this last year. Dividend yield currently 3.6%, pretty ok.

Negatives -- chip making requires constant investment in technology and has a eroding moat. Highly costly business to maintain. Consumerism is knocked back a bit, and computers have reached the point where there is less need to continuously buy new PCs. Could result in decreasing earnings next few years.
