  • Citi Raises Intel Stock Price Target to $130 on Agentic AI-Driven CPU Demand
    May 19, 2026, 6:58 AM EDT. Citi analyst Atif Malik raised Intel's price target to $130 from $95, projecting a 37% increase driven by a new CPU market model targeting 2030. Citi expects the server CPU market to reach $132 billion by 2030, fueled by growing demand for CPUs in agentic AI-AI software acting autonomously, requiring intensive CPU usage. Intel's strong position in data center server CPUs and its ASIC business, including Mount Evans infrastructure processing units used by Google and Anthropic, underpin this bullish outlook. Intel is reportedly sold out on server CPUs for 2026 and considering price hikes of 10-15%, indicating robust demand beyond cyclical trends, supporting Citi's upgraded forecast.
