  • Intel Stock Surges 88% in One Year but Valuation Raises Questions
    March 12, 2026, 11:03 PM EDT. Intel's shares have soared 88.1% over the past year, closing recently at $45.25 amid significant market volatility. Despite short-term gains, the five-year performance shows a 22% decline, reflecting longer-term challenges. A discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis estimates Intel's intrinsic value at about $33, suggesting the stock could be overvalued by 37.2%. The DCF considers projected cash flows up to 2029, with free cash flow expected to improve but currently negative.
