I have no direct answer for this, but I think Intel is only worth because it’s priced cheap at the moment compared to wider market. It will not grow leaps and bounds but like other people mentioned it’s not going anywhere in short/mid term, they are a dividend payer and there is little to no risk of hitting a price crater unless something scandalous happens.
Who knows may be with some intelligent management changes they can start challenging other brands. Which will be great for consumers, we don’t want a monopoly one way or another.
I’ve also recently posted my buy list, which has quite a few semiconductor stocks. KLA is a decent one and promising, if you want to diverse into these “lesser known” ones, I recommend looking into ones like AVGO, xilinx and ASML.
