Why Analysts Like Intel Corporation (INTC)

The company acquired Mobileye, which is a pioneer in the driverless cars technology. Over 15 million vehicles in the world have chips designed by Mobileye. Intel is also tapping into the futuristic markets.

The company recently revealed a 17-qubit superconducting chip for quantum computing. Some other drivers for Intel include 5G, IoT and FPGA. Intel will be one of the biggest benefactors of the upcoming tax cuts by the Trump administration. Intel has about $20 billion in cash, most of which is located outside the US. Currently, the company has to pay a whopping 35% in tax in case of tax repartition. But President Trump is expected to dwindle this tax to 10%, which will be a boon from heaven for Intel .
