My Intel Price Target Now: Tech Analyst
Text Size 
CNBC News Associate
Intel’s quarterly outlook and results shattered expectations on Tuesday afternoon, boosting its shares to a 52-week high and fueling optimism over a tech sector recovery before the crucial holiday season.
Craig Berger, senior technology, media and telecom analyst with FBR Capital Markets, shared his outlook on the microprocessor giant.
“The results are very strong and the earnings power is more substantial than people expected, particularly because of the gross margin results and guidance for fourth quarter,” Berger told CNBC.
“Things are really good at Intel right now and consumer demand in particular seems to be the near-term driver.”
