Intel’s New Dividend and Its High Dividend Yield Imply Good Value for INTC Stock

 

INTC stock should slowly move toward its target price of $59.48, based on an average 2.45% dividend yield

 


 

On Jan. 26, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) raised its dividend per share (DPS) by 5% when it announced fourth-quarter (Q4) and 2021 earnings. As a result, I wrote on Feb. 3, a month ago, that INTC stock was undervalued by at least 19%. This was because it was trading at $49.51 on Feb. 3.

 

However, as of Mar. 3, a month later, INTC stock was actually lower at $47.93 per share. Obviously, this was likely due to the market downturn from the Russia invasion of Ukraine.

 

Nevertheless, now that the annual dividend is set at $1.46 per share, its dividend yield is now higher at 3.04%. This can be seen by dividing $47.93 by $1.464.

 

This is a significantly higher yield than Intel has had in the past. For example, Morningstar reports that the average dividend yield for the past 5 years has been 2.48%.

 

 

This implies that INTC stock is worth at least $58.87 per share, or 22.8% over the price on March 3. This is the result of dividing $1.46 by 2.48%. The result is $58.87 per share.
