Our weekly Dividend Idea is the leading technology and semiconductor company, Intel Corp. (INTC). Intel designs and manufactures integrated digital technology platforms. A platform consists of a microprocessor and chipset. The company sells these platforms primarily to original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers and industrial and communications equipment manufacturers in the computing and communications industries. The company's platforms are used in a range of applications, such as personal computers, data centers, tablets, smartphones, automobiles, automated factory systems and medical devices.
We like the company due to its high market share within the semiconductor industry (the biggest rival is Texas Instruments (TXN) with a market capitalization of $32 billion, one-third the valuation of Intel). The stock is a basic investment for technology investors with one of the most attractive dividend yields within the sector. The company is acting in a very cyclic industry but has a beta ratio of only 1.06. Despite the fact that the company is near one-year lows, we believe that the sell-off could go on due to recession items. Another big burden is the low market share in the fast-growing smartphone market. Intel raised dividends for nine consecutive years (Dividend Challenger) and has a long-term dividend growth rate over 25 percent. The company serves $10.5 billion on cash and short-term investments at $7.2 billion debt. The strong operating cash flow (EBITDA of $23.2 billion) leads to an investment payback of 4.4 years.
