INTC: $56.54 Last, $228 bn Mkt Cap, -11% YTD,  P/E 11, 3Q Est. +$1.10 EPS, Rev $18.2bn

  • One of the darlings of the dot.com boom that is still going strong, Intel [INTC] as one of the world’s largest chip makers at $230bn mkt cap, should be reporting after the US market close today.
  • The 12m consensus price target is c. $56.54, in-line with the stocks lvl of $53.50. The analyst price target range is $42 to $90. There are c. 30% buys in the name, vs. 25% sells with the balance being holds at 45%.

KO: $49.99 Last, $215 bn Mkt Cap, -10% YTD,  P/E 24, 3Q Est. +$0.465 EPS, Rev $8.4bn

  • The global brand Coca-Cola is one of the most well-known across the world. The $215bn mkt cap & soft drinks company – a long-term strategic holding of Warren Buffet, Berkshire owns just under 10% - is expected to have revenues of $8.4bn for the quarter.
  • Similar to a number of companies that have already reported, the uptick in economic activity in 3Q likely helped Coke in North America & Europe, with the emerging markets likely being a mixed bag to negative skew.
  • With US 10yrs rates at 0.81% & even 30yr bond yielding 1.62%, this blue chip's dividend of 3.38% that has been growing at just under 5% over the last 5yrs is notable. I.e. the div. on Coca-Cola is likely a lot safer than the c. 7-8% div. on energy etf XLE.
