INTC - Where fom here

SLRK Updated   
NASDAQ:INTC   Intel Corporation
I entered the stock at $52.50 back in January 2021, now a month later and after an impressive rally the stock is sitting just north of the $60 mark, around the IBKR analyst consensus price, and has closed the August 2020 gap lower.

Although I am a long term investor and not a trader I tend to review my positions on a regular basis and since my last post it's been about a month. (www.tradingview.com/...stay-or-should-I-go/)

A quick technical checkup:
  • Formation of a double top, that indicates the stock some resistance and might be in for a consolidation / price correction.
  • Major resistance will be at the 1y high of $65
  • Price currently testing the short term uptrend support line
  • MACD and RSI seem toppish

Quick Fundamentals (based on Refinitiv Stock Report:
Multiples trading largely in line with peers and broader market
Strong fundamentals such as high profit margins and relatively low debt
EPS estimates are flat, i.e. limited growth potential

Conclusion:
The stock has catched up significantly to its peers since the drop off end of 2020 and seems now in a fair-value range
Todays sell off is linked to the broader market and has limited impact on my decision
Fundamentals remain good but i am somewhat concerned about the EPS outlook as driver for price growth

I will be looking to sell short term calls around $62.50 as an exit for my current position.
Trade closed: target reached:
Closed the trade at 60.75 in yesterdays trading. Too much volatility atm and I am happy to lock in some profits.
