An Intel stock analysis shows that the company's years of investing in new chip technologies is only now starting to pay off.

Investors are starting to realize this. INTC stock is up 8.24% in the past three months, despite unenthusiastic expectations for the Q3 Intel earnings Tuesday.

Here's why investors probably will need to look past these earnings...

This new tech is a big deal.

Here's why it will drive both MU and INTC stock...

The numbers showed that Intel's transition away from its historic PC business to new growth areas is working. But with revenue down is the change happening quickly enough? Is INTC stock a buy?

Intel Q2 Earnings Beat Is Not What It Looks Like (Nasdaq: INTC)

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Intel

A surprising Intel Q2 earnings beat sent Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) stock up as much as 8% in after-hours trading yesterday (Wednesday).

But a closer look showed that INTC's bottom line of $0.55 per share versus a forecast for $0.50 a share was actually the result of a quirk that few have noticed.

Here's how this key part of the Intel Q2 earnings turns a beat into a miss...

tech sector

The tech sector is bonding: Avago Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: AVGO) recently agreed to pay $37 billion for Broadcom Corp. (Nasdaq: BRCM).

Back in March, NXP Semiconductors NV (Nasdaq: NXPI) said it's making an $11.8 billion acquisition of Freescale Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE: FSL).

With all the semiconductor mergers and acquisitions (M&As) happening, there's only one sure way to cash in on them all...

Intel Stock

Intel stock nudged up today (Friday) as yet another report hinted that the iconic chipmaker was close to an acquisition of Altera Corp. (Nasdaq: ALTR) for $15 billion.

It was just the latest rumor of a merger between the two companies. The news sent INTC stock up 1.46% - and for good reason.

Intel Stock Price Hinges on Earnings Guidance for 2015 (INTC)

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Nasdaq INTC

When Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) reports earnings after the market close today (Tuesday), the company's guidance for 2015 will have the greatest impact on the Intel stock price.

While guidance is always closely watched, it will carry an unusual amount of weight for Intel earnings this time around. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker withdrew its guidance for the rest of 2015 on March 12, saying it would update its yearly forecast when it released Q1 earnings.

Still, the new guidance won't be the only earnings news that could affect the Intel stock price.

Here's what investors need to watch...

What's Next for Intel Stock (Nasdaq: INTC) as Prospects for Altera Deal Dim

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Nasdaq: INTC

Intel stock was briefly shaken today (Thursday) following a report that talks to buy fellow chipmaker Altera Corp. (Nasdaq: ALTR) had broken off.

Before the markets opened this morning CNBC's David Faber reported that the negotiations hit a snag over price. The news sent Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) stock lower by 3% and Altera stock down more than 6% in pre-market trading.

But while a merger is still a good deal for both companies, Intel does have another, almost-as-good option...

Why Intel Stock (Nasdaq: INTC) Is Up on Talk of an Altera Deal

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Intel stock

When word got out Friday that Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) was in talks to buy fellow chipmaker Altera Corp. (Nasdaq: ALTR), Intel stock rose 6.4%.

That tells you how much this deal would benefit Intel. Usually the prospect of a large acquisition causes a company's stock to drop.

But buying Altera will fuel Intel's already thriving data center business - the company's best answer yet to its failure in the mobile market.

What Altera brings to the table will end up being a huge catalyst for INTC stock...
