Jim Cramer's Trust Buys 400 Intel Shares at $114 on 12% Pullback

1 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jun 3

Summary

  • $114 is the trust’s entry price for 400 Intel shares, creating a new position worth about 1.10% of the portfolio after a five-session slide from $123.52 to $107.93.
  • The buy thesis centers on rising data-center CPU demand as AI shifts from training to inference and agentic workloads, with Intel arguing CPU-to-GPU ratios have improved from 1:8 toward 1:4 and could reach parity.
  • Intel’s foundry business is the second driver, as tight advanced-chip capacity at TSMC boosts demand for alternatives and management says customer interest has improved after 18A process gains under CEO Lip-Bu Tan.
  • Recent signs of that momentum include a reported preliminary Apple chip deal and Intel’s role in Elon Musk’s $119 billion Terafab project, which is expected to use Intel’s future 14A node.
  • The trust funded the purchase with cash from Tuesday sales of Broadcom, Corning and Wells Fargo, and set a $140 price target on Intel.
