The recent retirement of CEO Pat Gelsinger has prompted Intel to appoint Executive Vice President David Zinsner and CFO Michelle Johnston Holthaus as interim co-CEOs while searching for new leadership. Analysts at Citi view this transition as an opportunity for Intel to refocus on its core central processing unit business and strengthen its position in the artificial intelligence market. 
Market analysts have varied opinions on Intel’s future performance. According to MarketBeat, the consensus twelve-month price target among 31 analysts is $30.04, indicating a potential upside of approximately 51% from the current price of $19.88. However, the consensus rating is “Reduce,” with 25 analysts recommending a hold, five suggesting a sell, and only one advising a buy. 
In the short term, technical analysis suggests a potential further decline. StockInvest.us forecasts a possible decrease of about 14.63% over the next three months, with the stock price potentially ranging between $15.60 and $20.11. 
Investors should closely monitor Intel’s strategic decisions during this leadership transition, as well as its efforts to regain market share amid fierce competition. The appointment of a new CEO and the company’s approach to innovation in the AI sector will be critical factors influencing Intel’s stock performance in the coming months.
