Hi John

Nice of you to dig up my old prediction. I'm holding to my prediction of $85 for INTC by yearend 1996.

Here is my reasoning:

I believe the stock market simultaneously looks 6 months back and 6 months forward to generate "an annualized earnings estimate". The market then applies an appropriate multiple (taking future earnings growth into account) to the "annualized earnings estimate" to arrive at a price for the stock.

By the end of this year, I believe that INTC will have earned $2.40 over the past 6 months (last half of calendar 1996) and will be expected to earn $2.70 for the next 6 months (first half of 1997). Thus INTC's "annualized earnings estimate" will be $5.10 by the end of the year. In my opinion, the market will consider a multiple of 18 as "appropriate" for INTC given its historic range and its large size (current market capitalization of $56B). This should place the stock in the $90 ballpark. While $90 IS higher than my March estimate of $85 I want to see Q2 earnings and INTC's own predictions about the last half of 1996 before I raise my number.

I hope this helps.

Zack
