Intel keeps falling, but a major global bank says the stock can more than double from here. Meanwhile Wall Street's attention and money are crowded into Nvidia and Meta — leaving Intel as the unloved contrarian bet in chips.

## Idea

Intel has been sliding while the rest of the chip world rallies around Nvidia's earnings, and that unpopularity is exactly what contrarian buyers look for. A major global bank is publicly calling for roughly 130% upside, which gives the trade institutional cover rather than just hope. The same morning's analyst-call roundup shows research desks actively covering chip names like AMD, signaling fresh attention flowing into second-tier semis. If Nvidia and Meta deliver this week and lift the whole sector, the beaten-down laggard typically catches up hardest.
