Has Intel Corporation (INTC) Become the Perfect Stock?

One interesting move from Intel is its attempt to get into the Internet TV business. Skeptics note that even Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has had a hard time getting its TV project off the ground, despite the fact that its entire business model has prepared it for a launch that would further enhance its ecosystem of integrated mobile devices and content. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is also hoping to build off the popularity of its Xbox 360 as a streaming hub for content to support a TV service. In contrast to Intel, both Microsoft and Apple have huge followings among consumers who are used to dealing with their respective customer networks.

For Intel to improve, it desperately needs to find a strategic vision that will enable it to move beyond its PC dominance. Until it does so, Intel will struggle to get any closer to perfection, and its stock likely won’t produce the results investors want to see.
