4. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is currently the largest semiconductor manufacturer in terms of sales and market cap. Its size and economies of scale are among Intel’s main competitive advantages, as they represent potential barriers to entry, although other large semiconductor companies like QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) and Samsung Electronics also benefit from them. However, what differentiates Intel from its competitors and is one of the reasons why the stock is a good long-term investment is its leading market share in the server processors market. As the business world embraces cloud computing, Intel stands to benefit, as it is estimated that its market share in this area amounts to around 90%.
