NEW YORK (TheStreet) --aBank of America/Merrill Lynch raised its price target for Intel to $43 from $36 Monday, reiterating its "buy" rating. The analyst firm also raised its EPS estimates for the chipmaker through 2016. Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analysts expect Intel to report earnings of $2.16 a share for full year 2014, up from its previous estimates of $2.14 a share. The firm raised its EPS estimates for Intel to $2.39 for 2015 and $2.65 for 2016, up from $2.24 and $2.47 a share, respectively. "As long as global PCs grow/decline within a 2-3% YoY range, we estimate Intel can sustain at-least flat operating income in its PC division," Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analysts wrote. "Indeed we see PCs stabilizing due to enterprise demand, due to a replacement cycle of the 600mn+ PCs that are 4+ years old, and due to new/attractive designs that provide superior productivity than tablets."
