- Open and fund your brokerage account. Complete an application with your personal and financial details, which will typically include your ID and tax file number. Fund your account with a bank transfer, credit card or debit card.
- Search for Intel. Find the share by name or ticker symbol: INTC. Research its history to confirm it's a solid investment that matches your financial goals.
- Purchase now or later. Buy today with a market order or use a limit order to delay your purchase until Intel reaches your desired price. To spread out your risk, look into dollar-cost averaging, which smooths out buying using consistent intervals and amounts.
- Decide on how many to buy. At last close price of US$24.2, weigh your budget against a diversified portfolio that can minimise risk through the market's ups and downs. You may be able to buy a fractional share of Intel, depending on your broker.

Have Intel's shares ever split?
Intel's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 30 July 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Intel shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Intel shares which in turn could have impacted Intel's share price.

Intel share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Intel's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$18.51 up to US$50.6023. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Intel's is 1.026. This would suggest that Intel's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Intel share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 133.93% of net profits
Recently Intel has paid out, on average, around 133.93% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.24% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Intel shareholders could enjoy a 2.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Intel's case, that would currently equate to about $0.495 per share.
Intel's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Intel's most recent dividend payout was on 31 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
