Intel Plans to Spin Off Its Networking Unit as CEO Looks to Shed Assets
Intel (INTC) is looking to spin off its networking unit as the struggling chipmaker moves to shed assets under the direction of new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, according to a report Friday. Intel has already started the process of courting strategic investors for its Network and Edge group, and notified customers of the move this week, CRN reported. Intel told CRN that it intends to remain an 'anchor investor' in the business. That deal recalls Altera, the programmable chips unit that Intel in April agreed to sell a 51% stake in to a private equity firm. Intel did not immediately respond to Investopedia's request for comment. Tan, who took the helm of Intel in March, has said he would look to cut non-core assets and streamline the business as part of his efforts to engineer a turnaround. His moves so far have also included layoffs, an end to previously planned projects in Germany and Poland, and a slowdown in the already delayed construction of new facilities in Ohio. 'I do not subscribe to the belief that if you build it, they will come,' Tan told investors on Thursday's earnings call, raising some concerns that Intel's cost discipline under Tan could also mean a lengthy recovery and potentially hamper its ability to catch up with competitors. Shares of Intel tumbled nearly 9% Friday after the chipmaker posted a loss. The drop erased most of the stock's gains for the year.

The latest meme stock mania is being driven by a historic short-squeeze that raises the risk of a downturn, Goldman warns
The boom in meme stocks is being driven by a historic short-squeeze, Goldman says. A basket of stocks with the highest short interest is up 60% in three months, the bank said. The stock market often posts outsize gains after a burst of speculation, but this can raise the risk of a downturn. Bullish exuberance among retail traders drove a new meme stock rally this week. According to Goldman Sachs, it's just the latest episode in "one of the sharpest short squeezes on record." And while it's got room to run, it also raises the risk of a downturn, the bank said. Analysts said this week's rally in meme stocks, which saw companies like Opendoor, Kohl's, and other so-called DORKs surge, is part of a historic short-squeeze that recalls similarly bullish moments like 2000 and 2021. The bank said that heavily shorted stocks beloved by retail traders have trounced the broader market in the last few months. A basket of stocks popular with the retail crowd and another basket that tracks the most-shorted stocks have been up 50% and 60%, respectively, since April, compared to 28% for the broader S&P 500. Goldman Sachs' Speculative Trading Indicator — a gauge for how much trading activity is attributed to unprofitable stocks, penny stocks, or stocks with high valuations — spiked to its highest level since around 2021. Despite the frothiness, it's actually good news for near-term returns. When the gauge shows a sharp increase over a three-month period, stocks have typically outperformed for the following twelve months. However, the bank warned that the music eventually stops, and such wild bursts of euphoric trading actually raise the risk of a decline. "The recent rise in speculative trading activity signals near-term upside risk for the broad equity market but also increases the risk of an eventual downturn," the analysts wrote. The meme stock rally this week has fanned concern among other market forecasters, though many say the broader market still appears healthy. Michael Brown, a senior research strategist at Pepperstone, told Business Insider that stocks are still being propped up by a resilient US economy, strong corporate earnings, and optimism over President Donald Trump's trade deals, though sentiment was approaching extreme levels. Art Hogan, the chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth Management, said he didn't believe meme stocks were a symptom of a larger valuation problem in the market, calling the latest rally "more noise than it is a signal."

The 3 Buffett-Backed Dividend Stocks That Beat the Market in 2025
With Warren Buffett at the helm, Berkshire Hathaway transformed from a struggling textile manufacturer into one of the world's most successful and diversified holding companies. The 'Oracle of Omaha' built his empire through disciplined value investing, acquiring only high-quality businesses and the best dividend-paying stocks the market has to offer. As the man himself says, 'Buy into a company because you want to own it, not because you want the stock to go up.' So, it's no surprise that many investors try to emulate his portfolio. Thanks to Berkshire Hathaway's latest 13F-HR filing, we can review its current holdings. However, there are 36 publicly traded U.S. stocks on this list, and not everyone can diversify across that many companies —at least without using fractional shares. More News from Barchart With a 5.6% Yield, This Dividend Aristocrat Pays Monthly. Is It a Buy Here? Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! Today, I'm covering Berkshire Hathaway's latest holdings and identifying its top three dividend stocks held, based on price performance, Wall Street ratings, and yields, so that you might consider them for your long-term portfolio. How I Came Up With The Following Stocks I keep several watchlists on Barchart, one of which tracks Berkshire Hathaway's latest holdings. From there, I clicked on the Screen button to go to the Stock Screener page. After that, I added the following filters: YTD Percent Change: Over 1%. This limits the results to stocks with positive stock price movement year-to-date. YTD Performance Difference from Market: Over 1%. This filter compares the difference between the stock's percentage price performance to that of the S&P 500, so the list only includes companies that have outperformed the broader market this year. Current Analyst Rating: 3.5 (Moderate Buy) to 5 (Strong Buy). Number of Analysts: 12 or more. Annual Dividend Yield: Blank. Watchlist: Warren Buffett Stocks After running the screen, I got nine companies, which I arranged from highest to lowest dividend yield. Now, let's dive into the top three. Coca-Cola Company (KO) Is it any surprise that Coca-Cola takes the top spot? The global beverage company is a favorite among dividend investors for its strong cash flow, stable business structure, and decades-long history of dividend payments. But exactly how long are we talking about here? Well, the company has paid dividends since 1920, marking 2025 as its 105th consecutive year of dividend payments. Even better, it has increased its payouts for 63 straight years, earning it the well-deserved title of Dividend King. While KO stock's price performance has been choppy this year thanks to the chaos surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff negotiations, it has still managed to grow 10.99% YTD. Today, the company pays a $2.04 annual dividend, which reflects around a 2.95% yield. Analysts rate KO stock as a strong buy. Bank of America Corp (BAC) Next up is Bank of America, the second-largest bank in the U.S. The company boasts a broad customer base, solid balance sheet, and over $4 trillion in managed assets through its wealth management business. It's also the nations top lender for small businesses in the US, which arguably gives it a strong foothold in the real, everyday American economy. BAC stock has grown 10.10% YTD. The company pays $1.04 per share annually, which translates to a yield of approximately 2.14%. It also has a consensus strong buy rating from 20 analysts. Kroger Company (KR) Last but not least is Kroger Company, one of the largest supermarket chains in the United States. The company operates more than 2,700 stores across, including food production facilities, fuel centers, pharmacies, and more. Although KR stock has the lowest analyst rating on this list at 4.10 (translating to a moderate buy), it's the top-performing stock out of the three, with an 18.36% YTD return. Since reinstating dividends in 2006 after an 18-year hiatus (1988), the company has consistently increased its payouts. 2025 marks its 19th consecutive year, with a notable increase from $1.28 to $1.40- today that reflects around a 1.93% yield. It also means Kroger is six short years away from a potential Dividend Aristocrat title. Not only that, Kroger boasts the highest 5-year dividend growth rate on this list at 103.33%. Final Thoughts Copying portfolios from investing legends like Warren Buffett can be a great way to start your long-term investment journey. However, it still pays to learn due diligence and know the ins and outs of your chosen companies. This involves understanding how it ticks, its business model, financial performance, and whether the company aligns with your goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon.
