What Does It Mean When a Technology Company Starts Paying Dividends or Repurchasing Its Stock? - Technology is a race that has no finish line. If a tech company has no new growth opportunities – if it doesn’t have enough new “question mark” products, then doesn’t that mean it will eventually lag? And if a tech company finds nothing better to do with its cash than to return it back to its shareholders, in the form of dividends or share buybacks, then isn’t that a hint that it is running out of new growth opportunities? Don’t dividends and share buybacks indicate that the company has shifted from its Product Life Cycle “Growth” stage to “Maturity” stage? Doesn’t that mean that it isn’t a growth investment anymore? What do you think? Stockmarket

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ...

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.

Looks like we're going through something, but who would have thought with all these tarrifs, inflation and trade wars going on
