Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) was one of the comeback stories of 2025, with the tech giant's shares nearly doubling. Yet even after that huge rebound, Intel has still been a disappointment to long-term shareholders. Even more worrisome is the fact that even with the big bounce in its share price, Intel still saw its business lose money in 2025. The stock market anticipates future news rather than getting mired in the past, and so Intel stock 's strong performance clearly suggests that the business will fare better in the future than it has recently. Nevertheless, it's still worth looking at past results to see how Intel got itself into its current situation and what it's going to take to move forward. That's the primary goal of this second article in the Voyager Portfolio series on Intel. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Sean Gallup/Getty Images News Which financial stocks are best positioned for AI? Seeking Alpha analysts Labutes IR , Dr. Christopher Davis of Quad 7 Capital, and Daniel Jones weigh in. Labutes IR : Generally speaking, I think AI can be beneficial for the financial sector, as it should allow financial institutions to operate more efficiently and provide faster and better service to customers. This means larger financial institutions like JPMorgan ( JPM ) or Visa ( V ) should have, theoretically, some advantage compared to smaller players due to stronger financial resources and balance sheets to invest significantly in AI. Having said that, I see neobanks, such as Sofi Technologies ( SOFI ) or Nu Holdings ( NU ), particularly well prepared to benefit from AI because their business models are usually based on digital infrastructures and cloud-native platforms, giving them a structural advantage within the financial sector to deploy AI tools successfully and be on the edge of technology compared to traditional financial companies. Christopher Davis : Finding financial stocks that could benefit is much harder than finding potential victims. The largest traditional banks that have billions to invest into proprietary research and AI development can withstand the blow, if not benefit. Institutions like JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) and Bank of America ( BAC ), along with investment banks like Goldman Sachs ( GS ) and Morgan Stanley ( MS ), have the resources to build custom large language models that automate back-office operations. They can use the tech to enhance fraud detection and provide high-speed algorithmic trading and decision-making. So, while they could take a hit on fees from having human managers or decision-makers work with customers, they can make it up on the back end by reducing labor expenses for compliance, data entry tasks, and underwriting, as well as simply customer service. The fintech and payment processing space should benefit, too. Their business models r...

Readers respond to an editorial and other articles on the fallout of the Peter Mandelson scandal What a great editorial ( The Guardian view on Starmer’s trust crisis: it is unlikely to be managed away, 13 February ). Your statement that the prime minister has “learned nothing and forgotten nothing” sums up much of his and our present situation. He was put where he is now by apparatchiks who failed to suggest that without any vision he would be at the mercy of people who would tug him to and fro – which they have. This weakness – which was shared by Boris Johnson, and why Dominic Cummings called Johnson “ the Trolley ” – means few people have any reason to trust him. That Starmer’s judgment is flawed is demonstrated by the number of U-turns that he has been forced to make. I heard somebody on Radio 4 saying that Starmer “emanates blandness”. On the benches behind him are many stronger people. He needs to be ditched before the country is totally shrouded in gloom. Juliet Solomon Frome, Somerset Continue reading...

Neil Saunders of the Premier League responds to a letter about ongoing help for academy footballers who have been released from their contracts The Premier League introduced the elite player performance plan (EPPP) in 2012 to modernise and professionalise youth development in English football.

The Premier League, clubs and selected partners work collaboratively to support players from under-nine level through to the first team, with a strong focus on mental health and wellbeing.

It’s not surprising that rural practices such as Coniston in the Lake District find it hard to recruit GPs, writes Dr John Holden Regarding your report ( Lake District village struggles to find GP – despite ad pledging ‘we’ll never run out of beer’, 11 February ), Coniston’s situation is not a question of marketing flair but of structural pressure in rural general practice. Findings from a recent survey of our member doctors working in rural and remote areas underline the scale of the challenge. One in four doctors told us that working in a single-handed practice has negatively affected their wellbeing or contributed to burnout. Continue reading...

No Arrests In Nancy Guthrie Case After Major Operation Near Her Home Authored by Jacki Thrapp via The Epoch Times, No arrests have been made in the Nancy Guthrie case after a night of heavy police activity two miles from the missing 84-year-old’s home. Nancy Guthrie, who is the mother of “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on Jan. 31 after she had dinner with her family. As the search for Guthrie entered its third week , a large police presence responded to a road near the missing woman’s home in the Tucson, Arizona area on the night of Feb. 13, which included a series of sheriff’s and FBI vehicles as well as SWAT and forensics teams. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the police activity was related to the case, but did not release details about what happened inside the blocked-off scene. “Law enforcement activity is underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd & N First Ave related to the Guthrie case,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared in an X post . “Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI, no additional information is currently available.” The Epoch Times contacted the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI for more information, but had received no response at the time of publishing. Around the same time that police activity was taking place in Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood late Friday night, a separate incident was happening at a Culver’s restaurant, also two miles away from her home. The FBI and the sheriff’s department tagged and towed a Range Rover SUV from a Culver’s restaurant parking lot, which confirmed the activity was part of the Nancy Guthrie case. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31 when a relative drove her back home from a family dinner at 9:48 p.m. The 84-year-old’s doorbell camera was disconnected in the early morning hours of Feb. 1. The FBI accessed footage from her Nest camera and released video of a suspect, without a time stamp, on Feb. 12. FBI Phoenix described the...
