Needless to say, 2025 hasn’t been an auspicious one for these two leading chip companies. While analysts can discuss the merits of both companies’ hardware and software endlessly, today I want to look at the forward stock metrics and see which one is better value. 1.

CNBC’s David Faber said on air that an announcement could come “in the not-too-distant future,” suggesting WBD may be preparing to fully separate its declining linear cable networks from its studio and streaming businesses.

This week, I talk to the pair about what they call “Emergency Streets,” a concept around what the proper response should be after a fatal crash. It’s clear that what we’re doing right now — “Back to normal, everyone!” — isn’t working.
