Re: Why does Intel own AMD stock?
Does Intel Corp. plan to buy its rival in the microprocessor business--Advanced Micro Devices Inc.? It's unlikely. But according to documents filed at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Intel surprisingly owns 80,858 shares of AMD's stock--for a total value of just over $2.3 million. Intel has a vast portfolio of stocks in its portfolio, but why the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip giant continues to hold AMD remains unclear. --M.L.


This was explained quite clearly in an article yesterday. Intel's various investment plans for employees include one or more based on the S&P index. So any stock in the index will be bought, even competitors. I would imagine that if AMD has similar index-based investment choices for it's employees, then they probably own INTC as well.
