It only seems that way because they are so profitable.

Less profitable firms try to make a virtue of not paying dividends, but they often have little choice.

"INTC, like MSFT, can't seem to deploy their cash to innovate."

Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Willis?

First to HMG, First to the last several process nodes, first to trigate, I could go on and on... You think THOSE innovations grow on trees?

I agree. I am watching INTC now as a possible dividend stock on a big enough drop in price. This ought to tell you enough about what the market thinks about the innovation they have brought with their cash:



Also I see the buy back a bit different.
"since 1990, it has bought ... 3.6 billion shares in total" or
"since 1990, employees have sold 3.6 billion in shares total"
