Dunkin' Donuts Is the New King of Coffee?

A lot of people can't start their day without a cup of coffee and it looks like coffee addicts are starting to buy their favorite morning caffeine boost at Dunkin’ Donuts instead of Starbucks lately.

The company Dunkin’ Brands which owns Dunkin' Donuts and ice cream shop Baskin-Robbins are up 10% this year and 25% over the past 12 months, largely due to earnings and sales that topped Wall Street’s forecasts. Their stock is even trading at an all-time high.

While Starbucks is flat this year and has lagged the performance of Dunkin’ over the past year.

Dunkin' Donuts is also updating their coffee lineup, they are ditching the frozen coffee beverage Coffee Coolatta and offering a new one.  The phaseout will be completed by summer while the chain introduces the new Frozen Dunkin’ Coffee, which provides a more “authentic, energizing coffee drinking experience.”

Dunkin is also experimenting with a nitrogen-infused cold brew, just like Starbucks. And it has several other new products on the way, including a Coconut Crème Pie flavored iced coffee, a Chocolate Pretzel Donut and Peanut Butter Delight Croissant Donut.

Intel's wants to compete in the emerging space of autonomous vehicles and their latest move to acquire computer vision systems company Mobileye for $15.3 billion is their biggest step to date.

But the world's largest chipmaker has spent the past 18 months investing in and acquiring a wide array of lesser-known companies as well as reorganizing its own business, all in an effort to ensure it doesn't miss out on the next money-making opportunity which is autonomous driving.

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich says autonomous driving is estimated to be a $70 billion vehicle systems and data services (total addressable market) opportunity by 2030.

The acquisition amounting to $15.3 billion was announced on Monday, Intel made a play to corner the market on how much of that technology is developed.

The chipmaker’s acquisition of Mobileye, an Israeli company that makes sensors and cameras for driverless vehicles, is one of the largest in the fast-growing sector and sets the stage for increasing competition between Silicon Valley companies as well as traditional automakers over who will dominate the world of autonomous cars.

Google and Uber have already invested billions of dollars in their own technology, signing partnerships with automakers Chrysler and Volvo and sending test vehicles onto the road in a bid to cement their place in the industry.
