INTC: Intel Stock Keeps Falling While SoftBank Bets Billions on Recovery

Less than 1 min read

Sep 30 - Intel INTC shares continued to slide on Tuesday, falling about 2% despite the company completing a major share sale to SoftBank. Intel issued 86.95 million shares at $23 each, raising nearly $2 billion in fresh capital.

The transaction is part of a broader effort by Intel to stabilize its finances while navigating a difficult turnaround. Recently, the Trump administration took an $11.1 billion stake in Intel, though the company warned that the U.S. investment could harm its operations in other countries. Earlier this month, Intel and Nvidia NVDA signed a deal that would see the duo co-develop PC and data center chips. Simultaneously, Nvidia said it would take a $5B stake in Intel.

Wall Street is still scholarly with these big time supporters behind. Intel shares have increased over 70% so far this year, yet recent threats imply equities in the market are balancing temporary obstacles in the shape of perpetual losses and reorganization expenses against future perks in artificial intelligence and foundry solutions.

Until further notice, the stock pullback shows that uncertainty about the Intel recovery story is still high.
