Intel launches $15 billion share sale to fund foundry expansion
Intel is moving to raise fresh capital after a sharp rally in its stock, as the chipmaker pushes ahead with an expensive expansion of its contract manufacturing business. The planned offering comes as the company invests in new facilities and advanced packaging capabilities to compete more directly with Taiwan's TSMC.
Highlights

- JPMorgan Securities, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup Global Markets act as joint book-running managers for the offering.
- Intel shares drop over 3% in premarket trading on dilution concerns, but the stock remains up more than 100% year-to-date amid turnaround progress.
