Kapitalerhöhung: Intel nimmt bei Kapitalerhöhung mehr ein als geplant
Mit neuen Aktien will der Chipkonzern seine KI-Investitionen finanzieren. Die Kapitalerhöhung spült deutlich mehr Geld in die Kasse als ursprünglich kalkuliert.
Intel, the chip company, has significantly received more money for investments due to a capital increase, more than anticipated. On Tuesday, the company increased the number of newly issued shares to nearly 211 million, resulting in a capital increase of $20 billion, a third more than originally planned. The shares were allocated at $95 each, a 6.5% discount from the closing price of the previous Friday.
The news agency Bloomberg was the first to report the increase in issuance. Stephan Kemper, Chief Economist at BNP Paribas Asset Management, stated that Intel's capital increase sends a clear signal, as a placement of $15 billion at a manageable discount was exceeded multiple times. Intel is taking advantage of the favorable circumstances, as the company's CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, has managed to more than quintuple the stock price over the past twelve months thanks to the rehabilitation course.
The fresh capital will be used to expand the chip order fulfillment production, a sector that has accumulated billion-dollar losses in recent years and cannot meet the demand according to the company's own information.
