  "account": "Intel, the global chip industry leader, is planning to raise US$15 billion through a share sale in an effort to fund its chip contract manufacturing business, as reported on August 10. The company is capitalizing on a stock surge driven by its turnaround efforts, which include the construction of new facilities and advanced packaging capabilities. Intel's shares experienced a drop of more than 3% in pre-market trading, likely due to concerns over shareholder dilution resulting from the stock sale. The company's shares have more than doubled this year, outperforming its rivals, with the surge in demand for central processing units fueled by the rise of artificial intelligence agents.\n\nIntel's executives have noted that orders have surpassed the company's manufacturing capacity, prompting the firm to increase its 2023 capital expenditure forecast from US$18 billion to US$20 billion in July. Additionally, Intel committed to high-volume production of chips using its 14A manufacturing process by 2028, after previously considering shelving the technology without a major external customer. The chipmaker has already secured Tesla as a 14A customer, and optimism for another significant client grew after US President Donald Trump suggested that Apple would manufacture processors with Intel, although neither company has confirmed the deal. Intel plans to give underwriters the option to purchase up to US$2.25 billion worth of additional shares at the offer price, less any discounts. JP Morgan Securities, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup Global Markets are serving as joint book-running managers for the share sale.",
