Intel warns US stake could hurt international sales, future grants
Intel states the U.S. government's 10% stake, funded by $11.1 billion from federal programs, may reduce shareholder rights and impact 76% of revenue from international sales.
- Intel announced late last week that the U.S. government acquired nearly a 10% stake in the company through an $8.9 billion equity deal.
- The agreement transformed government funding from the CHIPS Act into equity shares, sparking ongoing discussions about the appropriate extent of federal involvement in private companies.
- Intel warned in a filing that government ownership could dilute shareholders, hurt international sales—76% of revenue comes from abroad—and complicate future federal funding.
- Intel's stock jumped more than 5% on the announcement, while analysts noted risks tied to political changes and questioned if the U.S. is moving toward state capitalism.
- Intel cautioned that political risks and public scrutiny might threaten the deal's stability, potentially affecting investors, employees, and global market relations.
