Intel Selling $15 Billion in Common Stock as AI Demand Booms

Intel announced Monday, August 10, 2026, that it is selling $15 billion in common stock in a public offering, one of the largest equity raises in the chipmaker's history. The move comes as AI-driven demand accelerates and CEO Lip-Bu Tan pushes forward an aggressive capital investment cycle. JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup are jointly managing the offering. Underwriters also hold a 30-day option to buy up to an additional $2.25 billion in shares, which would bring the total raise to as much as $17.25 billion if exercised in full.
