Intel and SoftBank announced on Monday that the Japanese investment giant will make a $2 billion investment in Intel, the embattled chipmaker.
SoftBank will pay $23 per share for Intel’s common stock. Intel shares rose 4% in extended trading.
The investment is a vote of confidence in Intel, which has not been able to take advantage of the AI boom in advanced semiconductors.
Intel shares lost 60% of their value last year, their worst performance in the company’s more than half-century on the public market. The stock is up 18% in 2025 as of Monday’s close.
