SoftBank is investing $2 billion in Intel, buying stock equal to roughly 2% of Intel's outstanding shares at $23 per share. The investment is seen as a vote of confidence in Intel, which has struggled to gain traction in the AI market dominated by Nvidia. Intel's shares had lost 60% of their value last year but are up 18% in 2025. The company has been investing heavily in its manufacturing business but hasn't yet secured a significant customer. SoftBank's investment makes it the fifth-biggest shareholder in Intel. SoftBank has been expanding its presence in the global chip and AI markets, having acquired Arm in 2016 and announcing plans to acquire Ampere Computing earlier this year.

The Trump administration is discussing taking a 10% stake in Intel as part of an effort to revive the struggling US chipmaker and bolster domestic semiconductor manufacturing. The proposal involves converting $10.86 billion in recent federal grants into equity in Intel. This move would be one of the largest government interventions in a US company since the 2008 financial crisis. The discussions come as Intel faces challenges, including a decline in revenues and struggles to develop new chipmaking processes. The company's chairman, Lip-Bu Tan, recently met with Trump and cabinet officials to discuss the proposal.
