[News] Intel Has Offloaded Stake in ARM, Reportedly Raising nearly USD 150 Million
After announcing reductions in capital expenditures, massive layoffs, and the suspension of dividends, according to a report from Reuters, Intel is focusing on increasing its cash reserves to sustain company operations. The same report also indicates that Intel has sold off its entire stake in the intellectual property company Arm.
Per another report by wccftech, based on Intel’s Form 13-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company has disposed of its entire stake in Arm Holdings, totaling 1.18 million shares. Reuters further reported that through this sale, Intel would have raised approximately USD 146.7 million.
Despite selling its shares in Arm, Intel has retained its holdings in companies like Astera Labs, Joby Aviation, MariaDB, and Senti Biosciences. Yet, as per the same report from wccftech, these investments have yet yielded significant returns, with Intel currently experiencing a cumulative loss of USD 120 million on them in Q2.
Previously, after releasing its official announcement on its Q2 (April-June) earnings, Intel announced layoffs exceeding 15% and a suspension of shareholder dividends as well.
This decision came in response to a significant drop in its performance, driven by reduced semiconductor spending in traditional data centers and a market shift towards AI chips from competitors like NVIDIA.
At that time, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger pointed out that Intel must align its cost structure with the latest operational model and fundamentally change the way the company operates. He indicated that Intel’s revenue growth has not met expectations and has not yet benefited from powerful trends such as AI.
