Intel gets $2bn lifeline from Japan's Softbank
WASHINGTON: Intel is getting a $2 billion capital injection from SoftBank Group in a major vote of confidence for the troubled US chipmaker in the middle of a turnaround. The equity investment, announced by the companies on Monday, is a lifeline for the once-iconic US firm which has struggled to compete after years of management blunders that left it with virtually no foothold in the booming artificial intelligence chip industry. It will make SoftBank a top-10 shareholder of Intel and add to the Japanese tech investor's ambitious bet on semiconductor and AI assets that includes the $500 billion Stargate US datacenter project. SoftBank also held talks with Intel on buying its contract chipmaking business ahead of the investment announcement, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing multiple people with knowledge of the talks. Intel has invested billions of dollars in setting up a contract manufacturing business that has struggled to compete with Taiwan's TSMC and barely attracted external customers. 'SoftBank's investment helps, but it is not what is going to move the dial for Intel,' said Amir Anvarzadeh, Japan equity strategist at Asymmetric Advisors. 'It's more to maintain this very good relationship he has with Trump,' he said, referring to SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son. The deal follows media reports last week that the US government may buy a stake in Intel, after a meeting between new CEO Lip-Bu Tan and President Donald Trump that was sparked by the President's demand for Tan's resignation over his ties to Chinese firms. It also comes as Tokyo pledged a $550 billion investment package into the US last month as part of a trade deal with Washington. The Intel investment is not currently part of that package, a Japanese government source with knowledge of the negotiations said. SoftBank's decision to invest in Intel is not connected to Trump, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 'This strategic investment reflects our belief that advanced semiconductor manufacturing and supply will further expand in the United States, with Intel playing a critical role,' Son said in a statement. It will pay $23 per Intel share, a slight discount to Monday's closing price of $23.66. SoftBank's investment will come via a primary issuance of common stock by Intel, and, based on the US company's market capitalization at close of trading on Monday, represent an equity stake of just under 2 percent, an Intel spokesperson said. The Japanese company would become the sixth largest investor in Intel, according to LSEG data. SoftBank shares closed down 4 percent on Tuesday following the announcement, while Intel surged 6.6 percent in US premarket trading. The Japanese company will only take an equity stake in Intel and will neither seek a board seat nor commit to buying Intel's chips, the person familiar with the matter said. Intel has struggled financially and recorded an annual loss of $18.8 billion in 2024, its first such loss since 1986, as it grapples with multiple challenges. Its longtime rival AMD has been gaining share in Intel's mainstay personal computer and server semiconductor markets, while its ambitious and costly plan for a chip contracting business has failed to take off. The company is now considering a significant change to its contract chip manufacturing business to win major customers, Reuters reported last month, in a potentially expensive shift from its previous strategies. SoftBank's Son held talks with Tan since his appointment as Intel CEO in March to discuss a potential deal, according to the FT's Tuesday report. They discussed a wide range of outcomes, including joint ventures with third parties or a minority investment similar to Monday's announcement, according to the report. The $2 billion investment did not preclude a bigger deal over Intel's foundry business in the future, the report said. SoftBank and Intel did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment on the report. 'Intel's dual role as designer and manufacturer/fabricator uniquely positions it as potentially the best platform in the US to compete with TSMC,' said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. Bloomberg News reported earlier on Monday that the US government is in talks to take a 10 percent stake in Intel. SoftBank declined to provide more details on the Intel investment when asked to comment by Reuters. Tan, a chip industry veteran who also served as a SoftBank board member before quitting in 2022, thanked Son for 'the confidence he has placed in Intel with this investment.' The Intel funding is the latest in the Japanese company's run of mammoth investment announcements in 2025, which include committing $30 billion to ChatGPT maker OpenAI as well as leading the financing for Stargate. – Reuters

He said the project reflects Kuwait's commitment to preserving architectural heritage and enhancing Ahmadi's status as a cultural landmark, supporting efforts to nominate the city for the UNESCO World Heritage List. Batoul Ashour, director of the Ahmadi Cultural Platform project at NCCAL, confirmed that the initiative aims to document and develop the city into an integrated cultural and social heritage site, blending historical authenticity with contemporary design. She noted that the historic market was built with structural foundations ensuring its continued role in serving the community. Ashour added that UNESCO experts and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) conducted field evaluations as part of the preliminary process for Ahmadi's World Heritage nomination. She emphasized that the next phase will focus on highlighting Ahmadi's heritage landmarks, urban fabric, parks, and public facilities. The council is working closely with UNESCO and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in preparation for the city's nomination for the World Heritage List, ensuring its global value is recognized. — KUNA

Programs such as Academy X have truly helped me develop in so many ways, starting with self-confidence and my ability to address a mixed audience of males and females eloquently and without hesitation. The program also sparked in me a love for self-discovery, because honestly, they've always taught us in a way that's engaging and never exhausting or boring. The time I spend with the program instructors and fellow participants always gives me energy and excitement, and a positive vibe I can't find elsewhere. I look forward to every lecture because I know each time I'll walk away with something new that helps me grow.' * Fatima Ayman AlZaid, Academy X Graduate 'My experience with the Academy X program was truly inspiring and enriching. I learned practical skills in entrepreneurship and technology, and I developed my self-confidence and ability to present my ideas to others. It was a unique opportunity that helped me discover my creative abilities and made me believe that any idea can be achieved if it's backed by passion and hard work. During the program, we worked on an application project to solve a problem we collectively faced, which was a real opportunity to apply what we learned in a practical, hands-on way.' * Aisha Khalil AlOtaibi, Academy X Graduate 'I've participated in many programs and competitions, but nothing comes close to Academy X — a truly unique experience in every detail, with a beautiful and lasting impact.' * Lulwah Salah AlSaeed, Academy X Graduate With one more cohort remaining in the 2025 edition of Academy X, talabat is gearing up for extending its sponsorship of the program to future editions, guaranteeing its continuity and growth. This involves expanding and developing the program's deliverables, increasing the number of enrolled participants, and providing more diverse and innovative training content. These efforts aim to enhance the program's positive impact and solidify its role as a pioneering initiative in empowering females in the technology sector. As a key player in the region's digital landscape, talabat spares no effort to support young talents, especially girls and women, in learning the vital skills and tools of the digital industry, enabling them to lead with confidence, innovation, and creativity, as well as introduce novel solutions for their communities' challenges and needs. Recognizing the digital-first nature of the future, talabat's sponsorship of Academy X is a contribution to a better digital future for Kuwait, the region, and, potentially, the world.
