Intel CEO Seeks U.S. Backing for Massive Stock Sale to Fuel AI Push

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan reportedly sought U.S. government approval from officials including US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for a up-to-$20 billion secondary stock sale to fund AI initiatives and its Ohio manufacturing plans. The government chose not to participate, but Lutnick approved the plan and an anchor investor was lined up to backstop the sale, which will dilute the government’s 9.9% stake. The move signals confidence in Intel’s turnaround and its ability to fund growth with private money, even as shares slipped about 4% on the news.

On Monday the stock closed around $284.02, up 4.6% for the day, while CNBC’s Jim Cramer called the sale a “buzzkill.”

WDC Stake Sale Sparks SanDisk Selloff Amid Debt Move

SanDisk stock fell about 5.7% on February 17 and slid another ~2% in after-hours trading after Western Digital disclosed plans to exit its entire SanDisk stake by selling 7.51 million shares at $535–$555, raising up to $3.09 billion to reduce debt. SanDisk will not receive any proceeds. The sale aims to swap SanDisk shares for debt held by JPMorgan and Bank of America and comes as AI-driven demand supports NAND/DRAM demand. Analysts show mixed views on SNDK, with a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target around $637.33, implying roughly 8% upside from current levels.
