Intel plans to raise $15 billion through a common stock offering as demand for artificial intelligence computing continues to accelerate, the chipmaker announced Monday.

The company said the proceeds will support corporate needs, including capital spending and working capital. Intel identified physical AI, specialized chips and advanced packaging as key growth opportunities.

💡
The announcement sent Intel shares down about 4% in morning trading. The company has significantly increased investment to meet rising demand for AI infrastructure. Intel recently raised its capital expenditure forecast to $20 billion after reporting its strongest revenue growth in nearly 15 years.

Industrywide AI spending is also climbing. Goldman Sachs estimates major technology companies will spend about $765 billion this year and $1.2 trillion in 2027.

Intel shares have surged 175% in 2026, helped by the AI infrastructure boom and the U.S. government’s 10% stake in the company.

The offering also includes an option allowing underwriters to purchase an additional $2.25 billion in shares.
