Intel Corporation is facing significant financial challenges, including a $53 billion debt and declining profits, which have led to reliance on government subsidies and private financing. The company has struggled to keep up with competitors like Nvidia in the AI chip market. For 2023, Intel reported full-year revenue of $54.2 billion, a 14% decline from the previous year. Recently, Intel announced that it is turning its foundry division into an independent subsidiary, a move seen as a partial solution to its problems. Despite these efforts, rumors of a potential takeover are circulating, with companies like Apollo Global Management and Qualcomm showing interest. Intel's stock has been experiencing increased activity and has risen to a two-month high, possibly in anticipation of a buyout.
