Intel Corp. is holding preliminary discussions with several large investors about raising new capital through an equity infusion, CNBC reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The chipmaker is said to be willing to sell shares at a discounted price to secure the funds. Details of the potential transaction—including the size of the stake, valuation, and timeline—have not been finalized, and negotiations could still fall apart, according to the report. Intel has not commented publicly on the talks.
