Intel Stock Faces 87 Million-Share Risk After SoftBank Deal

Intel investors have another risk to consider after SoftBank revealed losses tied to its 87 million shares in the chipmaker. The Japanese investment giant has already raised $7.4 billion against its entire stake, raising questions about whether those shares could eventually return to the market. According to SoftBank’s November 10 disclosure , the company entered prepaid forward contracts in August. These arrangements allow investors to receive cash upfront in exchange for settling the contracts later, potentially by delivering shares. The contracts cover roughly 1.6% of Intel’s outstanding shares . However, SoftBank has not disclosed a timetable for selling or delivering those shares. The full 87 million should therefore not be treated as confirmed future selling pressure. Why Does This Matter for Intel Stock?
