Intel rises as report of chipmaker exploring options stokes investor enthusiasm
Aug 30 (Reuters) -Intel's shares rose more than 3% before the bell on Friday, as a reportof the struggling chipmaker exploring options that could include a merger or a splitinduced some investor enthusiasm after one of the stock's worst slumps in decades.
The companyis working with investment bankers and considering various options such as separating its flagship product business fromits money-losing manufacturing unit, Bloomberg Newsreported on Thursday.
Intel is also discussing potentially scrapping some factory projects, the report said.
Building and expanding chip production sites is at the core of Intel's turnaround efforts focused onbecoming a contract manufacturer for other chip firms - a capital intensive undertaking that has strained the company's finances.
Intel's market value wasset to rise bynearly $3 billion on Friday, after fallingbelow the $100 billion mark earlier in Augustfor the first time in three decades.
The report providedsome relief to investors, many of whom see Intel splitting its business as an ideal option as the company trudges through the AI era and trails chipmakers like Nvidia NVDA.O and AMD AMD.O.
Intel's shares have fallen about 60% so far this year, compared with a less than 2% year-to-date drop for AMD. Nvidia's shares have more than doubled in value this year.
Intel's disappointing quarterly report earlier in August, coupled with the company pausing its dividend and announcing layoffsimpacting 15% of its workforce, have deepened the stock's slump.
The stocktrades at about 24 times expected earnings, compared with a price-to-earnings ratio of 30.6 for AMD. Nvidia trades at 33.7 times expected earnings.
