"Intel's Foundry Business: Navigating Losses and Turnaround Plans"

Intel's shares dropped nearly 7% as the company's foundry business reported operating losses of $7 billion in 2023, highlighting the significant gap in profitability compared to rival TSMC. The U.S. chipmaker has been investing billions to regain its position as a leading chipmaker, but faces substantial headwinds. Intel plans to spend $100 billion on plants in the U.S., aiming to break even in its contract chip-making business by 2027. However, it expects the foundry business to have a gross margin of about 40% by 2030, trailing TSMC's 53% margin.

Intel's $33 Billion Expansion in Germany Sets New Milestone

Intel will invest over $33 billion to build two chip-making plants in Magdeburg, Germany, as part of its expansion push in Europe. The German government has agreed to provide nearly $10 billion in subsidies to the US chipmaker, more than the $6.8 billion initially offered. The investment marks Intel's third big investment in four days, following plans for a $4.6 billion chip plant in Poland and a $25 billion factory in Israel. The first facility in Magdeburg is expected to enter operation 4-5 years after the European Commission's approval of the subsidy package.
