Intel Reacquires Apollo Stake In Ireland Fab
Intel said on April 2, 2026 it will spend $14.2 billion to buy back the 49% stake it sold to Apollo Global Management in its Leixlip, Ireland manufacturing facility, taking full ownership of Fab 34. The deal will be funded with cash and about $6.5 billion of new debt, and Intel expects it to boost profit and strengthen its credit profile from 2027 amid rising AI-driven processor demand.
