Soros Fund ramps up Intel stake to over $340 million in third quarter
Nov 13 (Reuters) - Soros Fund Management, the family office of billionaire George Soros, significantly raised its stake in Intel INTC.O in the third quarter, a regulatory filing showed on Friday.
Here are more details:
The investment firm built a 2.83 million-share position valued at $340.3 million as it boosted its exposure to the major PC chip supplier
The fund had held just 100,000 Intel shares at the end of June, according to its previous quarterly disclosure, marking one of the most striking changes in its portfolio
Intel's stock took a hammering late last month after the chipmaker warned of a severe cash burn this year due to the faltering PC market, bottlenecks in manufacturing and heavy spending on expanding production
Still, the stock is up nearly 62% year to date, as the company benefits from surging demand for AI data-center CPUs
The fund cut its stake in Apple AAPL.O by 25.7% to 393,680 shares and in ON Semiconductor ON.O by 92.7% to 16,594 shares
The disclosures on Friday were made through the so-called 13F regulatory filings, which show investment firms' portfolios and are closely watched for trends even though the data is released with a delay
