U.S. Government to Sell Over 9 Million Shares of GlobalFoundries
The U.S. Department of Commerce is preparing to sell up to 9,907,399 shares in GlobalFoundries (GFS), a semiconductor manufacturer, as revealed by a recent regulatory filing. The government acquired its stake through a $300 million investment aimed at advancing silicon photonics research and development. This sale comes months after the Commerce Department also awarded an additional $375 million to support GlobalFoundries' Quantum Technology Solutions business under the CHIPS program. Despite selling shares, the U.S. government continues its financial backing of GlobalFoundries through other initiatives focused on AI infrastructure and national security technologies like quantum computing. The company's CEO has emphasized a growth strategy centered around AI data centers, physical AI applications in robotics, and resilient supply chains. Investors are now assessing how this partial divestment might affect GFS stock.
