Chipbjässen vill slå mynt av krisen – siktar på Wall Street

Chipjätten Global Foundries har ansökt om börsnotering i USA, rapporterar flera medier. Ansökan kommer i en tid då en stor del av världens tillverkningsindustrier haltar till följd av en global brist på chip och halvledare, noterar Bloomberg.

Reuters beskriver Global Foundries potentiella notering som ”en av de hetast eftertraktade i år”.

I ansökan, som lämnades in på måndagen, räknar bolaget med en notering i storleksordningen 1 miljard dollar – motsvarande 8,7 miljarder kronor. Enligt Bloomberg söker ägaren, Abu Dhabis regering, en värdering på runt 30 miljarder dollar.
