GlobalFoundries, which filed for a U.S. IPO, has tailwinds due to industry capacity shortages and nations’ desires to produce semiconductors at home. But it’s plagued by persistent losses; a reported $25 billion valuation looks a stretch, rob_cyran says.

GlobalFoundries on Oct. 4 filed a draft prospectus for its planned U.S. initial public offering. The chipmaker, owned by Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Investment, has not yet said how many shares it will sell or at what price. Reuters reported in August the company could seek a valuation of about $25 billion.

Revenue in the first half of 2021 was $3 billion, up 13% from the same period last year. The company lost $301 million in the first half, compared with a loss of $534 million a year earlier. In July, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Intel was exploring purchasing GlobalFoundries in a deal that could value the company at $30 billion.

In June, GlobalFoundries said it would invest $6 billion to expand capacity at its factories in Singapore, Germany and the United States.A researcher plants a semiconductor on an interface board in Beijing, China, February 29, 2016.

Oyo Hotels angles for an IPO upgradeA budget lodging group is aiming for premium accommodation in the public market. Revenue at India’s Oyo Hotels and Homes collapsed 69% last year, forcing the company to curtail its dizzying global expansion plans and restructure the business model. An initial public offering at a mooted $11 billion would be a small upgrade from its peak pre-pandemic valuation and imply a lot of faith in young founder Ritesh Agarwal and in a travel rebound.
