Apollo reportedly offers Intel a multibillion-dollar investment
By Mike Murphy
Apollo Global Management Inc. has offered to make an investment in Intel Corp. of as much as $5 billion, Bloomberg News reported Sunday.
The report comes days after the Wall Street Journal reported Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) has recently approached rival Intel about a potential takeover.

According to the Bloomberg report, Apollo's (APO) possible equity-like investment - which is not yet a done deal - would be a vote of confidence in Intel's turnaround plans, the slow pace of which has frustrated investors.
Intel declined to comment Sunday. Apollo did not immediately respond when asked for comment.
Intel stock (INTC) has slumped about 57% year to date, as the iconic Silicon Valley company has fallen farther behind its chip-making peers. Last week, Intel said it would spin off its foundry business, following cost-cutting moves in August that included a suspension of its dividend, widespread layoffs and a reduction in capital expenditures.
