The Nasdaq is lower amid a selloff in semiconductor stocks.

Intel Capital, the venture arm of Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), is standing out as a notable foreign investor in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese AI and semiconductor startups</a>.
This comes as the $147 billion chipmaker is receiving major funding from Washington to compete technologically with Beijing.
Intel's involvement in Chinese tech, particularly AI, has raised national security concerns in the U.S.
Globally, the venture arm has deployed over $20 billion since the 1990s under the leadership of Anthony Lin in San Francisco.
Intel Capital has stakes in 43 China-based tech startups. Since its formation, the venture fund has invested in over 120 Chinese companies, reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/0217cab2-c9a3-4ffa-993a-39874d6d803f" rel="noreferrer noopener">Financial Times</a>.
Earlier this year, Intel Capital participated in a $20 million fundraising for Shenzhen-based AI-Link, a 5G and cloud infrastructure firm and had led a $91 million funding round for Shanghai's micro-optics hardware producer, North Ocean Photonics, in 2022.
In June, the Biden administration announced new rules to limit <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39279319/biden-mulls-new-restrictions-on-chinas-advanced-ai-chips-access-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. financing for Chinese technology</a> with potential military applications. The rules, whose primary target is AI and quantum computing, are expected to be sealed this year.
The company has notably slowed its Chinese investments, completing only three deals since early 2023, FT report says.
Intel Capital's portfolio in China includes 16 AI startups and 15 semiconductor companies, among others, according to the report.

With the new U.S. regulations, Intel might be compelled to divest from some investments, although exemptions for certain venture transactions are being considered.
Meanwhile, Intel secured a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/03/37852118/intels-chips-act-funding-could-mean-profits-for-3-congress-members" rel="noreferrer noopener">substantial $20 billion in U.S. government</a> grants and loans in March to expand its domestic semiconductor production, reflecting the significant support for the U.S. chip industry under the 2022 Chips and Science Act.
Intel's large-scale operations in China, employing around 12,000 people and contributing 27% of its global revenue in 2023, illustrate the intricate ties between the U.S. tech giant and the Chinese market.
Intel stock has lost 0.08% in the last 12 months.
Investors can access the stock via the First Trust Nasdaq Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXL#NASDAQ">FTXL</a>) and Strive&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOC#NYSE">SHOC</a>).

Shares of semiconductor and hardware stocks are trading lower amid a selloff in the sector. Soft guidance from ASML and concerns over China restrictions have pressured the sector today.

The midair incident in January involving a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/36965801/boeing-737-max-door-plug-that-flew-off-alaska-air-flight-missing-4-key-bolts-preliminary-ntsb-report"> door panel blowing off an Alaska Air Group Inc</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) operated Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 737 MAX 9 jet, leading the carrier to ground its MAX 9 fleet has had a domino effect on all aspects of aviation industry.
This single incident has led to inflating costs for those dependent on Boeing and straining airlines&#8217; operations, reported Reuters.
The resulting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39058924/boeings-production-slowdown-sends-shockwaves-through-aerospace-supply-chain">slowdown in Boeing&#8217;s MAX deliveries </a>has hurt earnings for airlines like Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and various suppliers, while also causing inconvenience and stranding passengers.

Southwest Airlines and other carriers have had to fly fewer routes and face increased costs. With a significant impact on its earnings, Southwest has decided to focus on more profitable markets, exiting Bellingham which contributes about 40% of passenger traffic and three other airports.
This disruption has also led to a slowdown in pilot hiring and strained resources for airlines relying on new aircraft.
Boeing, the largest U.S. exporter, employs nearly 150,000 people and supports millions more through its supply chain. The company contributes about $1 trillion annually to the U.S. economy, supporting over 5 million jobs. 
Under regulatory pressure, Boeing has committed to prioritizing safety over speed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39115731/boeings-737-max-production-freeze-remains-as-faa-demands-safety-overhaul">slowing down jet production</a>. 
In the first half of 2024, Boeing delivered 175 jets, a 34% decrease from the previous year, and 46% fewer than its European competitor, Airbus. 
This slowdown has delayed benefits for suppliers and impacted airlines&#8217; preparation and infrastructure costs.
U.S. budget carrier Allegiant Travel Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) reported that delivery delays are costing it about $30 million annually. 
United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) have reduced their hiring plans due to fewer aircraft deliveries.

Securing capital in the cannabis industry can be challenging, but it is achievable. During the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-insider">Benzinga Cannabis Insider </a>event, Titans In Finance, financial experts shared their strategies to help businesses succeed.
The event featured Adam Stettner, CEO of FundCanna, Seth Yakatan, partner at Katan Associates International, and Henry Miller, vice president of Pelorus Capital Group, who offered valuable advice on balancing equity and debt.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Unlocking Equity: A Crucial but Costly Resource</h3>
Stettner emphasized the critical role of equity in the early stages of a cannabis business. &#8220;Equity is the most expensive money you can get in the sense that you&#8217;re giving a piece of your business away that you cannot get back,&#8221; Stettner remarked. He stressed the importance of choosing equity partners who provide more than just funding. 
&#8220;You need to know intimately who you&#8217;re bringing on as your partner, and they need to bring value beyond the money,&#8221; he added. While equity is vital for startups, it comes at a high cost, making it essential to select partners who add substantial value.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tackling Debt: Strategies in a Tight Market</h3>
Yakatan highlighted the current market conditions, which make securing equity challenging and often force businesses to rely on debt financing. &#8220;In most capital market situations that I&#8217;ve been in, and either early-stage biotech or in cannabis, there&#8217;s not a lot of money available,&#8221; Yakatan noted. 
He emphasized that in such conditions, businesses must secure any available funding to remain competitive, even if it comes at a higher cost. &#8220;Sometimes, for me, it comes down to, can you get your company funded, period,&#8221; Yakatan said, pointing out the necessity of securing funding by any means possible in a tight market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Striking a Balance: Using Equity and Debt for Growth</h3>
The event provided a nuanced view of balancing equity and debt to fuel business growth. Stettner explained that while equity is crucial for the early stages when debt might be unfeasible, debt financing becomes more relevant as the business expands. 
&#8220;Early-stage businesses should be raising equity,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but then the debt should be used to fuel growth from there or purchase either hard assets, inventory, equipment, etc.&#8221; Yakatan echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the structure of capital, whether debt or equity, should ultimately support the growth and sustainability of the business.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Future of Cannabis Financing</h3>
Miller gave listeners a glimpse into the future of cannabis financing, highlighting the importance of adapting to market conditions. &#8220;You need to take the capital available because if you don&#8217;t, your competitors might,&#8221; Miller advised. He also stressed the importance of an optimal capital structure that supports long-term success. &#8220;If you take on the wrong type of financing, it may work in the short term, but long term, it doesn&#8217;t set your business up for success.&#8221;
These expert insights offer a clear roadmap for cannabis businesses navigating the complexities of financing. As the industry continues to mature, the strategic use of equity and debt will be vital for sustaining growth and competitiveness.
Looking ahead, the upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference </a>in Chicago on Oct. 8-9 promises to delve deeper into these financial strategies. The conference will be a prime opportunity for industry professionals to gain further understanding and connect with financial experts like Seth Yakatan, providing a platform for growth in cannabis financing.

<h3>Delving Into the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>

Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

SoftwareONE Holding AG&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWONF#OTC">SWONF</a>) stated that Timo Ihamuotila, chief financial officer of Swiss engineering group&nbsp;ABB Ltd&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>), and lawyer Isabelle Romy will step down from its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.softwareone.com/en/media-releases/2024/03/19/softwareone-publishes-2023-annual-report-and-invitation-to-agm" rel="noreferrer noopener">board&nbsp;</a>of directors at the upcoming annual general meeting on April 18.



Neither of the board members will stand for re-election next month as it pitched a compromise in a power struggle with the Swiss IT services provider&#8217;s founding shareholders, as per Reuters.



Regarding the Board of Directors, SoftwareONE says that the request from the company&#8217;s 29%-block shareholders to replace the current Board of Directors, except for Daniel von Stockar, will be voted on.



The Board of Directors rejects such a proposal as it is considered detrimental to SoftwareOne. However, the current board has recommended electing &#8220;a proportionate number&#8221; of the 29%-block shareholders&#8217; nominees.&nbsp;



Also, the Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders re-elect Daniel von Stockar and elect Annabella Bassler and Andrea Sieber as representatives of the 29%-block shareholders to the Board of Directors.



SoftwareONE said that the recommendation is based on the company&#8217;s belief that a balanced Board of Directors is in the best interest of all stakeholders as it would provide continuity to allow the management to stay focused on meeting its growth, profitability and other strategic objectives.



Price Action: ABBNY shares are down 1.45% at $46.83 on the last check Tuesday.
