퀄컴-인텔 합병... "재정적 위험 높아"

While Qualcomm's potential acquisition of Intel is drawing attention on Wall Street, financial experts warn that the deal could pose significant risks for Qualcomm. According to corporate bond research expert Dave Novosel, it is estimated that Qualcomm would need approximately $110 billion to acquire Intel. To achieve this, Qualcomm might have to take on over $77 billion in new debt, which could significantly increase the company's debt ratio and risk lowering its credit rating to junk status. This situation could increase Qualcomm's future financing costs. On the other hand, some argue that cost savings and synergy effects from the Intel acquisition could offset these financial burdens. However, experts are advising investors to carefully consider the real risks of this transaction.

퀄컴의 인텔 인수 가능성이 월스트리트의 관심을 끌고 있으나, 재정 전문가들은 해당 거래가 퀄컴에게 큰 위험이 될 수 있다고 경고하고 있다. 기업 채권 연구 전문가 데이브 노보셀(Dave Novosel)에 따르면, 퀄컴이 인텔을 인수하기 위해서는 약 1,100억 달러(약 147조 700억 원)가 필요할 것으로 추정된다. 이를 위해 퀄컴은 770억 달러(약 102조 9,490억 원) 이상의 새로운 부채를 떠안아야 할 수 있으며, 이는 회사의 부채 비율을 크게 높여 신용등급이 정크 수준으로 하락할 위험이 있다. 이러한 상황은 퀄컴의 향후 자금 조달 비용을 증가시킬 수 있다. 한편, 인텔 인수로 인한 비용 절감과 시너지 효과가 이러한 재정적 부담을 상쇄할 수 있다는 의견도 있다. 그러나 전문가들은 투자자들에게 이 거래의 실질적인 위험을 신중히 고려할 것을 권고하고 있다.

Another reason Qualcomm shouldn’t buy Intel? Its bonds could reach junk status.

X, AI 훈련용 데이터 제공 허용하는 개인정보 정책 변경

Social media platform X has announced changes to its privacy policy that will allow it to provide user data to third parties for AI model training purposes. The policy, set to take effect on November 15, 2024, is expected to pave the way for external companies to purchase X's data in the form of licenses. The new policy introduces a "third-party collaborators" section, but the specific methods for users to opt out of data sharing remain unclear. This move is seen as a potential new revenue stream for X, which has experienced a decline in advertising revenue. Meanwhile, X has also strengthened penalties for 'scraping', the unauthorized collection of large numbers of tweets. The company has decided to impose a fine of $15,000 for accessing more than one million posts per day. X's owner, Elon Musk, has maintained a tough stance on scraping, and this policy change appears to reflect his attitude.
