Who says loan? You could get a bunch of PE involved; they love a smashing together of entities to “create synergies” and “increase pricing power”.
Comment on Qualcomm Reportedly Taps Intel With An Acquisition Offer

There are so many reasons why this won’t happen lmao
Qualcomm has about 70% of Intel’s revenue, and their valuation is only twice as much as Intels. There is no way they could get a loan equivalent to half of their net worth to acquire intel, a company that is having some financial difficulties. Then there are regulators that will very likely block this acquisition. But this rumor made the Intel stock price go up and I made money, so keep the rumors coming!

They don’t mention what the offer is. Very easily could be a stock-based deal where Intel stockholders get a portion of the combined company. That’s how T-Mobile bought Sprint.
