Yum Brands is selling Pizza Hut to private equity firm LongRange Capital and Yum China for $2.7 billion, refocusing on KFC, Taco Bell, and Habit Burger.

Nvidia raises $25B in bonds; Intel tumbles 7% despite BoA double upgrade

Nvidia priced a $25 billion investment-grade bond offering on June 15, 2026, drawing $85 billion in orders. Meanwhile, Intel shares fell 7% despite a Bank of America double upgrade, as profit-taking pressures chip stocks.

ReadingNvidia's debt raise is a confidence signal, not a funding signal. The real story is that Intel and AMD got repriced lower by the same market that oversubscribed Nvidia 3.4x. Perception gap widened.
WatchIntel's earnings call. Listen for commentary on data center share losses. BoA upgraded; the market still sold. That divergence will clarify on guidance.
