Why shares are sold

When a company needs a lot of money for big plans, like building new factories, one common way is to sell more shares. This means new investors buy a small piece of the company, and in return, the company gets the cash it needs to grow. Intel is doing this to fund its ambitious chip manufacturing expansion.
