Intel director Dion Weisler bought more of the chip maker’s stock this week.
Weisler disclosed Friday that he paid $250,000 on Tuesday for 5,147 Intel (ticker: INTC) shares, a per-share average price of $48.57. An Intel director since June 2020, Weisler now owns 17,099 Intel shares, according to a form he filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Intel said Weisler wasn’t available to comment.
A former HP (HP) CEO, Weisler disclosed earlier this week that he paid $250,000 on Monday for 5,015 Intel shares, a per-share average price of $49.85. He was among a group of Intel insiders, including CEO Pat Gelsinger, that bought a total of $2.5 million of stock on Monday.
Intel stock is slightly in the red for the year to date, with a 2% loss, compared with a 22% rise in the S&P 500 index. Intel’s third quarter results, reported last week, missed sales expectations. The company also said its chief financial officer plans to retire in May. A decline in Intel’s PC business was caused by broader component shortages.
