GlobalFoundries Inc ( (GFS) ) has issued an announcement.

On March 11, 2026, GlobalFoundries announced the pricing of a secondary public offering of 20 million ordinary shares at $42.00 per share, all sold by Mubadala Technology Investment Company, a subsidiary of its largest shareholder. The deal, which includes a 30-day option for underwriters to buy up to 3 million additional shares, is expected to close on March 13, 2026, with GlobalFoundries itself receiving no proceeds.

Concurrently, GlobalFoundries agreed to repurchase $300 million of the selling shareholder’s ordinary shares from the underwriters at the same price they pay in the offering, funded with cash on its balance sheet under a $500 million repurchase authorization approved in February 2026. The transaction slightly reduces Mubadala’s stake while signaling GlobalFoundries’ capital-return strategy and balance sheet strength, without affecting the size or economics of the repurchase if the underwriters’ option is exercised.

The most recent analyst rating on (GFS) stock is a Buy with a $58.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GlobalFoundries Inc stock, see the GFS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GFS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GFS is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid financial footing (low leverage and strong cash generation) and a constructive technical trend. Earnings-call signals are supportive (margin expansion, design wins, acquisitions and buyback) but tempered by near-term revenue softness and investment-driven free-cash-flow pressure. Valuation is a clear drag due to the provided negative P/E and lack of a dividend yield.
