• That’s an embarrassing discount to the $50 billion value that had once been floated, and little more than half the $30 billion that was being discussed just a month ago

• The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has lost a third of its value, public-offering volume has plummeted over 90%, and the majority of last year’s IPO crop is underwater. All the signs are there for any right-minded chief executive to hold off on a share sale. Yet Intel Corp. is still bringing Mobileye Global Inc. to market.
