Shares of Intel Corporation's Mobileye surged following its first day of trading on the Nasdaq Wednesday under the ticker symbol MBLY.
The autonomous hardware and software unit's initial public offering is selling 41 million Class A shares at $21 per share, above its initial expected offering range of $18 to $20 per share.
| Ticker | Security | Last | Change | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| MBLY | MOBILEYE GLOBAL INC | 31.12 | +0.69 | +2.27% |
Mobileye's IPO raised $861 million valuing the company at $16.7 billion, well below the $50 billion valuation that was initially expected when Intel unveiled plans for the listing last year.
A significant portion of the IPO's net proceeds will be used to repay a note owed to Intel, while the remainder will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Mobileye will have two classes of common stock following the IPO, according to an Oct. 18 regulatory filing. Each share of Class A stock will be entitled to one vote, while each share of Class B will be entitled to ten votes and will be convertible at any time into one share of Class A stock.
Intel will beneficially own all outstanding shares of Mobileye's Class B common stock, representing around 99.4% voting power. The tech giant expects Mobileye to have approximately 46.26 million outstanding Class A shares and approximately 750 million outstanding Class B shares.

In addition to Class A shares being made available to the public, General Atlantic LP has agreed to buy $100 million worth of Mobileye's Class A common stock, or 4.76 million shares, at the $21 per share IPO price.
Mobileye is selling only a 5% stake in itself, less than the typical 10% to 20% stake for most IPOs. This limits the financial hit it will take as a result of its lower valuation.
