Mobileye, the Israeli company that develops autonomous driving and driver-assist technologies and is owned by Intel, hopes to finally hold its long-awaited Initial Public Offering (IPO). Mobileye plans to trade Class A shares of common stock on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol “MBLY.” Intel plans to retain official control of the company, keeping class B shares that carry 10 votes apiece. The Class A shares will come with only one vote each.
Mobileye originally anticipated a valuation of $50 billion from its IPO. But due to the worldwide crisis in the markets, that figure has reportedly dropped to $30 billion. It was for that reason that Intel chose in July to delay the IPO.
At the time, Mobileye Founder and CEO Amnon Shashua explained to the company’s employees in a letter, “The issue is the ‘market condition.’ I do not need to tell you about the status of the stock market – you all see it for yourselves. The problem with the ‘bad market condition’ is not valuation but stability.”

It was in March that Mobileye first revealed plans for what would, in effect, be the company’s second IPO. In 2014 the company held its first IPO on the NYSE, raising about $1 billion at a market cap of $5.3billion. At the time this made it the most successful Israeli IPO of all time.
In 2017, Intel bought out the company for $15.3billion.
Founded in 1999, Mobileye offers autonomous driving and driver-assist technologies, harnessing “world-renowned expertise in computer vision, machine learning, mapping, and data analysis.” The idea is simple: warning systems alert drivers of a possible collision. Eventually, the idea is to have entirely self-driving cars that can avoid accidents entirely.

Mobileye says that its technology enables self-driving vehicles and mobility solutions, powers industry-leading advanced driver-assistance systems, and delivers valuable intelligence to optimize mobility infrastructure. Mobileye pioneered technologies such as True Redundancy sensing, REM crowdsourced mapping, and Responsibility Sensitive Safety (RSS) technologies that are driving the ADAS and AV fields towards the future of mobility.
Mobileye had revenue of $1.4 billion in 2021, up 39% from 2020.
