Short-term Investments
Short-term investments include marketable debt investments in corporate debt, government debt, and financial institution instruments, and are recorded within cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Government debt includes instruments such as non-U.S. government bills and bonds and U.S. agency securities. Financial institution instruments include instruments issued or managed by financial institutions in various forms, such as fixed- and floating-rate bonds, money market fund deposits, and time deposits. As of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, a substantial majority of time deposits were issued by institutions outside the U.S.
The fair value of our economically hedged marketable debt investments was $13.0 billion as of March 28, 2026 ($21.8 billion as of December 27, 2025). For economically hedged investments still held at the reporting date, we recorded net losses of $181 million in the first three months of 2026 (net gains of $190 million in the first three months of 2025).
Our remaining unhedged marketable debt investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The adjusted cost of our unhedged investments was $15.5 billion as of March 28, 2026 ($10.6 billion as of December 27, 2025), which approximated the fair value at each date.
The fair value of marketable debt investments, by contractual maturity, as of March 28, 2026, was as follows:
1 Instruments not due at a single maturity date is composed of money market fund deposits, which are classified as either short-term investments or cash and cash equivalents.
Equity Investments
1 The substantial majority of our marketable equity investments are subject to trading-volume or market-based restrictions, which limit the number of shares we may sell in a specified period of time, impacting our ability to liquidate these investments. Certain of the trading-volume restrictions generally apply for as long as we own more than 1% of the outstanding shares. Market-based restrictions result from the rules of the respective exchange.
The components of gains (losses) on equity investments, net for each period were as follows:
1 Unrealized gains (losses) on non-marketable investments includes observable price adjustments and our share of equity method investee gains (losses) and certain distributions.
Altera
In the third quarter of 2025, we closed the sale of Altera and retained a 49% interest in the business (refer to "Note 9: Acquisitions and Divestitures" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). The carrying value of our non-marketable equity investment in Altera is classified within equity investments in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and was $3.2 billion as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025.
We provide semiconductor wafer manufacturing services to Altera, a related party, in accordance with a wafer manufacturing and sale agreement, for which we recognized revenue of $139 million in the first three months of 2026. Additionally, and in connection with the divestiture, we have been and will be reimbursed for costs that we incur on behalf of Altera for certain corporate services delivered under a transition services agreement, which may include information technology, finance, supply chain, and other services provided on an interim basis. The majority of such corporate transition services ceased as of March 28, 2026.
