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 September 26, 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 $27.7 billion as of September 26, 2026 ($21.8 billion as of December 27, 2025). For economically hedged investments still held at the reporting date, we recorded net losses of $267 million in the third quarter of 2026 and net losses of $480 million in the first nine months of 2026 (net losses of $47 million in the third quarter of 2025 and net gains of $416 million in the first nine 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 amortized cost basis of our unhedged investments was $11.9 billion as of September 26, 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 September 26, 2026, was as follows:
1 Instruments not due at a single maturity date are composed of money market fund deposits, which are classified as either short-term investments or cash and cash equivalents.
Equity Investments
1 A significant portion of our marketable equity investments are subject to contractual 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.
The components of gains (losses) on equity investments, net for each period were as follows:
1 Unrealized gains (losses) on non-marketable investments include observable price adjustments and our share of equity method investee gains (losses) and certain distributions.
During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2026, we recognized upward observable price adjustments for our non-marketable equity investments of $370 million and $531 million, respectively, within gains (losses) on equity investments, net. During the three months ended September 26, 2026, $351 million of the adjustments related to two investees, which was partially offset by equity method investment losses.
In the first nine months of 2025, we recognized upward observable price adjustments for our non-marketable equity investments of $486 million within gains (losses) on equity investments, net, of which $396 million related to a single investee.
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 $3.1 billion as of September 26, 2026 ($3.2 billion as of 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 $126 million in the third quarter of 2026 and $446 million in the first nine 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.
