Skyworks has acquired Silicon Laboratories Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SLAB) manufacturing infrastructure and automotive divisions. In addition, this sector includes electronic components for multi-media systems in automobiles, battery charging controls, ADAS, lidars and cameras, heaters, etc.
Skyworks will receive a $ 2.75 billion cash payout from the deal. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021 and Skyworks should see an immediate boost in earnings. A Skyworks acquisition that already has wireless chips in its product portfolio would complement the Skyworks offering. Skyworks’ diversity is critical to its sustainability, as it accounts for 56% of Apple’s revenue in 2020.
The Skyworks wireless chipset portfolio includes a wide range of equipment for the Internet of Things (IoT), defence and industrial customers, and home automation devices. But mobile chips still make up the bulk of Skyworks’ sales. This growth in the share of the automotive sector is good news. By 2024, 70% of all new cars are expected to have embedded mobile communications, and autonomous vehicles are expected to require $50 bucks in radio frequency chips.
