By OnTheRice · Sources and limitations · Report a correction
The deal is complete, while its earnings and cost-saving claims have different timelines. The next useful checkpoint is the combined company’s 3 November guidance.
Source confidenceNot assessed
What’s changing?
Read the first combined guidance as a bridge between the starting cost base, integration spending and savings milestones. Immediate adjusted EPS uplift and fully achieved annual savings are different tests.
Key points
- Skyworks reports the combination is complete.
- Annualized cost synergies of at leastUS$500 million are expected within24–36 months; immediate non-GAAP EPS accretion is an expectation.
- Financial guidance is scheduled for the fiscal fourth-quarter call on 3 November.
- The30 September release had received regulatory clearances but closing remained conditional.
- Nasdaq lists the exact cash-and-stock consideration and QRVO trading halt/suspension schedule.
- Qorvo’s 28 October 2025 deal announcement already contained the same US$500 million and 24–36-month savings target.
What could change this view?
- The issuer’s benefit targets are forward-looking. Integration can disrupt customers, staff or production. Immediate non-GAAP accretion can coexist with integration cash costs; no realized savings are supplied.
Bottom line
Skyworks shareholders, former Qorvo holders and semiconductor customers. Action: QRVO holders should reconcile the corporate action with their broker using 0.960 SWKS shares plus US$32.50 per eligible share. Watch 3 November guidance for combined costs, integration spending and savings milestones. Do not use the old QRVO quote as a current standalone opportunity.
