Irvine-based Skyworks, a global leader in high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, and Qorvo, a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, announced a cash and stock merger transaction that values the combined business at $22 billion. The deal, pending regulatory approvals, is expected to close in early 2027.

“This combination marks an important milestone for our industry and for Skyworks,” said Phil Brace, chief executive and president of Skyworks, in a statement. “Combining Skyworks’ and Qorvo’s complementary portfolios and world-class engineering teams will strengthen our ability to meet growing customer demand across mobile and diversified Broad Markets. With enhanced scale, a more diversified customer base and operational synergies, we can bring even greater innovation to our customers and sustainable value to our shareholders.”

With a combined pro forma revenue of approximately $7.7 billion, the combined company expects to be better positioned to compete against larger players. It will bring together approximately 8,000 engineers and technical experts as well as over 12,000 issued and pending patents, enabling faster development of advanced, system-level solutions and unlocking new design-win opportunities to meet growing customer demand.
