Skyworks Secures All Approvals; Qorvo Merger to Close Oct. 5
SWKS sits 70% above its 52-week low of $51.93.
Summary
Skyworks has received all regulatory clearances for its cash-and-stock acquisition of Qorvo and expects to close on or about Oct. 5, 2026. This removes the last major deal risk and sets a firm timeline for completion. The merger, first announced in Oct. 2025, will create a larger RF semiconductor player with significant synergy potential. Traders should note the near-term closing date, which may trigger index rebalancing and merger-arbitrage unwinds. The company previously suspended its dividend and authorized a $2B buyback to fund the deal.
