It's official: Broadcom offers 130 billion by Qualcomm

[OyaYansa]

Qualcomm is today one of the most important technology companies in the world, not only for being the manufacturer of Snapdragon processors but also for its modems and telecommunications networks, particularly buoyant in the United States. This justifies Broadcom's immense interest in acquiring it, which has borne fruit in the first official offer: 130,000 million dollars.

It is true that Qualcomm is about to become a little smaller, and is that their agreement to provide components to Apple and the iPhone is about to die. The legal dispute between both platforms is maintained and is getting worse, although the developer of the Snapdragon may have found a new preferred partner: Microsoft and Windows 10 computers.

Among the ups and downs of Qualcomm's business, Broadcom's offer to buy the company may be an attempt to do so at the least possible cost, taking advantage of the fact that now it seems to be going through a small bump. However, authorized sources indicate that the offer will be rejected immediately by the firm based in San Diego.

130,000 million are many millions, although it seems that insufficient. For now Qualcomm is going well and expects its business to grow exponentially in the future, especially with the arrival of 5G and autonomous cars, two fields in which they have invested a lot of money.

No doubt the potential buyers know, hence the offer has been made now and in this way, with all possible advertising. It is not very common for these issues to be aired in public, with an official statement about the price offered included.

In addition, part of the money that Broadcom offers to the shareholders of Qualcomm for their shares would be paid in shares of Broadcom itself, something that does not end up convincing the owners. For each action, a sum of $ 60 in cash and another $ 10 in shares is offered.
