Broadcom 計画(する)s 記録,記録的な/記録する tech を取り引きする Qualcomm 企て,努力,提案 -sources

By Liana B. パン職人 and Greg Roumeliotis

Nov 3 (Reuters) - Communications chipmaker Broadcom Ltd is planning to 明かす a 企て,努力,提案 for smartphone 半導体素子 供給者 Qualcomm Inc by Monday, three sources familiar with the 事柄 said on Friday, an 試みる/企てる to create a 概略で $200-billion company through the biggest 科学(工学)技術 取得/買収 ever.

A tie-up would 連合させる two of the largest 製造者s of wireless communications 半導体素子s for 動きやすい phones and raises the 火刑/賭けるs for Intel Corp, which has been diversifying into smartphone 科学(工学)技術 from its 要塞/本拠地 in computers.

The value of Broadcom's 企て,努力,提案 has not been decided, though an 申し込む/申し出 in the 範囲 of around $70 to $80 per 株 is 存在 熟視する/熟考するd, one of the sources said. At $70 a 株, an 申し込む/申し出 would value Qualcomm at $103 billion.

Qualcomm is not aware of the 詳細(に述べる)s of Broadcom's 企て,努力,提案, and it is far from 確かな whether it will entertain this 取引,協定, the sources said.

"It's a smart move that would make Broadcom into a tech juggernaut," said GBH Insights 分析家 Daniel Ives.

Qualcomm 拒絶する/低下するd to comment, while Broadcom did not すぐに 答える/応じる to a request for comment.

The 企て,努力,提案 comes as Broadcom 計画(する)s to move its (警察,軍隊などの)本部 to the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs from Singapore. U.S. 大統領 Donald Trump commented on the move on Thursday at a White House event where 大統領 Hock Tan 特記する/引用するd 共和国の/共和党の 税金 成果/努力s. It is 現在/一般に 会社にする/組み込むd in Singapore and co-headquartered there and in San Jose, California.

Broadcom's 取得/買収 would be the most ambitious move by Tan, who has turned a small, scrappy chipmaker into a $100-billion company with a string of 取引,協定s, since he took the 舵輪/支配 a 10年間 ago.

The 提案 comes as Qualcomm is trying to の近くに its 未解決の $38-billion 取得/買収 of NXP 半導体s NV . NXP is one of the largest 製造者s of 半導体素子s for 乗り物s and 拡大するing into self-運動ing 科学(工学)技術, and Broadcom also is open to acquiring NXP, によれば one of the sources.

独占禁止の 公式の/役人s, who also would have to 認可する a Broadcom-Qualcomm 取引,協定, are still considering Qualcomm's 購入(する) of NXP. 行動主義者 投資家 Elliott 管理/経営 Corp has taken a large 火刑/賭ける in NXP and has been 押し進めるing for Qualcomm to 支払う/賃金 a higher price for the company, Reuters has 報告(する)/憶測d.

Qualcomm, an 早期に 開拓する in 動きやすい phone 半導体素子s, 供給(する)s いわゆる modem 半導体素子s to phone 製造者s such as Apple, Samsung and LG that help the phones connect to wireless data 網状組織s. Broadcom is also a major 供給者 to many of the same companies for Wi-Fi 半導体素子s.

Broadcom´s Wi-Fi 半導体素子s are essentially a 商品/必需品 and 定価つきの much lower than the modem 半導体素子s.

The only other major 供給者 of high-end 半導体素子s is Intel Corp, which 供給(する)s about half of the modem 半導体素子s in Apple´s iPhones. 購入(する)ing Qualcomm would give Broadcom a much more lucrative line of 商売/仕事 in the 動きやすい phone markets.

Intel 株 fell 1.6 パーセント to $46.34.

Broadcom is considering a cash and 在庫/株 申し込む/申し出 of about $70 a 株, Bloomberg 報告(する)/憶測d earlier. https://bloom.bg/2h8pnlS

Broadcom is looking to 完全にする its $5.5 billion 購入(する) of Brocade Communications Systems Inc while Qualcomm is in the 過程 of の近くにing its 取引,協定 for NXP.

株 of Qualcomm jumped 12.7 パーセント to $61.81, while Broadcom's 在庫/株 climbed nearly 6 パーセント to $273.63 on Friday afternoon. 株 of NXP fell 2 パーセント and Brocade slipped 2.6 パーセント.

株 of Broadcom have 決起大会/結集させるd this year while Qualcomm has fallen, making the 的 more 攻撃を受けやすい. The 今後 price-to-収入s 割合 for Broadcom recently stood at 14.6, わずかに above its 13.5 普通の/平均(する). Qualcomm's 最近の 今後 PE of 15.4 was 井戸/弁護士席 below its 25.9 普通の/平均(する).

Broadcom is working with five 財政/金融ing banks to 申し込む/申し出 a 重要な cash 構成要素 for its 企て,努力,提案, によれば one of the sources.

Qualcomm 直面するs a 多国籍の 合法的な 戦う/戦い with Apple Inc over Qualcomm's licensing 条件 to Apple and Apple is considering dropping Qua lcomm 半導体素子s from its phones.

Qualcomm sells 半導体素子s but also licenses a 特許 大臣の地位 of 関係のある 科学(工学)技術s. It 要求するs 顧客s like Apple and Samsung to license its 特許s if they use its 半導体素子s, typically asking for a 百分率 of the price of the final 装置.

Apple has 反対するd to that practice, however, and it has a closer 関係 with Broadcom than with Qualcomm. If Broadcom were to acquire Qualcomm's 特許 大臣の地位 and change the licensing, it could have far-reaching 影響s on the 動きやすい phone 産業.

Qualcomm and Broadcom have 特許 大臣の地位s in wireless communications that are 大部分は 隣接する to each other, with Qualcomm covering 動きやすい data 網状組織s and Broadcom covering WiFi and Bluetooth, 専門家s said.

隣接する 製品s are often cheaper when 申し込む/申し出d by one company, によれば 基準 経済的な theory, which could be good for phone 製造者s and 潜在的に incline regulators toward 許すing the 取引,協定, said Henry C. Su, a former 連邦の 貿易(する) (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 裁判,公判 弁護士/代理人/検事.

独占禁止の 関心s over a Broadcom-Qualcomm 取引,協定 also may be muted because the companies have few areas of overlap beyond Wi-Fi 解答s for wireless routers, Bluetooth drivers and some RF 半導体s, said 略奪する Lineback, a 研究 分析家 at 集積回路 Insights.

"These companies are leaders in those areas but there are other companies 供給(する)ing them," said Lineback, who 追加するd that 資産 sales in those areas, if needed to 演説(する)/住所 独占禁止の 関心s, would not 影響する/感情 the value of the 取引,協定.

Kevin Krewell, 主要な/長/主犯 分析家 at Tirias 研究, said that the 取引,協定 would still make sense for Broadcom and Qualcomm if divestitures were needed to 演説(する)/住所 独占禁止の 問題/発行するs.

Broadcom may be able to skip review by regulators 関心d about foreign 所有権 of U.S. 資産s, since it is moving its (警察,軍隊などの)本部 to California. Broadcom 計画(する)s to 完全にする that change before 完全にするing any Qualcomm 取引,協定, 避けるing scrutiny by the 委員会 on Foreign 投資 in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs, acc ording to one of the sources.
