2020 is second highest year for semi M&A
Two acquisitions make 2020 the second highest year for semi M&A, says IC Insights.
www.electronicsweekly.com, Sept. 30, 2020 –
Analog Devices' agreement to buy Maxim and Nvidia's deal to acquire ARM raise the total value of M&A deals this year to more than $63.0 billion.
The two huge purchase agreements in July and September have guaranteed that 2020 will become at least the second-largest year in history for semiconductor merger and acquisition announcements.
These two megadeals account for about 97% of the M&A dollar value in 2020.
Until the Nvidia-ARM and Analog Devices-Maxim purchase agreements were struck, semiconductor M&A activity nearly stalled in 2020 with $1.8 billion in semiconductor acquisitions being announced in the first quarter and only $165 million being reached in 2Q20 because the coronavirus pandemic accelerated worldwide, causing businesses and schools to close, people to be quarantined at home, and the global economy to crash.
