No doubt, Qualcomm is one of the topĀ smartphone chipset manufacturers currently in the industry. Chipset’s from this company is preferred by many smartphone makers and Qualcomm grows its portfolio by consistently signing partnershipsĀ andĀ memorandumsĀ with smartphone manufacturers. Despite these feats by Qualcomm, there is still a looming takeover bid by Broadcom. Today, Qualcomm took to its website to reject theĀ $82 per share, and $121 billion in a total bid made last week.
This is the second offer from Broadcom that the company is rejecting as theĀ Board of Directors considers the second offer as inadequate. However, Qualcomm suggested that it go into aĀ with BroadcomĀ āto see if it can address the serious deficiencies in value and certainty in its proposalā. There is obviously a stalemate here becauseĀ we currently don’tĀ know how high Broadcom is willing to go and Qualcomm has not stated what it will take for it to get into bed with Broadcom. Obviously, Qualcomm is willing to close the deal but only for the “right” price. Qualcomm believes that there will be a huge shakeup if this deal pulls through andĀ āirreparably damagedā would occur if theĀ eventual merger agreement fails at the hub of the process.
