Summary
Skyworks Solutions has cleared the final U.S. regulatory hurdle for its merger with Qorvo. The Federal Trade Commission allowed its timing agreement to expire on August 1, 2026, without taking further action, and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period has expired. This removes U.S. antitrust obstacles to the transaction.
Two foreign antitrust approvals remain outstanding: China's State Administration for Market Regulation and South Korea's Korea Fair Trade Commission. The company reports it is working constructively with both agencies and that all foreign investment approvals have been cleared.
Skyworks expects the merger to close within calendar year 2026 and is preparing for a potential close as early as within its fiscal year, though it cautions that no assurances can be given on this timeline. The transaction cannot close until China and South Korea approve.
