First, we provide you with the self-updating chart, we're simply keeping an eye on this

QCOM QUALCOMM Incorporated daily Stock Chart

Of course, the big story is the all cash $39B take-over of NXP semiconductor. Analysts seem to like the deal, as do investors (based on the stock price reaction). The company promises $500M in synergy cost cutting within two years, but the main idea is to diversify away from saturated mobile phone chips to faster growing automotive and IoT chips.

The shares have already gone up quite a bit this year though..

On the one hand, one can say that at least they're buying growth, rather than let the cash sit in offshore accounts, but these big take-overs have a habit of not delivering on the optimism at the outset. NXP actually has more employees than Qualcomm itself.
