- Wednesday, May 11, 2011, 3:14 PM FBR Capital considers recent chip deals for Atheros (ATHR) and National Semi (NSM) a "solid start for tech M&A," citing SLAB, ATML, FCS, IRF, MXIM, ADI, LLTC and ISIL as potential takeover targets. Given techs' increasing confidence about the economy and that balance sheets are flush with cash, "more M&A activity could be on the come." Comment! [Tech, M&A]

- Monday, March 7, 2011, 2:22 PM Atheros Communications (ATHR +0.1%) says it will delay its shareholder vote, which was scheduled for today, on Qualcomm’s (QCOM -1.8%) $3.1B acquisition offer because of a shareholder lawsuit related to the deal.

After CES, FBR Capital is upbeat on Atmel (ATML), Broadcom (BRCM), and International Rectifier (IRF). Broadcom will keep the lion's share of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity sockets through 2012. Atmel is the "clear winner" in touch controllers for tablet PCs and handsets. And IRF has a promising future in the automotive chip business.
Comment! [Tech] - Wednesday, January 5, 2011, 11:54 AM Qualcomm (QCOM +2.1%) CEO Paul Jacobs says the proposed Atheros (ATHR +1.1%) acquisition will take the firm beyond its core cellphone business. He says "we get a set of products, technologies and distribution channels into companies that make devices." These include access point routers, gateways, TVs, Blu-Ray players, and printers. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, January 5, 2011, 9:22 AM The deal joining Atheros (ATHR) with Qualcomm (QCOM) is a "natural fit," according to early reviews. It “makes great sense strategically for QCOM as it would provide QCOM with core competencies in PCs, tablets and WiFi, all of which are at an early stage for QCOM," one analysis says. ATHR +1.4% and QCOM +1.7% premarket, a sign that investors see the deal as good for both sides. Comment! [Tech]

- Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 4:27 PM Just before Qualcomm's (QCOM) rumored $3.5B buyout of Atheros (ATHR) became public, Roth Capital raised its rating to Buy from Neutral. Qualcomm "is poised to outperform," given stabler handset pricing through smartphone adoption and 4G network upgrades. Qualcomm closed at +1.5% and Atheros closed at +18.8%. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 3:33 PM Qualcomm (QCOM +1.2%) is near a deal to buy Atheros Communications (ATHR +18.2%) for about $45/share, or $3.5B, reports say. The deal would represent a roughly 22% premium to where Atheros’ stock traded near midday today. Heavy volume had triggered a circuit breaker halt, but trading has now resumed. Comment! [Tech]
- Monday, January 3, 2011, 4:04 PM Broadcom (BRCM) this week is well poised, given that vendors are expected to use its communications technology in a host of new tablet PC, 4G cellphone, and web-TV models, claims Jefferies & Co. Allegedly, Broadcom gear will power Motorola's (MOT) new "Xoom" Android OS (GOOG) based tablet PC. Broadcom closed at +1.4%. 1 Comment [Tech]
