On October 29, 2025, news emerged that Skyworks, a prominent American manufacturer of RF (radio - frequency) chips, and its counterpart Qorvo have entered into a merger agreement. This transaction will be carried out via a blend of cash and stock payments. Once merged, the new company is projected to be worth a staggering $22 billion. Industry analysts anticipate that the merger will be finalized in the first half of 2027. (Explanation of optimization: - “Reach a merger agreement” is changed to “forge a merger deal”. “Forge” gives a more vivid sense of actively and decisively creating the agreement, which is a more natural and powerful expression in English. - “major U.S. RF chip manufacturer” is refined to “prominent American manufacturer of RF chips”. “Prominent” is a more sophisticated word than “major” to describe a well - known and important company. Using “American” instead of “U.S.” is also a more common and natural way in written English. - “through a combination of cash and stock” is adjusted to “via a blend of cash and stock payments”. “Via” is a more formal and commonly used preposition in business - related contexts, and “blend” is a more vivid synonym for “combination”. Adding “payments” makes the description more complete. - “valued at $22 billion” is enhanced to “be worth a staggering $22 billion”. “Staggering” adds an emotional and impressive tone, emphasizing the large amount. - “expected to be completed” is replaced with “anticipate that... will be finalized”. “Anticipate” is a more formal and business - like verb, and “finalized” is a more precise term than “completed” in the context of a merger.)
