According to JJ Park, JJ Park, Morgan Datong, Samsung Electronics may be prepared for acquisition.

He pointed out that there is a $ 14 billion in cash on the Samsung balance sheet, and the liabilities is less than 20 billion US dollars. Companies that are about 100 billion dollars can get a lot from it. JJ Park, Morgan Datong analyst, believes that Samsung will find a car semiconductor company headquartered in the US.

According to reports, Samsung is interested in NXP semiconductor. This news was opened earlier this year. It is meaningful to reach such an agreement on Samsung. But he said that NXP is not the only semiconductor manufacturer who considers Samsung.

He believes that Texas Instruments, Microchip Technologies and Analog Devices are Samsung candidates. However, Park thinks STMicroelectronics or Infineon Technologies is not a suitable choice.

All of these companies not only sell automobile semi-finished products, but also for chip companies, the car is a large terminal market. For example, 10% of NXP is from German auto parts company Continental AG. Infineon comes from Continental, Robert Bosch and Denso accounts for about 10% of total sales.

He also pointed out that any transaction would be a big event. The average market value of the six potential goals mentioned previously was about $ 68 billion. However, it seems that these days are happening in large-scale transactions. In 2020, British Weida bid is approximately $ 35 billion to acquire ARM. Advanced Micro Devices Bid price of $ 33 billion acquisition of Xilinx, Analog Devices, a bid price of 20 billion US dollars to acquire Maxim Integrated Products.
