Marvell Technology announces the acquisition of Lumentum for about $115 billion; the deal will be all-stock (4.5 Marvell shares for each Lumentum share) and is expected to close by the first half of 2028, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. Both companies say the merger combines two key suppliers to Nvidia and would raise Marvell’s addressable market to $550 billion. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has reportedly given his “blessing” to the tie-up. The market reacted skeptically: Marvell and Lumentum shares fell sharply as investors voiced concerns that Marvell may be overpaying and taking on too much at once. » Mere på heise.de
