Skyworks and Qorvo win final Chinese approval
China's sign-off removes the last regulatory hurdle to the proposed merger, clearing the path toward transaction close and potential equity re-rating.

Skyworks and Qorvo received final Chinese regulatory approval on September 30, 2026, officials said, clearing the last regulatory hurdle to their proposed merger and paving the way for closing.

China grants final approval
Officials said Chinese authorities approved the transaction on September 30, removing the remaining domestic clearance that had stood between the parties and a formal close. The approval follows earlier clearance from other jurisdictions and, according to filings, completes the multijurisdictional review process that regulators require for large cross-border combinations.
If the companies move to file closing paperwork promptly, the immediate equity question is how investors will reprice Skyworks and Qorvo shares once the deal is legally completed. The merger would combine two leading radio-frequency semiconductor suppliers, which could narrow the vendor set for smartphone and telecom-equipment makers and alter procurement dynamics across that supply chain.
Watch for filings and closing notices; if the parties follow a typical post-approval timetable, the transaction could be completed by October 14, 2026. That date will be the key near-term trigger for final accounting treatment, integration guidance and any equity listing changes that directly affect shareholders.
