what happened
Seeking Alpha, citing Betaville, reports that a third party may join the potential sale of Ambarella. According to unverified information, the newcomer is one of the largest AI chipmakers in the world, and its name has not been disclosed.
NXP Semiconductors and Qualcomm are currently competing for the company. Betaville had earlier said Qualcomm is working on a potential transaction. The source estimates that the unidentified third party is bigger than NXP and Qualcomm combined.
According to Betaville, the sales process may be in its late stages, and an announcement could come within the next few weeks. Ambarella shares gave back most of an early decline on Friday. In late July they jumped 16% after an FT report about NXP's interest.
why it matters
The rumors are unconfirmed, so Ambarella's shares are likely to react sharply to any new reports about talks. For the semiconductor sector, the key point is that large players are showing interest in smaller specialists in chips for cameras and video processing.
