On July 28, SiTime Corp fell 5.5% in pre-market trading, trading at $493.92/share, with turnover of $180,000.
The decline was driven by broad weakness across the semiconductor sector coupled with market concerns over the company's recent large-scale acquisition. Within the sector, Micron Technology fell 6.63%, SK hynix fell 5.05%, Intel fell 4.85%, and Advanced Micro Devices fell 4.36%, reflecting significant sector-wide selling pressure.
Additionally, SiTime officially closed its acquisition of Renesas Electronics' timing business on July 1, with total consideration of approximately $2.77 billion to $3.22 billion. To fund the deal, the company secured a $900 million senior secured bridge loan and a $200 million revolving credit facility from Wells Fargo. The acquired assets are estimated to generate at least $300 million in annual revenue, with SiTime expecting the deal to accelerate its path to $1 billion in revenue. With Q2 earnings scheduled for August 5, the market remains uncertain about near-term integration execution and financial performance.
