Texas Instruments expects the transaction to generate around $450 million in annual manufacturing and operational synergies within three years after closing and to be accretive to earnings per share in the first full year post-close, excluding transaction-related costs. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and Silicon Labs shareholder approval.
