On July 1, SiTime Corp fell 5.09% in regular trading, trading at $713.68/share, with turnover of $47.30 million. The stock had earlier risen nearly 5% intraday before reversing sharply lower.
On the news front, SiTime announced the formal completion of its acquisition of certain assets related to Renesas Electronics' timing business. The acquired assets, including Renesas' clocking brand, are expected to generate at least $300 million in revenue within one year post-closing. SiTime expects the deal to accelerate its path toward $1 billion in annual revenue. The company funded the $1.5 billion cash portion through a $900 million bridge loan from Wells Fargo and cash on hand, while also issuing approximately 4.13 million shares. Concurrently, SiTime disclosed a new $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo as administrative agent.
The acquisition had been widely anticipated since its announcement in February, with the stock appreciating significantly in the lead-up. The formal closing triggered a classic sell-the-news reaction as investors locked in gains on the realized catalyst.
