- Co issues downside guidance for Q1, sees EPS of ($0.13)-($0.11) vs. $0.04 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate; sees Q1 revs of $170-180 mln vs. $224.57 mln Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.
- Co cites seasonality and a large customer's inventory correction in Mobile Device products.
- Co issues in-line guidance for FY14, sees EPS to meet or beat $0.49 vs. $0.49 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate. Looking at 2014 as a whole, we expect revenue growth in the mid single digits as strong growth in premium filters is partially offset by significant reductions in lower margin amplifiers and non-strategic foundry revenue. Revenue seasonality should be roughly similar to 2013 with about 40% of revenue coming in the first half of the year. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to grow about 500 basis points from 2013 levels due to these product mix changes and cost reductions in operations. Operating expenses are expected to decline modestly from 2013. We currently believe non-GAAP earnings per share will meet or beat the current analyst consensus of $0.49.

| From: Savant | 2/12/2014 6:09:27 AM | | | | | | | TriQuint Drives LTE Advances with a Growing Line of Unique, High-Performance Filters | As global LTE deployments accelerate, TriQuint leverages its proprietary acoustic wave filtering technologies to solve complex system and chipset challenges for next-gen 4G smartphones and other mobile devices
HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 11, 2014--
TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TQNT), a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, today announced several new premium filters for next-generation smartphones and other mobile devices. The high-performance filters utilize the company's advanced acoustic wave filtering technologies to address some of the industry's toughest LTE interference problems.
The number of cellular and Wi-Fi bands packed inside compact high-end smartphones is skyrocketing to support 2G/3G/4G voice and data services, as well as global roaming. Advanced filter technology is required to mitigate the resulting interference issues. A global spectrum crunch adds to the growing interference problems as governments around the world squeeze new 4G bands with higher performance requirements next to existing bands, often with minimal band guards.
"TriQuint's expanding line of advanced filters solves challenging LTE interference issues for mobile device manufacturers and can provide higher data rates over longer distances for end-users," said Sean Riley, Vice President of Mobile Products. "Our specialty quadplexer also enables carrier aggregation techniques for operators eager to boost spectrum efficiency within their overburdened networks. These filters leverage our proprietary acoustic wave technologies to accelerate the next generation of wireless communications."
TriQuint's specialty filters are capturing numerous design wins in high-volume 4G smartphones from multiple manufacturers, as well as coveted sockets on reference designs from leading chipset suppliers. The new filters reflect the TriQuint hallmark: providing industry-leading performance in the world's smallest form factors. They include the industry's first diplexer for LTE Bands 38 and 40, which is more than 30% smaller than discrete solutions. TriQuint also unveiled the first carrier aggregation module for Bands 2/25 and 4, an integrated quadplexer that is half the size of discrete architectures. The company's new Band 7 LTE duplexer and its Band 41 LTE receive filter both achieve exceptionally low insertion loss to help maximize the incoming signal strength, resulting in higher data throughput over longer operating distances.

| From: Savant | 2/24/2014 9:51:00 AM | | | | | | | TriQuint, RF Micro Agree to Merge -- Update | By Tess Stynes
TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. and RF Micro Devices Inc. agreed to combine in a deal that will form a new company with a broader range of offerings of mobile-related products and services for the network infrastructure and defense/aerospace industries.
Shares of both companies jumped more than 25% in premarket trading.
Under the deal, which is expected to close in the second half of 2014, TriQuint shareholders will swap each share for 1.675 shares of the new company. RF Micro shareholders, meanwhile, will receive one share in the new company for each RF Micro share held.
The companies are calling the deal a merger of equals. The companies said the transaction represents an implied price of $9.73 for each TriQuint share, a 5.4% premium to Friday's close.
The combined company is expected to generate combined revenue of more than $2 billion. As of Friday's close, RF Micro's market value was $1.64 billion, while TriQuint's was $1.48 billion.
RF Micro Chief Executive Bob Bruggeworth will serve as CEO of the new company, and TriQuint CEO Ralph Quinsey will serve as nonexecutive chairman. TriQuint Chief Financial Officer Steve Buhaly will serve as finance chief, and RF Micro CFO Dean Priddy will serve as executive vice president of administration. The board will be made up of 10 directors, with five directors from the existing board of each company.
The combination is expected to achieve at least $150 million in cost synergies, $75 million in annualized synergies exiting the first year after closing and an additional $75 million exiting the second year.
TriQuint has been under pressure from activist investor Starboard Value LP, which in October called on the company to make changes or consider selling its mobile power amplifier business, saying the unit was a drag on the company. Starboard in December nominated its own slate of board candidates, claiming significant changes were needed to turn around the chip maker's "prolonged underperformance." |

Be careful what you ask for.
I think that in tqnt's case the activist stock holders put heat on a management that was carrying an underperforming business.
I'm not surte if it was a management problem or just the business.
I would dare tio say that many onwed Tqnt at a price above the merger pric - so for some it may have been a takeunder.
