# NXP in talks to buy chip developer Ambarella, FT reports

July 31 (Reuters) - NXP Semiconductors (NXPI.O) is in talks to buy chip designer Ambarella (AMBA.O) , the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Shares of Ambarella, with a market capitalization of $3.25 billion, jumped nearly 17%, while NXP fell over 3% following the report.

Here are a few details:

-   A potential deal could bolster NXP’s capabilities in software-defined vehicles, radar and electrification, as Ambarella develops low-power AI chips and software for edge devices such as cameras, vehicles and robotics.
-   Discussions are ongoing and might not lead to a transaction, FT said.
-   NXP and Ambarella did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
-   The development comes after NXP forecast quarterly revenue above analysts’ estimates on Tuesday, signaling strong demand for its chips in automotive, industrial and data-center markets.
