Rohm, Toshiba, Mitsubishi Elec to begin power chip integration talks, Nikkei says

Rohm, Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric have begun talks to integrate their power semiconductor businesses, which would form the world's second-largest power chip group after Infineon, according to Nikkei. The proposed consolidation could materially reshape competitive dynamics and scale economics in the power-chip supply chain, benefiting the combined entity if completed, but execution and antitrust/approval risks remain key downsides.
