Buying companies for billions of dollars only to spit them back out for less money than originally paid for a few years earlier. Seems to be a recurring theme lately. Companies have reached a level of vertical, horizontal, diagonal, spiral, upside-down, zig-zag, front-to-back, back-to-front, mirrored, etc. integration where they cannot effectively expand by integration anymore.

They have to buy the companies to be able to use the IP, they can't not do it.
They absolutely needed FPGA, even AMD had to merge with an FPGA company.
If spinning them off afterwards is better for them financially then that's what they will do.

only to spit them back out

A digestive metaphor is perhaps more accurate if less appealing.

What was needed is absorbed and what is not needed is .... waste.
