TOKYO -- Renesas Electronics has made another big acquisition, one that has analysts questioning whether the move will pay off.
The Japanese chipmaker announced on Feb. 8 that it will buy U.K. chip designer Dialog Semiconductor for 617.9 billion yen ($5.86 billion) in its third strategic purchase after two major acquisitions in 2017 and 2019, which cost the company about 1 trillion yen.
