Morning Report: Intel’s to acquire Mobileeye isn’t its largest pickup to date, and it is merely one more acquisition among dozens for the venerable chip company.

Today’s news that Intel will acquire Mobileye for billions sent the share price of the smaller company up sharply, rising around 30 percent as of the time of writing.

It’s a deal that will materially impact first quarter M&A results. That matters, as the IPO dearth is still on, and big-ticket deals such as this will matter for investors at quarter-end. That Mobileye was a public company, reducing its exit’s impact on private investors to zero, is largely immaterial. Not all tech is venture.

The Mobileye deal isn’t Intel’s largest of all time, or even in . That record belongs to Altera, which Intel picked up for $16.7 billion in cash and stock in June, 2015. The Mobileye acquisition ranks second among Intel deals where terms聽are generally known.

Intel has made at least 86 acquisitions since 1997, including 9 in 2016 and 6 in 2015. The chart looks like this, including a non-rate-adjusted 2017 figure:

The chip company itself is off just over 2 percent in regular trading, bringing its market cap down to just under $167 billion using Google Finance data.

If you observe the chart, it should worry you slightly鈥攑rovided that you are pro-M&A in the tech sector. Unless Intel hits go on another deal this quarter, the company will be on a reduced acquisition page when compared to four of the past six years.
