Q-N will cause huge opportunities for synergies and cost reductions.

Even if Q does not take over N, cost reduction will happen on both companies. They have already planned everything, and they just wait for China. Please note that N had bought FSL in 2015 and "real opex cuts" have not happened yet on their N side as well, because FSL takeover of N was part of the plan of Q. After it is clear with Q-N (go or no go) they will push the button on both sides. Probably this year.
I think the current situation is not that sustainable on both companies because it is quite possible that this unclear situation would cause a tense work atmosphere.
