About Arm Holdings (ARM) – Arm makes money by licensing its chip designs to semiconductor companies and smartphone makers such as Apple and Qualcomm. Arm’s latest advanced chip technology, called Armv9, generates higher royalty rates than its previous Armv8. It is also making progress in the high-end cloud server processor market by selling chip technology to Microsoft and Nvidia.
Strong Q2 Results – Arm Holdings reported better-than-expected earnings results earlier in Nov’25. For Q2, the chip designer reported adjusted earnings per share of 39 cents, compared to Wall Street’s consensus estimate of 33 cents, according to FactSet. Revenue came in at $1.135 billion, which was ahead of analysts’ expectations of $1.06 billion. Arm also gave a strong outlook. It said revenue for the current quarter would be $1.225 billion at the midpoint of its range, versus the $1.11 billion average analyst estimate. “Arm delivers unmatched performance, efficiency, and software breadth across the full range of AI workloads,” the company said in a shareholder letter.
Looking ahead – the company expects Q3 revenue to be $1.23 billion. Profit will be 41 cents a share. Those targets compare with analysts’ average estimates of 35 cents a share on sales of $1.1 billion. The outlook signals that Arm is beginning to see increasing rewards from investment in new technology aimed at winning a place in data centers that are being built to support artificial intelligence computing.
I see the stock at $160-170 in next 3 months.
