ATTRACTIVE

84

out of 100

Arm Holdings Plc grows profitably: it increases revenue at double digits (16.2% a year) without giving up profitability (net margin 18.4%). On fundamental quality it scores 84 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +16.2%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Arm designs the world's most-used chip architecture: nearly every smartphone runs on processors based on its designs. It manufactures nothing; it licenses its IP and collects a small royalty on every chip sold — a very high-margin model.

What will shape its future

  • Its push into data centers and AI: cloud giants design their own CPUs on Arm's architecture.
  • Royalty per chip: charging more for newer designs (v9) is its main growth lever.
  • Competition from RISC-V (an open, free architecture) and its exposure to the smartphone cycle.
