Company Report

Raising Arm Holdings' Fair Value Estimate to $66; Shares Overvalued

Arm Holdings does not sell chips, it develops CPU architecture and IP that it licenses to its clients. We believe Arm will remain the dominant architecture in smartphone CPUs, where it has a 99% market share, while maintaining high market share in other mobile chips and battery-powered devices. Arm is also making inroads into the data center, where we expect it will gain market share versus x86, the dominant architecture.

Price vs Fair Value

ARM is trading within a range we consider fairly valued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

We expect Arm will keep gaining market share in the data center from x86 architecture, as its chips consume less power and data centers need to minimize energy consumption. We also expect share gains in automotive thanks to the transition to electric vehicles.

Bears

If Arm manages to charge royalties on a per-device basis, or if it were to meaningfully increase its royalty rates per chip, it could become a double-edged sword. Too much royalty revenue may encourage customers to adopt open-source RISC-V instead.

Company Profile

Arm Holdings is the IP owner and developer of the ARM architecture (ARM stands for Acorn RISC Machine), which is used in 99% of the world’s smartphone CPU cores, and it also has high market share in other battery-powered devices like wearables, tablets, or sensors. Arm licenses its architecture for a fee, offering different types of licenses depending on the flexibility the customer needs. Customers like Apple or Qualcomm buy architectural licenses, which allows them to modify the architecture and add or delete instructions to tailor the chips to their specific needs. Other clients directly buy off-the-shelf designs from Arm. Off-the-shelf and architectural customers pay a royalty fee per chip shipped.
