Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss the company's most recent earnings, expectations for growth, and more.
Arm Holdings plc met Q4 FY 25 expectations with $1.24 billion in revenue and $0.55 EPS, but stock slid due to cautious Q1 2026 guidance. High valuation and geopolitical risks, particularly with China, contribute to stock volatility despite Arm's strong market position and essential IP. Arm's significant R&D investments led to substantial operating income growth, but management's reluctance to provide full-year guidance adds uncertainty.
Investors are braced for shares Arm Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:ARM) to fall sharply on the back of lower-than-expected earnings after the bell Wednesday. But one leading investment bank is still sold on the chipmaker's long-term growth potential, but warns that limited visibility into customer demand could weigh on performance in the coming year.
I reiterate a 'Sell' rating on Arm, citing its hefty valuation and AI hype, despite strong FY25 growth but weak Licensing business guidance. Armv9 technology drives growth, with adoption by major companies, but tariff and economic uncertainties could impact royalty revenues from the US market. Hyperscalers like Alphabet and Microsoft favor Arm's architecture, potentially boosting future growth, but weak Q1 FY26 guidance and licensing business concerns remain.

Arm Holdings tumbles as its guidance undermines hopes its business model would be resilient against tariff threats.
