It was recently decided to acquire a 25% stake held by the Vision Fund before Arm resumes its listingGain 100% controlAfterwards, SoftbankEarlierOfficially submitted to the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in the United StatesListing application planning documents, and hopes to maintain "ARM" as the stock trading code.
According to the document, companies including Amazon, Alphabet (Google), AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm, and Samsung are currently building products based on the Arm architecture, and the company has also licensed its technology to Apple for processors. Meanwhile, Arm's recent financial report shows revenue reaching $26.8 billion and net profit reaching $5.24 million. Furthermore, the company plans to ship over 2023 billion processors worldwide in fiscal 300, all of which will use technology licensed from Arm.
After Softbank obtains 100% control of Arm, it is expected that Softbank will be able to reduce the proportion of shares it sells, thereby maintaining a higher level of control over Arm. At the same time, it will also prevent Intel, Qualcomm, Amazon and other companies from increasing their voice by acquiring more Arm shares, thereby excessively interfering with Arm's future development.
Arm did not specify its target share price in its official IPO filing, so it's currently impossible to estimate its market capitalization upon relisting. Current market estimates place Arm's market capitalization at approximately $640 billion, primarily based on NVIDIA's original $2020 billion acquisition of Arm in 400, along with factors such as currency exchange rates, market capitalization, and inflation, as well as Arm's future growth.
