Arm Stock Rallies After Revenue Rises, Company Swings to Profit



Key Takeaways

  • Shares of Arm Holdings rallied Thursday, reversing losses in late-Wednesday trading after the company’s results landed.
  • The chip designer beat expectations with its revenue and earnings, but its full-year sales outlook underwhelmed.
  • Analysts at Barclays raised their price target, calling for double-digit growth next year.

Arm Holdings (ARM) shares climbed Thursday, reversing course after the stock initially dipped following the company’s fiscal second-quarter earnings results. 

The chip designer posted revenue and net income that beat expectations, but its sales outlook disappointed, initially sending shares more than 4% lower.

Revenue rose 5% year-over-year to $844 million, while net income swung to a profit of $107 million, or 10 cents per share, from a loss of $110 million, or 11 cents per share.

However, the midpoint of the company’s full-year revenue forecast of $3.8 billion to $4.1 billion, unchanged from the quarter prior, was lower than analysts projected.

Analysts at Barclays raised their price target to $145 from $125, saying they expect double-digit growth in 2025 as clients grow and prices increase for customers who have moved to Arm’s v9 central processing unit designs.a

The stock finished up about 4%. Shares of Arm have more than doubled in 2024.
