Arm Holdings IPO Is Too Hot

By -

 


Updated - Oct. 18, 2023
ARM Holdings definitely shouldn't have a $65 price target.

  • Shares of British chip design firm Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) fell nearly 2% on Wednesday even as investment firm KeyBanc Capital Markets started coverage on the stock with an overweight rating.
  • A team of analysts, led by John Vinh, said they believe that Arm, which was spun out of SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY) earlier this year, will "increasingly benefit" from certain design trends in the semiconductor space, including rising chip complexity, due to compensating for the end of Moore's Law.
  • "ARM stands to benefit as computing requirements across mobile, data center, auto, and IoT become increasingly more demanding and complex; this will only increase the industry's reliance on Arm IP, ultimately resulting in royalty rate expansion and market share gains," the analysts wrote.
  • In addition to starting with an overweight rating, the analysts put a $65 price target on Arm, implying nearly 30% upside from current levels.

Finviz Chart

Update - Sept. 14, 2023

Arm hit $65.50 in after-hours trading. The stock valuation has now reached $68 billion. 




  • Arm Holdings plc had a successful IPO, raising over $5 billion for SoftBank and pricing at the top end of the range.
  • The IPO was the largest since Rivian Automotive raised $12 billion, indicating an ominous sign for initial investors.
  • Arm Holdings stock quickly jumped to $60 in initial trading, pushing its valuation to $60 billion and a very stretched 20x sales.
The IPO market has been shut for a while, yet Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) came out with a hot public offering today. The semiconductor stock priced at the high end of the range and jumped in initial trading. My investment thesis is ultra Bearish on the stock, though realizing some hot IPOs can run to extreme valuations.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Update - June 23, 2023 C3.ai has fallen back to earth after the Investor Day meeting. The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
