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.

Occidental: Still Producing Too Much Oil

Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.

ChargePoint: Low Quality Beat

By -

  ChargePoint beat FQ2'22 revenue estimates, but the losses are mounting. The company guided up FY22 numbers partly due to acquisitions. The stock still trades at an estimated 21x FY23 number leaving limited upside for the stock and reinforcing why venture funds sold 13.8 million shares. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Now investors have to confront the valuation divide and deal with the past insider sales likely leading to future sales on any stock rallies.
