Today, shares of Arm Holdings (ARM) were on an upward trend, as one financial analyst expressed a more optimistic outlook for the company.
This morning, BNP Paribas upgraded its assessment of the CPU architecture specialist from ‘neutral’ to ‘outperform’, and increased its projected price range from $110 to a potential $210.
As a result, the stock was up 4.2% as of 1:11 p.m. ET.
Arm moves into ASICs
The bank enhanced the stock assessment following analyst David O’Connor’s statement that their innovative ASIC (specialized computer chips) business has the potential to nearly double the firm’s operational earnings, provided they manage to secure a mere 7% share of the market opportunity.
As a fervent investor, I wholeheartedly agree with O’Connor’s perspective – there remains a substantial potential for growth in this stock! The undervalued ASIC product line is a testament to this.
The analyst has significantly increased the estimated value for Arm’s shares, suggesting a potential growth of approximately 40% from its current market price.
The company is delving deeper into creating custom chips, with Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) being its first significant client back in February. This move signifies a change from their traditional business approach of licensing their design architecture, yet it opens up a vast market for them. With this shift, the company is seen as having growth potential and investors are valuing it highly.
Can Arm keep climbing?
The cost of this armory’s stock is quite high, currently trading at a price-to-sales ratio of 38, yet it warrants a premium. Not only does it consistently demonstrate robust growth and outstanding profit margins, but its unique business model, which involves licensing energy-efficient CPU technology for batteries, grants it a competitive edge in sectors such as smartphones and progressively, data centers.
Furthermore, the business derives income not only from one source but also from licensing fees and royalties. This diverse income stream guarantees a continuous flow of revenue for quite some time. The company appears to be thriving, however, Arm’s expansion may face challenges due to its high valuation.
