Arm beats second-quarter revenue estimates on AI and data-center demand
Management raised its AGI CPU revenue outlook to $2 billion as licensing revenue jumped 50% and data-center royalties doubled.
- On Wednesday, Arm Holdings reported record fiscal second-quarter revenue of $1.44 billion, beating analyst estimates, yet shares fell approximately 3.5% in extended trading following the earnings announcement.
- Chief Executive Rene Haas attributed growth to two engines: the traditional IP licensing business and the emerging silicon business centered on the AGI CPU, both benefiting from AI infrastructure demand.
- While licensing revenue surged 50% to $773 million, royalty revenue grew only 8% to $670 million, exposing a gap between upfront contract bookings and recurring chip sales.
- Investors remain concerned about the company's elevated valuation, with shares trading at approximately 173 times trailing earnings, leaving little room for disappointment despite record quarterly results.
- Management increased its confidence in achieving up to $2 billion in AGI CPU revenue across fiscal 2027 and 2028, supported by purchase orders from multiple customers and secured supply agreements.
