💻 Arm's new game plan: make its own chips, make more money

Arm Holdings plc’s push into silicon is reshaping its role in the semiconductor ecosystem, with analysts highlighting both strategic positioning and long-term growth potential.

Counterpoint’s Co-Founder and VP of Research, Neil Shah, said Arm is moving directly into the silicon market with its Agentic Generalized Infrastructure (AGI) Central Processing Unit (CPU), targeting the x86-dominated server processor space.

He explained that while the move may appear competitive with Nvidia Corp., Arm is positioning its CPUs to complement heterogeneous infrastructure, where they can work alongside AI Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips.

Shah added that this shift moves Arm from a supporting role into an active chip supplier, expanding its ability to drive revenue growth, profitability, and shareholder returns. Benzinga reports.

💻 Micron’s stock falls into a bear market and it’s now the cheapest in the S&P 500

The combination of a swift recent decline in memory stocks and a rapid rise in Micron Technology’s earnings estimates has made the memory company’s shares incredibly cheap.

Just how cheap? Micron’s stock now trades at 4.5 times expected earnings per share for the next 12 months, based on the consensus estimate among analysts polled by LSEG.

That makes the chip stock the least expensive in the S&P 500 on a forward price-to-earnings basis. MarketWatch reports.
