Arm will be listed under the ticker ARM, with American depositary shares representing its ordinary stock.
In the filling, ARM said it had revenue of $2.68 billion for the fiscal year ended in March 2023, which was down slightly from the prior year’s $2.7 billion. For the same fiscal 2023 period, the company generated net income from continuing operations of $524 million down from $676 million the prior year.
SoftBank acquired Arm for $32 billion in 2016. In 2020, the company reached an agreement to sell Arm to Nvidia , but that deal was terminated two years later after it faced opposition from global regulators and other chip companies. Technology and IPO observers will be closely watching the listing, given the general freeze in tech stock debuts over the last year.
Arm makes money from licensing its chip architecture and other chip design technologies to semiconductor companies and hardware makers. The company says its technology powers chips inside nearly every smartphone, which would include Apple’s iPhone and most Android-based devices.Barclays, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan, and Mizuho are acting as joint managers for the proposed offering.
