  • Summary

  • This is Zack Fuss. Today, we're breaking down Arm Holdings. Arm designs the architecture powering billions of devices, from smartphones and data centers to IoT devices and automotive systems. In this episode, we'll explore Arm's unique value proposition and how it thrives as a licensing giant in a market dominated by leading-edge manufacturers. To break down Arm, I am joined by Jay Goldberg, who is the CEO and lead analyst at D2D Advisory, a technology and strategy consultancy. We discuss its business model, the partnerships that drive its growth, and its role in enabling companies like Apple, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm. We will also unpack Arm's business history, including its acquisition by SoftBank, its failed takeover by NVIDIA, and its IPO earlier this year. Arm currently sports a $150 billion market cap with sales approaching $5 billion, a rather robust 30x revenue multiple. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Arm.
