Charles Shi has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Arm’s ability to deliver a quarterly performance that exceeded expectations and to raise guidance despite a mixed near-term outlook. He views the ongoing strength in cloud and AI-related demand, together with higher anticipated licensing growth, as more than offsetting the slowdown in smartphone-related royalties.

Shi also highlights that management continues to increase its addressable opportunity in AGI CPUs, with demand estimates now above $2B and plans to refine supply commitments in coming quarters. With FYE27 projections largely intact, newly introduced FYE29 estimates, and a sustained price target of $255, he believes Arm’s long-term growth profile and execution support maintaining a Buy recommendation.

In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $360.00 price target.
