Recent performance snapshot

Arm Holdings (NasdaqGS:ARM) has caught investor attention after a strong recent run, with the stock showing a 48% gain over the past month and 72% over the past 3 months.

Those returns add to an 86% move year to date and an 83% total return over the past year. This has prompted closer scrutiny of how current pricing lines up with the company’s fundamentals and growth profile.

At a share price of US$213.33, Arm’s recent 48.3% 1 month share price return and 72.5% 3 month share price return point to strong positive momentum. The 83.1% 1 year total shareholder return suggests that this has been building over a longer horizon as investors reassess both growth prospects and risks.

If Arm’s rapid move has you thinking about where else growth and AI intersect, it may be worth scanning 40 AI infrastructure stocks as a starting point for other infrastructure focused opportunities.

With Arm’s shares near US$213 and analyst targets around US$220, plus solid double digit revenue and net income growth, the key question now is simple: is there still a buying opportunity here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 445% Overvalued

Arm’s most followed valuation narrative pegs fair value at $39.16 per share, far below the last close of $213.33. This creates a wide gap for investors to assess.

In my view, ARM is still in a speculative phase and I’m maintaining my $53B forward value for 2029. In Q2’25 ARM reported revenues of $844M, up 5% YoY. Sales were down 10% from Q1, as the company marked its first sequential drop after Q4’FY23. The company made $3.5B in revenues over a 12-month period, and is up by 18% on a TTM basis. This is close to my revised 16% CAGR estimate, and I maintain my 2029 $7.3B revenue target for ARM. Management issued Q3 and FYE 2025 guidance at the $945M, and $3.95B respective midpoints.

Want to see what kind of revenue path, margin profile, and future earnings multiple underpin that valuation gap? The narrative lays out a full set of growth, profitability, and share count assumptions that materially shape the fair value outcome.

Result: Fair Value of $39.16 (OVERVALUED)

However, there are still risks that could challenge this view, including ARM defending its IP more effectively and deepening long term partnerships such as the agreement with Apple.
