Not surprised, the FTSE 100 hasn’t moved substantially in decades. It’s like an old person dividend etf.
Not a ‘UK’ chip giant any more is it. Just think of our microprocessor security strategy, we could of had a good one.
Of course, the US is the natural home for tech stock listings.
Also ARMs days as more or less the only player in town when it comes to RISC processors might slowly coming to an end. Intel has been investing in the open-source RISC-V architecture [https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/17/intel_riscv_contributions/](https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/17/intel_riscv_contributions/) (pretty clear they’d like more of the mobile CPU market). Then of course there is China, they can either continue using the ARM architecture with the chance of the US telling them to stop or they can make their own RISC-V chips.
BTW I’m not an expert in the area, I just take an interest.
One of the few good things Boris was working on was getting this listed on the LSE. Once he resigned they pulled out. He was their main liason for getting listed in the UK.
Such a shame.
Another reason why all my investments are in US companies
Good for them. Leave Britiain behind. A dull, old-economy backwater fit for the scrapheap.
lol ‘UK’ chip giant.
Could have been something huge for the UK, sold off as if it didn’t matter.
So many wasted opportunities for hi tech industry in the UK over the years.
UK? Theresa May allowed it to be sold off to the Japanese, who then sold more than half of it to China. Typical UK selling off anything of value, strategic long-term interests be damned.
The one that got away. The one that got *given* away.
No other nation would allow a company like ARM to be sold off.
reading about the UK and the semis industry in the 1960s and 1970s is a depressing read
