See our latest analysis for Arm Holdings.
At a share price of $148.93, Arm has seen strong momentum recently, with a 30 day share price return of 24.01% and a 90 day share price return of 33.22%.

Most Popular Narrative: 280% Overvalued
According to Goran_Damchevski, the most followed valuation narrative places Arm’s fair value at $39.16, well below the recent close at $148.93.
ARM is a leader with a saturated number of customers limiting future growth. It is in a highly competitive landscape and needs to innovate beyond patent expirations in the 2030s.
Curious how a fast growing chip designer still lands on a far lower fair value? The narrative leans heavily on tempered growth, margin ceilings and disciplined share count assumptions.
Result: Fair Value of $39.16 (OVERVALUED)

However, if ARM’s AGI CPU gains broad AI traction or if longer-term deals like Apple’s post-2040 agreement expand to more customers, this 280% overvaluation case could be challenged.
