It’s time to move to the sidelines in Arm stock – analyst says
Arm Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: ARM) ended in the red on Tuesday after a New Street Research analyst issued a dovish call on the chip design company.
Arm shares have more than doubled alreadyPierre Ferragu downgraded the Nasdaq-listed firm this morning to “neutral” citing an “unattractive risk-reward” now that its shares have more than doubled since the start of this year.
He agreed that $ARM could trade at up to 40 times fiscal 2028 EBIT if the semiconductor behemoth performed at the “top of its game” – but opted for a dovish stance since Arm stock is already trading above that level at writing.
New Street Research’s call on the British company arrives only weeks after it reported a blockbuster fiscal third quarter and issued impressive guidance for the future.

We would see a rationale to buy the stock today only if it can deliver a 15% return. Even with a 40x forward multiple in 2027, we don’t see that possible with the stock above $110.
