Arm Holdings, based in Cambridge in the UK, designs processor architectures and sells licenses for them. Chipmakers build processors for smartphones, data centers, cars and connected devices on this basis and pay royalties per chip. The majority owner is Japan’s Softbank. Traded here as a US depositary receipt. As of Oct 16, 2026
Arm develops computing platforms for processors and licenses them to other companies. Semiconductor companies, device makers and cloud providers pay a fee to design their own chips using the designs. In addition, Arm receives a royalty for almost every chip shipped with its technology. In the fiscal year to March 2026, a large share of these royalties came from smartphone processors. The business is divided into areas for smartphones and connected devices, for cars and robots, and for data centers and networks. In March 2026 Arm presented its first self-designed chip, the AGI CPU; production is to start by the end of 2026.

Fiscal year 2026 (Apr 1, 2025 – Mar 31, 2026): Revenue 4.9B USD · Net income 904.0M USD · Net margin 18.4%
Where the money of a fiscal year goes and how margins, returns, balance sheet, cash flow and share count developed over up to 10 years. Each chart has one sentence saying what the trend shows.

Net income is above operating income (e.g. a tax benefit, gains on investments or securities).

20-F filer or other currency: earnings per share and share count do not reliably match the price of the US listing (ADR) – so there is no price-based valuation here.
Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. This symbol has no sector assignment – lights with a sector comparison stay gray or use only the basic rule.
+22.5% per year, last 3 years
What does this mean? Revenue: over 3 years it grew by 22.5% per year on average. Comparable values for a sector comparison are missing.
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
+19.9% per year, last 3 years
per share: +18.6% per year (3 years, split-adjusted)
What does this mean? Total net income: over 3 years it grew by 19.9% per year on average. Comparable values for a sector comparison are missing.
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
18.4% last fiscal year
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 18.37 USD remained as profit. Comparable values for a sector comparison are missing.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
– latest balance sheet
What does this mean? No usable figure: reported financial debt or positive equity for the same balance sheet date is missing.
Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.
– Dividend / earnings per share
What does this mean? The loaded SEC filings of the last two fiscal years contain no dividend per share. Either the company pays none, or it reports it under a different tag.
Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.
5 of 5 fiscal years with a profit
What does this mean? In 5 of the last 5 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. There were no losses in this period.
Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).

How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
