  1. Arm Beats Q2 Targets on AI and Data Center Growth

    Arm Holdings reported record second-quarter revenue of $1.44 billion, topping analyst expectations of $1.38 billion and lifting sales by 27.1 percent compared to the same period last year. The chip designer posted earnings of $0.52 per share, beating consensus estimates of $0.48. Despite surpassing financial projections driven by a surging data center business and artificial intelligence spending, Arm stock fell as investors proved unimpressed by the company sales forecast.

    Why it matters

    The company relies on licensing its processor architectures, which now power a significant portion of cloud deployments. Server-chip architecture accounted for more than 50 percent of deployments at major cloud providers in 2025 and is projected to exceed 60 percent by the end of 2026. This hardware expansion occurs amid broader pullbacks in technology stocks and shifting market valuations tied to artificial intelligence demand.
