UK-based chip designer Arm celebrated its Nasdaq debut on Thursday, trading at around $56 per share, indicating a notable 10% surge that underscores investor faith.
With this surge, the company's market capitalization now stands at nearly $60 billion. The bullish sentiment continued to drive shares higher, with a 16% increase in afternoon trading.
This IPO has been long-awaited following a two-year drought in the market. Arm, the AI kingmaker, began trading on Thursday afternoon with 95.5 million shares under the ticker 'ARM.' Its strong opening performance positions it as the largest IPO of the year and the biggest since electric truck manufacturer Rivian in 2021.
Despite being less known to the average American, Arm's products significantly impact their daily lives. Companies such as Apple, Samsung, Nvidia, and Google utilize Arm's designs and instructions to develop their chips. It is a crucial player in producing smartphones, laptops, video games, televisions, and GPS units.
Leading tech companies, including Apple, Google, Nvidia, AMD, Samsung, and TSMC, have expressed interest in acting as cornerstone investors in the offering. This sentiment, revealed in a recent filing, underscores the market's anticipation for Arm's listing. This IPO could be a positive indicator for several tech companies waiting to go public.
Dealmaking has reached its lowest levels in over a decade in recent years due to recessionary fears and high-interest rates. Wall Street perceives Arm's IPO as a bellwether for numerous tech companies eagerly waiting to join the market.
Goldman Sachs reported a decline of 20% in its investment banking revenue during the second quarter of 2023, attributing it to low activity levels and clients' cautious stance in an uncertain economic environment.
However, experts are optimistic about a potential influx of healthy companies making their public debut. A successful IPO by Arm could unlock a wave of new offerings, creating a positive sentiment in the overall stock market.
Dave Sekera, the chief US market strategist at Morningstar Research Services, highlights the significance of this IPO, as its success could pave the way for an array of future listings.
With Arm's successful debut, the floodgates may soon open, bringing forth a wave of new IPOs and driving market optimism. The industry eagerly awaits the company's performance and the potential it holds for a resurgent IPO market.
