Arm Holdings Plc (ARM) witnessed a remarkable surge of more than 20% in after-hours trading on Wednesday following the release of its robust earnings report.
The British semiconductor designer reported strong fiscal 2024 third-quarter performance, with adjusted earnings per share climbing to 29 cents from 22 cents compared to the previous year.
Moreover, revenue saw a significant uptick of 14%, reaching $824 million, driven by the company's expanding presence in the cloud and automotive sectors, coupled with the increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) processing.
Exceeding Expectations and Optimistic Outlook
Arm's stellar performance in November surpassed the company's guidance in terms of both top- and bottom-line figures.
The company attributed its exceptional licensing business results to the heightened demand for advanced Arm CPUs, particularly as companies ramp up investments in AI across various industries. License revenue experienced a notable 18% increase over the previous year, reaching $354 million.
According to Investopedia, Arm anticipates fiscal fourth-quarter revenue to range between $850 million and $900 million, potentially propelling full fiscal 2024 revenue to as high as $3.2 billion. This projection surpasses the company's initial guidance provided in November, indicating a bullish outlook for future growth.
Arm Stocks Background

According to the Wall Street Journal, the company's initial public offering marked the largest in the U.S. since 2021, underscoring investor confidence in its prospects. This also shows that the stock market is on a positive trend thanks to newcomers in the industry, such as AI tech and Blockchain.
Following the release of the earnings report, Arm shares surged to $94.00, marking a remarkable 22% increase from Wednesday's closing price. At one point during after-hours trading, the stock witnessed an impressive surge of up to 40%, reflecting investor enthusiasm and confidence in Arm's performance and future prospects.
