Arm CFO: Huge Financial Growth Forecasted with $25B Revenue and $9+ Profit Per Share by 2031

"Putting those together, we have a consolidated business with $25 billion of revenue, industry-leading blended gross profit and operating margins, and more than $9 of non-GAAP EPS in FY 2031. This is not a story of choosing between IP and chips. It's a story of combining a very high margin IP model with a large, fast-growing and accretive chip business."

Arm CEO: New High-Efficiency Chips Could Save Data Centers $20B in Power and Building Costs

"the way we thought about it was at the highest level, you're talking about roughly $50 billion of spend on a gigawatt data center, and with CPUs growing from 30 million cores to 120 million cores, and then we calculate out what the power consumption looks like, we save about half versus x86. That gets us roughly to that math of $20 billion."

It's gonna happen, this hockey stick is gonna go up high."

Arm CEO: Addressing Skepticism on Profit Math and the Future of the Dual IP-and-Chip Business Model

"We think it's a really broad opportunity, and we don't think the future looks like the past, right? You can look backwards and say, 'Okay, you've got these guys doing chips and these guys doing IP, and I add up some of the parts and I can't get the math to work.' The math never works that way when you kinda look forward because things change relative to how architectures are developed and solutions are driven."

Arm EVP: Major Tech Giants Only Just Beginning to Launch New Arm-Based Products, Signaling Massive Growth Ahead

"The reality of even the CSS story is that some of these hyperscalers are literally just starting to deploy their products in earnest now. They've launched them, and they're really, really launching them, and we have visibility now into what their plans are, and that's what drives our sort of confidence level just in the base CSS business."

Arm VP: 22 Million Developers Building on Arm Create a Competitive 'Moat' that Competitors Can't Easily Copy

"Our ecosystem is massive. Rene already called out that we have 22+ million developers building on Arm. 22 million. I'm pretty sure that makes this the biggest software ecosystem there is. Now, when I think about this breadth, it covers our full platform."

Arm CFO: Revenue to Grow 2.5x Faster than Costs Through 2031, Driving Massive Future Profitability

"Increasing R&D combined with good execution creates a virtuous cycle of new products driving revenue growth. From here, we are forecasting mid-teens OpEx growth through FYE 31. We expect our revenue by FYE 31 to have grown by more than 2.5 times faster than our non-GAAP total costs."

CFO · Jason Child

Arm CEO: Major Demand Spike for Custom AI Chips Led Directly to Meta and OpenAI Partnerships

"We already have a number of customers locked in, and we intend to expand that list. I think it's gonna be a very diverse customer base. To be able to stand up on the day of the launch with two very large companies in this space, Meta and OpenAI, and then some great partners that we showed on the video, SAP, Cloudflare, that's a pretty significant milestone."
