Arm: Investors should be careful of framing as an ‘IPO signal,’ strategist says
Arm Holdings (ARM) is making its IPO debut on the Nasdaq (^IXIC) on Thursday, September 14th. What does Arm's debut mean for the IPO market and for the future of the company? Rainmaker Securities Managing Director Greg Martin joins Yahoo Finance Live anchor Julie Hyman and Brad Smith to discuss. "We have to be careful about framing Arm as an IPO signal — it's a one-on-one company, it’s already been a public company," Martin cautions on investor hype directed at the IPO market. "So, you know, it's not a true new issuer." He also notes new issuances like Klaviyo, Instacart (CART), and Turo are more "truly representative of whether there's a real reopening of the IPO market." "The biggest uncertainty and the biggest area for concern… is 'is this going to power... future AI chip designs?'" Martin speculates on Arm’s growth outlook and liquidation risks from its majority stakeholder SoftBank
