Arm Holdings (ARM, Financial) is making strategic strides into the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) sector. This entry is anticipated to potentially double its operating profit by capturing just a fraction of the market. The expansion is expected to provide substantial upside potential given that the ASIC market is assessed as undervalued. Additionally, Arm has expanded into custom chip solutions and secured a partnership with Meta Platforms earlier this year. This collaboration underscores Arm’s shift beyond its traditional architecture licensing model, allowing it to capture a broader market.

This, coupled with a diverse revenue stream from licensing and royalties, secures a solid revenue pipeline for Arm.
