..... ▷ Details will be disclosed on Monday when Arm files for its Nasdaq launch. The move eliminates an "overhang" for Arm's stock after the IPO, as the Vision Fund had planned to sell its stake over time following the listing, while SoftBank has indicated that it will remain a long-term strategic investor. This acquisition is also seen as a victory for the Vision Fund's major investors, including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Abu Dhabi's Mubadala, and may boost their direct support for the IPO. Arm is, a bit unhelpfully, also expected to report a revenue decline of about 1% in the year ended March in the IPO filing, according to Bloomberg, on shrinking demand in all the major markets for chips other than AI (i.e. smartphones, PCs and data centres). Sales for the quarter ended June 30 fell 2.5% to $675mn.
