Arm CEO Rene Haas Sees Lower Profit as Shares Fall 8% Amid AI R&D, Trade Tensions, and Plans to Develop Own Chips

Arm Holdings, the leading provider of chip architecture technology, reported a lower-than-expected profit forecast for the current period, driven by increased research and development spending focused on artificial intelligence and chiplet technologies. The company is shifting its traditional licensing model by exploring the development and sale of its own chips, a move confirmed by CEO Rene Haas. This strategic pivot could involve chiplets, physical chips, boards, or complete systems, although no specific product timeline was provided. Arm's first-quarter profit met estimates, but the outlook remains clouded by ongoing trade tensions and a slowdown in smartphone sales, impacting its core customer base including major firms like Nvidia. The announcement led to a sharp decline in Arm's shares, which fell over 8%, reflecting investor concerns about the company's evolving business model and market conditions. The company is also focusing on expanding its presence in data centers as part of its broader growth strategy.
