Fair value estimate

Estimate unreliable for ARM: the model gives 86% below the price; trailing free cash flow is small next to the company's value, so a DCF on it says little. We’d rather show nothing than a made-up number.

What the price implies To be worth today’s price, ARM’s free cash flow would need to grow about 55% a year for five years; our estimate uses 15%.

Risk vs market

How risk vs market is measured

One year of daily returns (Oct 30 to Oct 30, 252 sessions). Beta = how much ARM moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.

High

Swings much more than the market, and its own price swings are 6.3× the S&P 500’s.
