Arm, the chip design firm that supplies core technology to companies including Apple and Nvidia , priced its initial public offering at $51 a share. Arm's fully diluted market cap, which includes outstanding restricted stock units, is over $54 billion at the $51 offer price. Arm's valuation for a chip company is exceedingly rich when compared to any player in the market other than Nvidia. At $54 billion, Arm would carry a price-to-earnings multiple of about 104, based on profit in the latest fiscal year.

Yet even with this lower valuation, SoftBank fares better than its $40 billion deal to sell Arm to Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O), which it abandoned last year amid opposition from antitrust regulators. Arm priced its IPO at $51 per share, at the top of its indicated range, raising $4.87 billion for SoftBank based on 95.5 million shares sold, the company said on Wednesday. Weak mobile demand during a global economic slowdown has caused Arm's revenue to stagnate. Sales in China contributed 24.5% of Arm's $2.68 billion revenue in fiscal 2023.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 12 (Reuters) - Intel (INTC.O) said on Tuesday it has agreed to sell a stake of about 10% in the IMS Nanofabrication business to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW). Intel will retain majority ownership of IMS, and the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter. "The investment by TSMC we believe also demonstrates the excitement across the whole semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem for the significant opportunity ahead of IMS," Intel vice president of corporate development Matt Poirier said. Intel is building a contract manufacturing business called Intel Foundry Services that competes with TSMC. Intel sold a 20% stake in IMS earlier this year to Bain Capital at the same valuation.

Arm may price its IPO above the indicated price range and will decide on how much it will sell its shares for on Wednesday, that source and a second person with knowledge of the matter said. Arm was considering publishing a revised price range that would have been higher, reflecting the strong investor demand. Pricing the approximately $5 billion IPO conservatively raises the chances of the shares trading strongly at their debut on Thursday, the sources added. The valuation that Arm has been seeking thus far represents a climb-down from the $64 billion valuation at which SoftBank last month acquired the 25% stake it did not already own in the company from the $100 billion Vision Fund it manages. Sales in China contributed 24.5% of Arm's $2.68 billion revenue in fiscal 2023.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 11 (Reuters) - Qualcomm (QCOM.O) on Monday said it had signed a new deal with Apple (AAPL.O) to supply 5G chips to the iPhone maker until at least 2026. Qualcomm, whose shares rose more than 8% in premarket trading, is the leading designer of what are known as modem chips that connect phones to mobile data networks. The San Diego, California-based firm previously signed a supply deal with Apple in 2019, after the two companies settled a protracted legal battle. Under the deal announced Monday, Qualcomm said it will supply Apple with chips for phones that will come out each year until 2026. Qualcomm also said that a patent licensing deal it signed with Apple in 2019 remains in place.

☆ Nvidia's dominance in AI chips deters funding for startups
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Max A. Cherney | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

U.S. chip startups have raised $881.4 million through the end of August, according to PitchBook data. Nvidia has "indirectly" contributed to overall AI chip fundraising woes, because investors want "Home run only type investments with a huge investment, huge return," Mythic CEO Dave Rick said. About two years ago, new investments in chip startups were often $200 million or $300 million. At least two AI chip startups have overcome investor reluctance by trumpeting potential customers or their relationships with well-known executives. While these chip makers in Nvidia's shadow struggle, startups in AI software and related technologies do not face the same constraints.

Qualcomm said Monday that it will supply Apple with 5G modems for smartphones through 2026. Wall Street analysts and Qualcomm officials had previously said they expected Apple to use an internally developed 5G modem starting in 2024. Qualcomm currently supplies Apple with 5G modems for its iPhones, but Apple has been working to build its own modems to move away from Qualcomm chips. A Qualcomm official said the company was not updating its guidance to take in account the Apple sales. Apple is expected to announce new iPhones, likely called iPhone 15, on Tuesday, which will use Qualcomm modems.

Huawei’s new smartphone uses an internally developed, very powerful chip that’s manufactured by the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), a partially state-owned Chinese semiconductor foundry.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Federal prosecutors on Monday dropped charges against Bijan Kian, a onetime business partner of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn who had been accused of acting as an unregistered agent of the Turkish government. Prosecutors alleged that Kian and Flynn, who were partners in an entity called the Flynn Intel Group, were acting at Turkey’s behest when they undertook a project to discredit exiled Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen. Among other factors, he cited evidence that an actual conspiracy involved Flynn and Alptekin, with Kian excluded from the arrangement. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia declined to comment on why prosecutors decided to drop the case. Flynn, who received a presidential pardon in 2020, became a chief promoter of Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Russia is hoping to draft 420,000 military personnel by the end of the year, according to UK Intelligence. But Russia has worsening labor workforce shortages back home, one Russian survey said. The UK MOD said Russia's conscription has "negative effects on its industry workforce". The UK MOD pointed out that Medvedev's figure cannot be independently verified. "This shows that mobilization and conscription within Russia has worsened non-defence workforce shortages," it said.

The United States imported nearly $127.5 billion in goods from Vietnam in 2022, compared with $101.9 billion in 2021 and $79.6 billion in 2020, according to US government data. The United States needs a trusted partner for its supply of chips, and Vietnam can do just that, Osius said. But that compares favorably with a global growth forecast of 3%, and is noticeably faster many of the world’s major economies, such as the United States, China and the eurozone. Politically, Vietnam shares many similarities to China in that it is an authoritarian one-party state that tolerates little dissent. Vietnam is an obvious choice, because it’s a cheap alternative to manufacturing in China, said García-Herrero.

Arm will not, however, offer more shares, given that SoftBank wants to retain a 90.6% stake in Arm following the approximately $5 billion IPO, as originally planned, the sources said.
