What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($26.54). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (67/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
Arm Holdings plc American Depositary Shares (ARM) currently trades at $242.59, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $21.67, implying the stock looks roughly 1,019.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $28.97 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the $242.59 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $5.20, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.
Over the trailing twelve months, Arm Holdings plc American Depositary Shares generated revenue of $4.9B at a net margin of 18.4%. Revenue grew 20.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $2.3B. Fundamentals as of Aug 30, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $15.39 (bear case) to $26.54 (bull case); at $242.59, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 43% below its 52-week high and 143% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −59% fair-value upside, at −91%, ARM screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.3484 per share, which is 1.6 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($28.97) versus Asset-Based ($5.20). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (73).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 69 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 48
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
