Licensing surge and institutional inflow as AI chip demand accelerates

Arm Holdings reported a 29% increase in licensing revenues for fiscal Q4, fueling a 20% year-over-year rise in overall revenue attributed to heightened demand for AI infrastructure and advanced silicon designs. Royalty revenues also climbed 11% to $671 million on the back of growing adoption of Armv9 architecture and increased use of Arm-based processors in data centers. The company will announce results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 on July 29, 2026, after market close. A major new institutional investment in ARM shares was also disclosed in the latest SEC filing.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, believes the recent ARM rally is overstated given current technical and sentiment headwinds. He points to the stock trading under its 20-day moving average and notes the weak momentum indicators underscore a fragile near-term setup. Rising volatility and bearish oscillator readings suggest sellers still dominate. While licensing and royalty growth look impressive, Kharitonov is critical of the sustainability given immediate resistance and modest directional strength. "I see a strong risk of mean reversion with sellers retaining control unless ARM decisively breaks above $338.24."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights robust revenue gains and institutional inflows as signals of ARM’s structural strength. He sees the jump in both licensing and royalty revenues as a foundation for further growth, especially with accelerating AI infrastructure adoption. Despite short-term resistance, Karapetjanc maintains that the longer-term bullish structure remains intact. He expects market participants will look for multiple setups around the $334.58 support zone. "The growth story is far from over — sustained demand and strong fundamentals offer attractive upside opportunities for ARM."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees ARM in a consolidation phase following a volatile surge. He views the divergence between high price action and weak oscillators as a potential setup for tactical range trading. Mehta believes a breakout above $338.24 could trigger renewed bullish momentum, while failure at this level exposes the stock to further downside. "I would monitor for contrarian entries if oversold conditions persist and price holds above key support."

Bullish structure holds amid intraday volatility and weak momentum signals

ARM trades below its 20-day moving average (MA-20) at $355.58 but remains above both the 50-day (MA-50) at $304.46 and the 200-day (MA-200) at $179.52. This pattern indicates ongoing long-term bullish momentum and a stable medium-term trend, with mild near-term downside pressure due to recent selling activity. Immediate resistance stands at $338.24 and near-term support is seen at $334.58. On the momentum front, MACD gives a neutral bias and ADX at 27.66 signals only modest directional conviction, suggesting weak short-term trend strength. RSI is at 42.43, forecasting a sell and hinting at mild downward momentum, while Stochastic RSI, CCI, and BBP show oversold conditions, confirming sellers remain in control intraday. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) also calls for selling, amplifying the bearish intraday signal. Today’s session is marked by strong price action toward the highs and elevated volatility at 5.87%, revealing notable divergence between rising price and weak oscillator signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that despite short-term volatility and selling pressure, Arm Holdings maintained a broadly positive long-term outlook supported by recurring revenue growth in AI and semiconductor markets. The latest results reinforce the persistence of long-term bullish momentum despite near-term uncertainty, with traders advised to monitor for a decisive breakout above immediate resistance at $338.24 as a potential trigger for renewed upside.
