Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 57% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 16, 2025
After a 25% drop, Arm is the cheapest it has been since it went public. On July 16, BNP Paribas raised its price target to $210, sparking strong positive buzz. Option traders now prefer the stock to stay above $150, limiting further falls. Demand for phone and cloud chips remains solid, and trading volume is 40% above normal, suggesting most sellers are done. A rebound toward about $174 could arrive within 8-12 weeks.
Primary drivers
- BNP Paribas raising its goal to $210 renews optimism for the stock.
- Heavy trading after a sharp drop hints that most sellers are finished.
- Options now reward prices above $150, helping to keep swings smaller.
- Strong hold over phone and AI chip designs keeps cash coming in.
