HSBC Upgrades $ARM to Buy from Reduce, Raises PT to $205 from $90 Analyst comments: "We believe Arm is now firmly in the middle of a transition from being a smartphone-dependent semi-IP play into a major AI server CPU beneficiary that remains undervalued by the market.

All major hyperscalers also have Arm-based server CPUs and are moving to both its v9 architecture as well as Neoverse Compute Subsystems, doubling its royalty revenue per chip. We also believe Arm will enter the merchant CPU business, which will not only significantly boost its revenue and earnings potential but could also lead to a potential re-rating." Analyst: Frank Lee
