Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH), PT 580p.
Analyst, Carmen Boyero, said, "ARM reported a very solid set of numbers this morning, beating the lowered market expectations. Revenues were particularly strong in the processor segment, both in licensing and royalty revenues, driving gross and operating margins significantly above expectations despite the higher-than-expected operating expense. The adoption of ARM technology remains robust, with 25 processor licenses signed, and a backlog that ended up 20% in the quarter. Outlook for Q1 and full-year 2012 was, however, surprisingly cautious in spite of the strong beat. Management is typically conservative with guidance, but this time concerns around the macro-environment and industry confidence seem higher to us."
