KeyBanc began coverage on Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) with an Overweight rating and a price target of $65.00, as reported in real time on InvestingPro.
The initiation is the latest of many buy-equivalent ratings stamped on the chipmaker after its IPO last month, with a raft of brokerages starting coverage last week — including BofA Securities, TD Cowen, Goldman Sachs, and Citi — and most of them assigning buy-equivalent ratings.
KeyBanc suggests that Arm is poised to thrive from the ongoing semiconductor design trends, especially the growing complexity of chips. The analysts say this is is due to the continuous evolution of compute chip structures, such as chiplet/tile-based and heterogeneous designs, which increasingly compensate for scaling challenges as a result of the demise of Moore's Law.

Shares of Arm were off 1.1% to $57.71 in the premarket.

Shares jumped more than 112% Tuesday
