UK Chip manufacturer, Arm, is looking for investors in the United States. Arm is the world leader in CPU technology and has over three decades of experience. The company architects, develops and licenses high-performance, low-cost, and energy-efficient IP solutions for CPUs, GPUs and NPUs. Statistics show that 70 percent of the world’s population uses Arm-based products with 99 percent of smartphones running on Arm-based processors and 50 percent of all chips with processors being Arm-based.
According to a BBC article, earlier this year, the British microchip designer announced that it will not pursue a London stock exchange this year and that it had decided a sole US listing was “the best path forward”. This was after several months of engagement with the British Government.
Chief executive Rene Haas stated:
“After engagement with the British Government and the [Financial Conduct Authority] over several months, SoftBank and Arm have determined that pursuing a US-only listing of Arm in 2023 is the best path forward for the company and its stakeholders.”
He added that the company would consider a UK listing “in due course”. However, they announced a US only listing instead of pursuing dual listings in London and New York.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR TEEN INVESTORS AND TECH USERS?
Despite the regulatory hurdles that an exclusive US listing might bring, the move offers significant opportunities for growth, innovation and integration. It brings them closer to Silicon Valley’s tech ecosystem, exposes the company to a larger and more liquid stock market and increases the chances of new partnership, significant investments and expansion. All this means that we should expect;
Beyond the excitement of new opportunities, it is important to note potential challenges that may arise from this move. With the expansion of foreign-powered devices, there is the potential for an increase in privacy and security issues, tech dependency problems and cyber addiction due to the integration of technology into daily life.
To wrap up, Arm’s search for investors in the United States will bring so many opportunities for growth and expansion. However, as a young investor and technology user, staying informed is key. Check the official listing website for information on its share prices, discover emerging innovations and ultimately, cease every opportunity that this move will present.
