On May 22, ARM Holdings fell 3.06% in pre-market trading, trading at $289.546/share, with trading volume of approximately $40.78 million. The stock pulled back after a multi-day rally, as ongoing regulatory uncertainty continues to cap upside momentum.
The decline comes as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's antitrust investigation into ARM's semiconductor technology licensing practices remains unresolved. The FTC is examining whether ARM is attempting to illegally monopolize portions of the semiconductor market by refusing or degrading CPU design blueprint licenses while simultaneously expanding its own chip development. The probe, disclosed in mid-May, initially triggered an 8.46% single-day plunge and erased over $10 billion in market capitalization. ARM faces parallel regulatory scrutiny in the EU and South Korea, with Qualcomm's complaints serving as a key catalyst across all three jurisdictions.
While the stock had rebounded sharply on May 20-21 driven by AI CPU demand momentum across the semiconductor sector, the unresolved FTC investigation and Goldman Sachs sell rating continue to create headwinds, contributing to profit-taking pressure following the rapid recovery.
