1209 ET - Arm Holdings is facing high demand for its new CPUs, doubling its demand forecast to $2 billion through fiscal 2028. Now, the company's next challenge is converting that demand to revenue, Benchmark analyst Cody Acree writes in a note. The company is facing supply constraints around memory, wafers, packaging, and test equipment for the chips, and Acree notes that while Arm can only influence wafer supply, it doesn't directly source memory, which is likely the biggest bottleneck. The supply question "leaves customers hesitant to place firm orders if they are unsure of the availability of related memory," Acree writes. "We therefore come away from the discussion more confident in Arm's long-term revenue opportunity but are not yet willing to adjust our model higher." Shares slide 10%. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
