Arm Watch posted an update
Demand for Arm’s AGI CPU now exceeds $2bn, more than double the $1bn opportunity management outlined earlier, 24/7 Wall St. says. The report also says Arm’s data-centre royalty revenue more than doubled, while its fiscal first-quarter revenue rose 22.4% to $1.289bn.
Why it mattersThat puts a concrete number behind Arm’s push into AI infrastructure, though demand is not the same as shipped chips or realised sales. The investment case still has to make it through execution, margins and supply, rather than simply winning a very large spreadsheet.
Discuss: If demand for Arm’s AGI CPU is already above $2bn, what should matter most next: converting that interest into sales, or proving the margins can hold up?

Arm Watch Update What changed24/7 Wall St. puts a $284.70 price target on Arm, below the $302.56 share price cited in its analysis, and assigns the shares a HOLD rating.
The analysis says initial gross margins for Arm’s AGI CPU family could land in the high 30s or low 40s, with a longer-term path towards 50%. It also sketches a bull case of about $428 a share if Arm becomes a default CPU for AI infrastructure, and a bear case of about $226 if smartphone royalties weaken.
There are nearer-term measures to watch too: Arm guided for fiscal second-quarter revenue of $1.38bn, plus or minus $50m, while the article notes GAAP operating margin fell to 7% from 11% and stock-based compensation was $343m. The fresh detail turns the AI CPU opportunity into a more concrete debate about margins, execution and how much optimism is already in the share price.
