We maintain the view that an acquisition by NVidia would be extremely damaging long-term for Arm and its partners. Big question marks on whether it would gain regulatory approval. See here https://www.ccsinsight.com/... https://twitter.com/...

SoftBank said it bought Arm to strategically position itself to take advantage of the booming internet of things in a 5G world. Now it's on the verge of selling before 5G has really even started. https://twitter.com/...

When Softbank bought ARM for ~$30B, Nvidia sported a ~$40B cap. Today, $NVDA has a $300B cap and is rumored to be buying ARM for what $NVDA was worth four years ago. I wonder where ARM would be today if it had stayed listed and independent? https://www.wsj.com/...

So, is that a win for SoftBank? Selling ARM for ~35% more than it paid for it, but on the other hand... The S&P 500 has climbed 50% since the purchase was signed in 2016. https://www.wsj.com/...

Nvidia-Arm deal that we've been waiting for could be announced next week. Bloomberg News reported July 31 that Nvidia was in advanced talks to buy Arm and was the only suitor for the Cambridge, England-based company. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
