Talk:Arm Holdings

message: If it's a public limited company, that would mean that I can buy shares of it on some stock exchange, such as the London Stock Exchange, right?  Is it still listed?  If not, wouldn't that mean it's no longer a PLC? Guy Harris (talk) 17:41, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: ARM is not a PLC. I believe the article should now live at ARM Ltd. but this page exists so I'm not able move this one myself. Aimaz (talk) 16:17, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  For what it's worth, SoftBank;s "SoftBank Group" page says "SoftBank is a corporate group comprising the pure holding company SoftBank Group Corp. and 739 subsidiaries (as of March 31, 2016)." and lists, among major subsidiaries, "ARM Holdings plc", saying "ARM Holdings plc became a subsidiary of the Company on September 5, 2016."  ARM's own Financial Results page says "ARM Holdings plc is a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp."However, "ARM" doesn't show up on the LSE site, and "ARMH" doesn't show up on the NASDAQ site, so if they're still called "ARM Holdings plc", I'm not sure what the "l" in "plc" stands for....

replies: text: " ... I'm not sure what the "l" in "plc" stands for. .." - as stated already above, it stands for Public Limited Company.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.173.52 (talk) 17:33, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I meant "what the "p" in "plc" stands for"; if it stands for "public", in what fashion is it "public" if you can't buy its shares? Guy Harris (talk) 20:15, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

text:  This discussion is a misunderstanding of the status of Public limited company. As the Wikipedia article correctly identifies, a Plc may be wholly owned by a single family, or be a wholly-owned subsidiary of a company. Registering as a Plc is a very modest and simple step and does NOT involve participation in an open market, even though conversely it is a prerequisite for some markets. For a company the size of Arm, the obligations involved in being a Plc are really no more than general accounting practice requires, so there would be no reason for Softbank to change its structure in this regard, especially if for its own purposes it reqards Arm as a distinct tradeable asset.If this page has been moved to ARM Ltd based on the reasoning given here it was wrong to do so: ARM Plc is still the correct name if the company says it is, subject to its continuing compliance with having allotted and paid share capital pursuant to Companies Act 1985 et seq.

replies: text: It's a British company owned by a Japanese company that's selling 90% of its ownership to a US company.  I don't think the sale has closed yet. Guy Harris (talk) 19:03, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: No it shouldn't. It's not selling any % of its ownership to a US company as the deal is going to be blocked by the UK Government. So exactly what currency it should be in is a good question, but certainly not USD. 82.24.169.40 (talk) 02:23, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not sure to which page you're referring, but the "SoftBank Group Corp. Consolidated Financial Report For the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2021 (IFRS)" uses both JPY and USD in the "Arm Segment" section starting on page 25.  The first table, on page 25, of "Net sales" and "Segment income (income before income tax)" use millions of JPY.  Page 25 has another table of "Net sales in U.S. dollars", breaking the results down by "Technology royalty" and "Technology non-royalty"; they say that "Net sales in this section are presented in U.S. dollars as Arm’s revenue is primarily based in U.S. dollars."
