Interesting. As much as ARM-based processors are doing so well in the market, it's important to understand that ARM has specific licensing agreements with Apple, Samsung, etc. It is not so obvious that it will continue being a cash cow for many more years.

"250 billion chips" I wonder how many of those are buried in landfill now.

Many. And still, many more are bought up every year. Those small M0 and M0+ cost pennies... if you made all chopsticks in the world out of M0s instead of wood, it would be more cost effective lol

(okay, maybe this is an exaggeration, but these small things are pretty much everywhere... not even speaking about chips in other, more complex devices)

Bit of a downer for the UK to see them list in the US, I do understand they just want access to the most capital, but I find a shame LSE is not competitive for this kind of thing.

You can not trade LSE stocks on zero commision US apps, thus you can not become a meme stonk.

I don't think it's about lack of capital but higher valuations. For reasons which don't seem to be well understood, investors on US markets seem to be willing to bid higher multiples than investors on UK and most other markets.

I know this is probably not the cause, and maybe it's just me being a naive SJW, but in my view London's financial institutions lost 90% of their credibility capital recently not so much because of Brexit (which hit them too) but because of the whole LME Nickel trade rollbacks shenanigans. Yes I know LME != LSE, and I know it was a lose-lose situation, but they co-exist and as a person who is not into finance they share their credibility to an extent.
