Earlier this week, Arm Holdings’ shares experienced a slight decline, sliding back towards their opening price. The shares were trading down 2% at $56.85 in premarket trading on Tuesday. This drop comes after the shares initially soared over $65 per share following last Thursday’s IPO. Nevertheless, the stock price remains above its initial pricing of $51 per share.
The successful IPO of Arm Holdings is expected to positively influence market sentiment regarding potential future listings. This development could provide a much-needed boost for SoftBank, which has suffered a series of significant losses through its Vision Funds business – the world’s largest venture capital portfolio.
Amid these developments, SoftBank has expressed its intention to remain the long-term owner of Arm Holdings. The funds generated from the IPO will strengthen SoftBank’s finances for further investment opportunities.
In line with this strategy, SoftBank appears to be swiftly advancing with new investments, particularly focusing on artificial intelligence technology. The company is leading a funding round for US-based location-mapping company Mapbox, worth $280 million and valuing the firm at around $1.3 billion. This move signals SoftBank’s ongoing commitment to investing in innovative technology companies.
