Arm Holdings (ISIN US0420682058) was trading at EUR 216.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:39 a.m. CEST. The key issue for the chip designer is a Delaware jury verdict that awarded Qualcomm USD 2 after finding breaches of a licensing agreement on October 13, 2026, as CNBC reported.

Qualcomm dispute keeps legal risk visible

The verdict was mixed. The jury found that Arm breached its architectural license agreement and interfered with Qualcomm's relationship with Meta, while Arm prevailed on four other claims, according to CNBC. The damages were nominal, but the ruling leaves a separate question over whether Qualcomm can seek to suspend royalty payments, a risk discussed by Admiral Markets on October 15, 2026.

Three dates frame the story

On July 29, 2026, Arm reported USD 1.29 billion in first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue, up 22.00 percent year over year, with a non-GAAP operating margin of 41.20 percent, according to Admiral Markets. On October 5, 2026, Arm announced that its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results would follow after the market close on November 4, 2026, according to Arm. On October 13, 2026, the Qualcomm jury awarded USD 2 while finding against Arm on two claims.

What does the next report test?

Arm's revenue growth gives the November report a clear operating benchmark. The company had 56 Total Access licenses and 329 Flexible Access licenses at March 31, 2026, compared with 44 and 314 a year earlier, respectively, according to its annual report filed with the SEC filing. The same filing reported fiscal-year 2026 revenue of USD 4.92 billion, up from USD 4.01 billion in fiscal year 2025. The legal dispute adds a separate variable because royalty exposure depends on later court decisions rather than the USD 2 award alone.

Stock price before November results

The euro quote places Arm below its recent US closing levels, while the next company-defined catalyst is the November 4, 2026 results release. Arm's investor calendar also schedules the accompanying webcast for that date, according to Arm. Arm Holdings was trading at EUR 216.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:39 a.m. CEST.
