S of Arm Holdings (ARM -1. 18%) shot up last month on a broader bullish trend in the semiconductor industry that lifted peers Nvidia and AMD as concerns around tariffs and a potential recession simmered down, and the risk-on artificial intelligence (AI) trade returned
There was no single news item that drove Arm stock higher, but several events combined to send the stock up 30% by the end of the month, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence
As you can see from the chart below, the stock marched steadily higher over the course of the month, easily outperforming the S&P 500
ARM data by YCharts The AI trade returns There was relatively little company-specific news out on Arm last month, but the company, which is best known for power-efficient CPU architecture, is a close partner of giants Apple and Nvidia, giving it a broad range of exposure across the industry
The company, which licenses its architecture to those partners, is also sensitive to the economic cycle, which can drive demand
So it responded favorably to signs that the U
Economy remained resilient, according to data, even with new tariffs in place
In fact, one of Arm's best days last month came from Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), where Apple announced a number of new features to its iOS software and Apple Intelligence
Apple is a major customer for Arm, and the news was enough to drive Apple stock up 4. 1% on the day on its second-highest trading volume day of the month
After Arm stock dipped briefly, it surged over the last full week of June in line with broader market gains as Mideast tension tamped down, and inflation remained modest through May, showing that tariffs had not yet had a meaningful impact on prices
Arm closed out the month receiving a bullish note from Guggenheim, which maintained a buy rating on the stock and raised its price target from $147 to $187

What's next for Arm Arm stock has fallen over the first two days of July as the valuation is arguably stretched ing last week's gains
The company's competitive advantages are formidable due to its nological edge in power efficiency, but significant growth is already baked into the stock as it trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 41
While the looks a good bet to continue growing, investors may want to wait for a more attractive price point before buying the stock
