Arm has overtaken both Unilever and HSBC to become the 4th most valuable UK-headquartered company after its Nasdaq-listed stock soared when markets opened on Wall Street.
The Cambridge-based chip designer saw its shares close up some 30% by the end of the day’s trading session in New York, giving it a market value of more than $150 billion and putting it behind only UK-headquartered oil giant Shell, gas giant Linde and fellow Cambridge firm AstraZeneca.
