Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM)
Shares of Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) soared by 15.93 percent to close at $179.93 apiece following announcements from its chief executive about its role in the massive artificial intelligence Stargate projects.
During an interview with CNBC, Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas announced that the financial details for the Stargate project of the government are being finalized.
He also underscored that SoftBank’s CEO Masayoshi Son remained enthusiastic about SoftBank's investment in Arm Holdings.
Arm will be a direct recipient of Project Stargate, which is expected to rake in billions of dollars in private investment in the AI industry, alongside its partner, Oracle.
Project Stargate will, in part, help fund the building of Oracle AI data centers—good news for Arm, whose technology is featured heavily in the servers that fill these data centers.
Overall ARM ranks 1st on our list of companies that led gains on Wednesday.
