Apple is considering buying ARM Holdings
Yesterday, during the traditional announcement of the fiscal results of the 1st fiscal quarter, Apple did not hesitate to casually mention $ 41.7 billion gathering dust on the company's accounts. Where can I spend part of this amount? Apple even approached such an issue as “mastering the budget” with the company's strategic sense of proportion.
Since yesterday, the London Evening Standart has been actively discussing the possible takeover by the already mentioned ARM holding company. I think that there is no need to explain which company we are talking about. For those who need help, all the same, let me remind you that ARM is an association of enterprises, which stands behind almost every mobile processor. Obviously, in the event of a takeover, such a transaction could change the whole world of mobile technology.
Despite the fact that the Evening Standart is only sucking rumors, the exchange principle “buy on rumors, sell on facts” has already begun to work in its entirety. Just yesterday, ARM shares rose by 8.1 points against a daily volume of 5 million shares. Having performed the simplest operation for calculating the market value of a company, we conclude that for the whole ARM “with giblets” it will be necessary to pay only $ 8 billion. Relatively little, if we consider the possible consequences and difficulties that Apple could bring to the rest of the mobile phone manufacturers. And even despite the fact that the company itself is no longer directly involved in the release of processors, such giants as Nokia, Sony, Samsung, LG, the beloved iPhone and even the new iPad work inside have a processor built on the ARM architecture. Not to mention the fact that in the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP consumes energy all the same chip. Beautiful situation turns out ...

What all this will result in is completely unclear. On the one hand, Apple has a fantastic opportunity to embarrass all competitors. On the other hand, she herself can suffer from her own actions. It is worth mentioning the last fact: “The company [ARM] was founded as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer and VLSI Technology (as Advanced RISC Machines). Its first profitable year was 1993. ”(c) Wikipedia Still, the apple does not fall far from the apple tree.
