Interesting numbers to see from a company in the space we are headed for, ie. licensing & royalties.

from the news release......

"Second-quarter earnings were announced today before the bell. The company reported a large profit rise from last year. The net income soared 428.5% from £10.5 million to £55.5 million ($94.9 million). The increase in net income was attributed to extensive growth in chip shipments and licensing revenue.

According to ARM’s management, the revenues increased 9% to £187.1 million. Revenues for the company are highly dependent on royalties that ARM receives so its revenues are delayed, as customers make payments from their revenues.

ARM Holdings has also announced that it will be paying an interim dividend of 2.52 pence per share on the 3October, an increase of 20%."

ARM has 1.4B Shares with a Market Cap of almost 21B, trading on the NASDAQ today at $44.85 and has an aproximate P/E 108
