Nvidia Dumps Every Last Arm Share, Exits Stake Entirely
Nvidia sold its remaining 1.1M Arm shares in Q4, reducing its ownership to zero after a failed acquisition attempt.
Nvidia is officially done with Arm. The GPU giant offloaded its final 1.1 million shares in Arm Holdings sometime during Q4, a stake worth roughly $140 million based on Arm's closing price Tuesday.
The move brings Nvidia's ownership in the chip architecture company to a clean zero.
The exit marks the quiet end of a saga that started five years ago when Nvidia tried to buy Arm outright. That deal collapsed under intense regulatory scrutiny from multiple governments concerned about one company controlling the chip designs that power most of the world's smartphones and an increasingly broad swath of computing hardware.
Rather than hold a minority position indefinitely, Nvidia chose to walk away completely. The $140 million haul is pocket change for a company of Nvidia's scale, but the symbolic break is hard to miss.
