Nvidia has concluded its exit from Arm Holdings by selling all its remaining shares in the chip technology business, a move that marks the end of a long and complex relationship that originated with a failed acquisition bid.
According to recent regulatory disclosures, Nvidia sold its final 1.1 million Arm shares during the fourth quarter of last year. Based on Arm’s February 17 closing price, the transaction was valued at roughly $140 million. Following this sale, Nvidia no longer holds any stake in the semiconductor design firm.
The divestment follows an unsuccessful attempt by Nvidia to acquire Arm in 2020 with a proposed $40 billion deal—a transaction that faced immediate resistance from antitrust authorities and tech industry participants concerned about Arm’s neutral position in the semiconductor market.
Aside from its complete exit from Arm, Nvidia liquidated other holdings during the same period, selling its full positions in Applied Digital (7.72 million shares for roughly $177 million), WeRide (1.74 million shares for about $17 million), and Recursion Pharmaceuticals (7.71 million shares for $38 million).
As it exited these positions, Nvidia initiated sizable investments elsewhere, including 214.8 million Intel shares valued at about $7.93 billion, 166.4 million Nokia shares worth around $1.08 billion, and 4.82 million Synopsys shares totaling approximately $2.26 billion.
Nvidia, currently the most valuable company worldwide, has outlined its objective to deploy capital in support of broader adoption of artificial intelligence technologies across the sector.
