Arm Holdings (ISIN US0420682058) was trading at EUR 227.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 12:07 p.m. CEST. On October 13, 2026, a Delaware jury found Arm breached a licensing agreement with Qualcomm and intentionally interfered with Qualcomm's business relationship with Meta, while awarding Qualcomm nominal damages of USD 2, Reuters reported.

What does the verdict mean for royalties

The USD 2 award limits the immediate monetary result, but the ruling leaves legal questions around Qualcomm's licensing payments. Reuters reported that Qualcomm may seek to stop royalty payments for up to five years, potentially affecting billions of dollars in payments, while Arm has argued that the royalty penalty is unenforceable.

The dispute also reaches beyond the damages figure because Qualcomm's agreement with Arm runs through 2033. The jury found Arm breached its obligation to provide software patches and tools, while finding for Arm on five other breach allegations, according to CNBC on October 13, 2026.

Three dated Arm milestones

On July 29, 2026, Arm reported USD 1.29 billion in revenue and diluted earnings per share of USD 0.25 for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared with USD 1.05 billion in revenue and USD 0.12 per share in the prior-year quarter, according to finanzen.ch. On October 5, 2026, the five-day Qualcomm trial began, with the potential royalty dispute at the center of the case, Reuters reported. On October 13, 2026, the jury returned the USD 2 verdict.

When Arm reports again

Arm has scheduled its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results for November 4, 2026, after the market close, with a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET. The date and webcast schedule were announced by Business Wire on October 5, 2026.
