March 6th, according to foreign media citing sources, SoftBank Group's British chip design giant Arm plans to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States within this year, raising at least $8 billion.
The listing of Arm will be one of the largest IPO projects in the US stock market in the past 10 years. At the same time, it is also the most noteworthy IPO project in the global semiconductor industry in recent years.
According to sources, Arm is expected to start preparations for an IPO in the United States in the next few days. Arm is expected to confidentially file for an IPO at the end of April this year and is expected to go public later this year. However, the specific timetable will be determined according to market conditions.
Arm's valuation range has not yet been finalized, but Arm wants its IPO to be valued at more than $50 billion, the sources said. The figure is slightly lower than the $60 billion valuation SoftBank Group had been seeking last year.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Taote responded that Taote has always insisted on doing direct supply from the source and cultivating the M2C model. This year, we are continuing to increase the size of the industrial belt, and there will be more juniors working directly in the industrial belt, which will bring about some business adjustments, not strategic changes.
Taote App will continue to serve users well, and Taote will not be merged into Taobao.
