Arm fires starting gun on US IPO after snubbing London

The Cambridge-based chipmaker rebuffed advances from Rishi Sunak to float in London

British chip designer Arm has officially filed to go public in New York in what is expected to be the largest listing of the year.

The Softbank-backed company is set to begin investor roadshows in the first week of September, with the Cambridge-based chipmaker planning to price the initial public offering (IPO) the following week, Bloomberg reported.

The highly anticipated IPO in the US comes after Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, failed to convince Arm to float in London or pursue a dual UK-US listing.

Arm’s decision to list in New York rather than London has fuelled fears that the City is losing its competitiveness to Wall Street, where valuations are typically higher.
