[Featured Stock] CoAsia Gains Spotlight on Design Partner Amid Heated UK ARM Acquisition Battle

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] KoAsia is showing strength. The news that Samsung Electronics and Intel are likely to pursue the acquisition of ARM, the world's largest semiconductor design company based in the UK, has highlighted KoAsia, ARM's design partner.

As of 10:12 AM on the 3rd, KoAsia is trading at 8,360 KRW, up 6.09% (480 KRW) compared to the previous day.

According to foreign media reports the day before, there was news that Samsung Electronics and Intel might pursue the acquisition of ARM. ARM is a semiconductor design asset (IP) solution provider headquartered in the UK. It is a dominant leader, with 70% of the world's population using chips equipped with ARM solutions daily.

Previously, in 2020, the global semiconductor design company NVIDIA announced plans to acquire ARM but the deal fell through due to antitrust reviews. Industry insiders believe that if Samsung Electronics, aiming to be the number one system semiconductor company by 2030, acquires ARM, the synergy effect would be significant.

KoAsia was selected as ARM's 'Turnkey SoC Design Partner' in 2020. KoAsia can freely use ARM's IP and other design assets and development tools, and can also support customers based on ARM's design assets and technology.
