British chip designer Arm Holdings, following its public debut on the Nasdaq final Thursday, is now into account for inclusion in common indexes such because the Nasdaq 100. However, analysts counsel that its addition to the is unlikely as a result of firm’s U.Okay.-based standing.

The profitable debut of Arm has ignited hopes for a revival within the international IPO market which has been largely dormant over the previous 18 months resulting from rising rates of interest and rampant inflation.
