We recently published a list of 10 Best New Stocks to Buy According to Billionaires. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) stands against other best new stocks to buy according to billionaires.
International IPO activity during the first quarter of 2025 was characterized by profound uncertainty coming from geo-political shifts and the ever-changing tariff policies around the globe. According to an April 10, 2025 report by EY Global, the global IPO market remained steady year-over-year in terms of volume but grew 20% in terms of value. The first quarter of 2025 witnessed a total of 291 IPOs with a total value of $29.3 billion. Notably, the United States was a key player as it posted the third-strongest Q1 performance with a total of 59 listings. On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific market also showed signs of recovery and the EMEA region remained steady year-over-year.
The current global macroeconomic environment has created both challenges and opportunities for the IPOs around the world. For instance, the tariff policies and the ongoing trade war have raised the expectations of inflation, casting uncertainty over the monetary policies. On the other hand, the geo-political tensions have led to increased budgetary spending around the world, thereby leading to a surge in investment in the Aerospace and Defence sector. The report by EY Global anticipates a surge in IPO activity for this segment. Moreover, the disruptive trends in artificial intelligence are allowing IPO candidates to enhance their market strategies and offerings using the technology. As per the report, AI technology has started to become an integral part of companies operating in the financial, health, and life sciences industries.
While the United States market witnessed a 51% increase in the number of IPOs when compared to 2024, however, the future looks uncertain. George Chan, EY Global IPO Leader highlighted that the growth in IPO activity during the first quarter was on the back of an optimistic market outlook at the start of the year. However, currently, many companies who had planned their IPOs in the first or second quarter of the year have delayed their public offering to later quarters or 2026. Chan advised that it is important for investors to look for companies with unshakeable fundamentals, agility, and adaptability to steer with the uncertainty of the market.
To curate the list of 10 best new stocks to buy according to billionaires we used the Finviz stock screener and Insider Monkey’s Q4 2024 billionaire database. Using the screener we aggregated a list of companies that went public in the past 2 years. After sorting the list by market capitalization, we ranked each new stock in ascending order of the number of billionaire investors. We have also added the hedge fund sentiment around each stock. Please note that the data was recorded on April 25, 2025. Also, note that in cases where two or more stocks had an equal number of billionaire investors we used market capitalization as a tie-breaker.
