The latest data point for ARM's EPS Surprise % in Q3'26 shows a modest positive surprise of 4.88%, indicating that the company's earnings per share exceeded analyst expectations by a small margin for this quarter. This follows a negative surprise of -37.72% in the prior Q2'26, marking a notable rebound in performance relative to forecasts. Over the period from Q2'24 to Q3'26, ARM's EPS Surprise % has exhibited volatility, starting with a strong 38.46% positive surprise in Q2'24, declining to 14.29% in Q1'25, and experiencing sharp drops into negative territory (e.g., -60% in Q4'24 and -37.72% in Q2'26), before stabilizing with smaller positive values in recent quarters. Meanwhile, EPS Growth (YoY) displays erratic patterns, with significant declines early on (e.g., -200% in Q2'24) giving way to a peak of 74.86% in Q4'24, followed by fluctuations between -42.86% and +190.91%, and ending at -12.5% in Q3'26, suggesting inconsistent year-over-year earnings momentum amid broader market pressures. The dual-line chart highlights a lack of consistent correlation between surprise percentages and growth rates, with positive surprises not always aligning with YoY gains, underscoring the need for analysts to monitor underlying operational factors for ARM's semiconductor sector exposure.
