Shares of Arm Holdings (ARM) are falling Wednesday despite surpassing expectations on both the top and bottom lines in its fourth quarter results. To shed light on this unexpected market reaction, New Street Research Analyst Rolf Bulk joins Yahoo Finance.

Bulk acknowledges that while Arm had a solid quarter, the company's full-year guidance came in "a bit shy of consensus." However, he says he is not surprised by Arm's outlook, citing certain parts of the business, such as "licensing in particular is quite lumpy."

Bulk attributes this guidance to Arm's inability to determine which clients will continue to purchase their products consistently. He adds that clients who purchase from the company this quarter are not guaranteed to do so in the next, making it difficult to "forecast that out over multi-quarters, let alone a year."
