> it seems like there will be pressure from SoftBank given the lackluster returns If the rumor Softbank wants to IPO ARM is correct, there will be pressure to get all the fundamental metrics of the business pointing up and to the right to maximize the valuation of the IPO. The increased proceeds from a good ARM IPO vs just an 'okay' IPO would likely swamp any potential cash that Softbank might be able to milk from ARM in the short-term. It will be interesting to see how much of ARM Softbank intends to offer in the IPO vs how much they might continue to hold.
