>Softbank overpay for Arm

Grossly so. They paid like 45 percent above what the stock was trading at the time.

That's a pretty normal premium for a buyout. You'll never be able to buy a company completely just by using the stock price * number of shares.

The company is currently valued by analysts as high as $40 billion. Most seem to believe it's worth more than the $32bn Softbank paid in 2016.
