I mean it was valued pretty close to that on the public markets before SoftBank bought it, and tech shares in general have appreciated massively since then, so I think they could get a decent price at IPO.

That is my intuition too; ARM is a wellknown name and semiconductors is a hot sector at the moment, in particular with a shift away from X86 for personal computing.

However they probably cannot sell all the shares at an IPO and get the full 40B in cash which maybe is what SoftBank wants at present.
