I've my doubts about Arm's future with the reports of intending to up the price of licensing. That strategy seems insane with the Risc-v progress and increased uptake by big tech companies.

It'll be a spike in income, which will look good for IPO purposes.

Then a sharp drop to nothing, as everybody has moved on to RISC-V. But by then the company will be long sold to suckers through IPO. So it doesn't matter.
