Here are last year’s income statement:&lt;p&gt;Revenue: $2.67B (down from 2.7)&lt;p&gt;Gross profit margin: 96%&lt;p&gt;Net Profit: $524m&lt;p&gt;And they are planning to IPO at a valuation of 60-70 billion dollars! Thats a P&amp;#x2F;E of 130 and a P&amp;#x2F;S of 25. Frankly this is ridiculous for a company that collects license fees, there is no potential for massive growth, all smartphones are using ARM chips already and their biggest client has a perpetual license already. Why is it valued like a tech startup?&lt;p&gt;This is Softbank dumping on retail and they somehow got Apple and Intel to buy a small piece of the IPO (700m combined).</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ve been trying to figure out what I can invest in to get exposed to it, but have been unable to find anything. If anybody had got any angles, I&amp;#x27;d love to hear them!</text></comment>
