Arm shares last closed at $54.08, about two dollars below their IPO price.
TD Cowen said Arm faces some challenges from the weak smartphone market, but its current revenue represented an "under-monetization of its importance to the industry".
Such growth would benefit SoftBank, which told investors ahead of the Arm IPO that it plans to remain the majority owner in the company it considers its crown jewel.
But some brokerages, including HSBC, urged caution, saying Arm's shares could remain range-bound as uncertainty over a smartphone market recovery pressures earnings.
But by 8 am ET on Monday, at least 15 brokerages started covering Arm with a mean rating of "buy" and a $60 median price target.
