| 2026-05-14 13:28 JST | Investing.com reports SoftBank Group shares falling sharply even after a huge Q4 earnings beat, as investors focus on the company’s heavy, leveraged exposure to OpenAI: about $79.6bn in OpenAI value and roughly $45bn in paper gains funded partly by a $40bn bridge loan (with $17.5bn still outstanding), plus large asset sales and collateralized loans; the article cites S&P’s March outlook cut on SoftBank over concerns that the massive OpenAI bet could worsen liquidity, portfolio quality, and financial headroom, contributing to the stock’s sell-off.

| 2026-05-14 10:00 JST | EDINET extraordinary report discloses that in the parent-only FY ended March 2026, SoftBank Group booked a ¥475.355 billion foreign-exchange loss because its U.S. dollar–denominated liabilities (intra-group borrowings and foreign-currency bonds) exceeded its USD cash and loans, and the weaker yen generated a large FX loss; the filing states this event had a material adverse impact on the company’s financial position, business results, and cash flows, underscoring FX and leverage risk and feeding into negative sentiment.
