  • SoftBank Group's Stock Valuation Questioned Despite 81.5% One-Year Surge
    February 1, 2026, 8:27 AM EST. SoftBank Group (TSE:9984) shares have soared 81.5% over the past year but fell 7.8% year to date, prompting debate on whether current prices reflect true worth. The stock trades at ¥4,253 despite a Dividend Discount Model (DDM) suggesting an intrinsic value of just ¥342, pointing to potential overvaluation by over 1,100%. SoftBank's valuation score sits at 3 out of 6, indicating mixed attraction. Key factors include its shifting technology asset exposure and investment portfolio moves. The DDM uses cautious growth assumptions, yet the stock remains priced far above model estimates, highlighting investor optimism amid nonlinear gains and pullbacks. This discrepancy invites scrutiny as market participants weigh growth versus risk in this dynamic telecom giant.
