  • SoftBank Eyes New Stock Option Plan as AI Bet Rises
    June 30, 2026, 12:07 AM EDT. SoftBank Corp (TSE:9434) said its board met June 23, 2026, to discuss issuing new stock acquisition rights, which would affect the company's equity and align management incentives. The options come as SoftBank keeps shifting from telecom into AI and digital infrastructure, leaning on cash flow from the wireless business. The options are set to link employee pay to AI cloud and data center growth, but bring dilution risks. The plan signals changes in governance as SoftBank ramps up AI capital spending. The company projects ¥8.24 trillion in revenue and ¥670 billion in earnings by 2029, giving an implied fair value of ¥243 per share, or about 17% above where the stock trades now. Investors face the choice between heavy AI spending risks and the potential for longer-term upside, with market expectations mostly in a ¥240-¥243 per share band.
