The ambition is enormous. So are the financing stakes. SoftBank shares have fallen more than 30% from their June peak. OpenAI’s delayed IPO could complicate further investment plans. SoftBank recently raised over $11bn through a record junk bond offering, paying yields as high as 9.75%. Gulf backing could provide fresh firepower—but talks offer no guarantee of a deal. Son has delivered spectacular wins, including Alibaba, and costly failures, including WeWork. The question now: can AI transform acquired businesses fast enough to justify the capital—and debt—behind the vision?
