Kya hua
SoftBank shares 14 Sept 2026 ko ¥5,839 par band hui, 10.72% giri, kyunki OpenAI CEO Sam Altman ne 2026 IPO nahi hoga confirm kiya aur Altman-Dario Amodei ne AI safety ke liye slow down ki call.
SoftBank Group ki shares 14 September 2026 ko Tokyo mein ¥5,839 par band hui — ¥701 (10.72%) gire, ye unka sabse bada ek-din ka drop june 2026 ke baad tha. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman ne 2026 IPO nahi hoga confirm kiya, aur Altman-Dario Amodei dono ne AI safety ke baare mein slow down ki call di.
Investors ko worry hai ki agar AI regulation badh jaaye aur development slow ho, toh SoftBank ka debt-financed model kaise bachega. Daiwa ke Yugo Tsuboi ne bola 'OpenAI ki value ab pehle jitni nahi lag sakni.' Morningstar ke Dan Baker ne regulatory slowdown aur AI loss-of-control risks point kiye.
Market ne clear signal diya ki AI-adjacent stocks ka repricing chal raha hai: Bloomberg ne $32 billion market cap loss report ki, wires mein drop 11-14% mein vary kiya. SoftBank CFO ne October ke final OpenAI payment ke liye aur ~$10 billion borrowing ki hint di, ye leverage risk badhata hai.

8 claimsSoftBank Group Corp shares closed at ¥5,839 on September 14, 2026, down ¥701 (10.72%) from the previous close of ¥6,540, their steepest one-day drop since late June 2026.
The selloff was triggered by weekend statements from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calling for a more measured pace of AI development citing safety, and Altman's confirmation that OpenAI would not pursue an IPO in 2026.
SoftBank's total investment in OpenAI is expected to reach close to $65 billion by October 2026, giving it an expected stake of about 13% at a $730 billion pre-money valuation; the third $10 billion tranche is scheduled for October 2026.
SoftBank secured a $11.87 billion two-year loan from roughly 20 banks to support its OpenAI investment on 14 September 2026, on top of a planned ¥1 trillion (~$6.5 billion) retail bond sale.
SoftBank shares had already fallen roughly 30% from their June 2026 peak; the 52-week low is ¥3,365 and the 52-week high is ¥9,074.
Daiwa Securities chief strategist Yugo Tsuboi said there is 'worry that OpenAI's value may not be as high as previously expected,' with investors watching whether the pace of AI development could moderate.
Wire services vary on the drop magnitude: Bloomberg cites >13%, Nikkei Asia reports ~11% close, WION reports ~11.6% at ¥5,781, AP reports 11.2%; the Livemint headline figure of 14% is a peak/intraday characterization, with the confirmed closing drop at 10.72%.
SoftBank repaid the full $25.9 billion OpenAI-related bridge facility on 15 September 2026 and CFO commentary points to another ~$10 billion of borrowing to fund October's final OpenAI payment.

“SoftBank's share price slide probably reflects the possibility that AI development may be slowed by regulators to try to avoid the worst case outcomes.”
“An IPO this year would be ill-advised given the current concerns around AI safety.”
