SoftBank's AI spending spree now carries a $25 billion twist
GuruFocus·
- SoftBank Group Corp. has increased its margin loan backed by Arm Holdings shares by $5 billion, bringing the total facility to $25 billion.
- The expansion was made possible by Arm's 142% share price rally this year, which increased the value of SoftBank's nearly 90% stake in the chip designer.
- This additional borrowing capacity provides founder Masayoshi Son with greater financial firepower to fund his $60 billion pledge to OpenAI and other large-scale artificial intelligence investments.
