SoftBank Group shares fell 9.01% on July 17, 2026. The company is reportedly planning a 60 billion yen bond sale this month.
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook for subsidiary SoftBank Corp. from negative to stable. The agency affirmed the telecommunications unit's 'BBB' rating. This adjustment follows a similar outlook revision for the parent company.
Market sentiment for the parent group remained negative despite the subsidiary's improved outlook. A surge in short interest for SoftBank's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) further pressured the stock.
