SoftBank Group, the technology-investment powerhouse controlling Arm, surged 11.22% on Monday, with shares reaching $15.23 as Japan's AI trade caught fire. The stock closed at its session high on nearly twice its average volume, outpacing the Nikkei 225's roughly 2.1% advance by more than nine percentage points. SoftBank's move is tied to its massive AI bet: in February, OpenAI announced a $110 billion funding round that included a $30 billion commitment from SoftBank, valuing OpenAI at $730 billion before the investment, with Nvidia and Amazon committing the remaining $80 billion. The shares now trade 5.91% above GuruFocus's GF Value estimate of $14.38, reflecting investor enthusiasm for SoftBank's leveraged AI upside, though the financing and valuation risks remain significant.
