Bulls Say

  • With the vast array of internet and e-commerce investments that SoftBank owns, it could unearth more investments that, like Alibaba, offer very high returns.

  • Masayoshi Son has an excellent track record of building value and expanding the company. An investment in SoftBank offers minority shareholders an opportunity to invest alongside him.

  • Investors focused heavily on the troubles in the Vision Fund in 2019 and 2022, but most of the company's value lies in listed stakes in high-quality businesses. VF2's OpenAI investment could continue to grow in value.

Bears Say

  • The SoftBank Vision Funds may struggle when the tech market is in a downturn and the IPO market is shut.

  • SoftBank may spend a lot trying unsuccessfully to find another Alibaba. The company will continue to make big bets, as evidenced by the Sprint takeover and the offer for Arm Holdings.

  • The SoftBank Vision Fund makes SoftBank's accounts more complicated and opaque.
