According to the Financial Times, SoftBank Group plans to make an additional investment of $30 billion in OpenAI, a move that could breach its key financial limit of a 25% loan-to-value ratio, raising investor concerns about the scale of its AI investments and financial stability. SoftBank has already invested over $34 billion in OpenAI, holding approximately an 11% stake. This additional investment will further enhance its influence, but it may also push the loan-to-value ratio to 35%, a threshold that could trigger a rating downgrade. S&P has adjusted SoftBank's rating outlook to negative, noting that its proportion of unlisted assets may exceed 50%, undermining portfolio liquidity. SoftBank stated that it will control its leverage levels by selling assets and promoting corporate listings, relying on OpenAI's future IPO to improve its financial structure.
