On November 26, 2025, SoftBank Group made public the news that its subsidiary, Silver Bands 6, had successfully wrapped up the all - cash purchase of the independent chip design company Ampere Computing on November 25 (local time in the U.S.). This deal was valued at a whopping $6.5 billion. After the acquisition, Ampere Computing will operate as a fully - owned subsidiary of SoftBank while keeping its original brand name intact. From the date of acquisition, Ampere Computing's financial and operational data will be incorporated into SoftBank's financial statements. This move aligns with common practices in the business world, where when a company acquires another, it typically integrates the acquired entity's financial and operational aspects into its own reporting framework for a more comprehensive view of its overall performance.
