Analysis

SoftBank targets more than $11 Billion in junk bonds for one of the largest such deals on record, with part of proceeds earmarked for another OpenAI stake that brings its total commitment near $65 Billion. The Japanese firm already sold $15 Billion of bonds this year to become the biggest junk-rated borrower in 2026 markets, yet its 2031 dollar notes now yield 8.2% after starting the year at 6.7%.
