Movement Alert｜SoftBank Group Falls 4.23% in Pre-Market Trading, Hyundai Acquires Its Boston Dynamics Stake at Deep Discount

Market Focus07-16

On July 16, SoftBank Group fell 4.23% in pre-market trading, trading at $18.13/share, with turnover of $12,900.

On the news front, Hyundai Motor Group announced it will acquire SoftBank's approximately 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics, making the robotics firm a wholly-owned Hyundai subsidiary. The transaction, triggered by SoftBank exercising a put option, values Boston Dynamics at roughly $3.3 billion, implying SoftBank's stake is worth only approximately $325 million — far below market expectations that had placed Boston Dynamics' valuation between $20 billion and $100 billion. Analysts noted that because Hyundai simultaneously holds call options, SoftBank had virtually no room to reject the deal and was effectively forced to divest at an ultra-low price. The steep discount raises concerns about SoftBank's ability to realize full value from its broader investment portfolio, particularly as the company navigates ongoing volatility tied to its AI-focused strategy.
