SoftBank et Bain dépassent l'offre d'EQT pour Kakaku

SoftBank's participation in Kakaku acquisition will not materially impact its financial metrics, with debt-to-equity ratio remaining stable within 0.5-0.8 range 180 days post-deal completion

The competitive bidding war for Kakaku (involving EQT, SoftBank, and Bain) will result in final acquisition price exceeding $4.2 billion, indicating buyer competition drove valuation above current highest offer

SoftBank (9984.T) and Bain Capital's increased bid to $4 billion for Kakaku will result in deal closure within 90 days, creating positive sentiment that drives SoftBank's stock price up by 2-3% upon announcement
