Why It Matters

ソフトバンクグループは2019年9月に個人投資家から4000億円の無担保社債を年1.380%で借り入れ、満期の9月17日に返済後に1兆円を新規借入れする。

Font size

2019年9月、ソフトバンクグループ(SBG)は個人投資家から第56回無担保普通社債で4000億円を借りた。当時の利率は年1.380%だった。その社債が満期を迎えるのは9月17日である。同じ日に、SBGはお金を返した上で、新しく1兆円を個人投資家から借りることになる。

SBGは8月24日、個人投資家向けに1兆円の社債を発行すると発表した。国内企業が発行する個人向け社債では過去最大規模となる。期間は7年、利率の仮条件は市中金利の高騰もあって年4.30~4.90%まで上昇している。愛称は「福岡ソフトバンクホークスボンド」だ。

購入単位は100万円で、購入者全員に「お父さん応援隊長」のトートバッグが贈られるという。

ここで素朴な疑問が浮かぶ。SBGの保有株式価値は83兆円ある。なぜ、機関投資家ではなく個人から、7年前の3.5倍もの利回りを払ってまで1兆円を借りたいのか。

株を担保にしても足りない資金需要

SBGは2025年4~12月期に、保有資産の売却で3兆3000億円、保有資産を担保にした融資で2兆5000億円、つなぎ融資で1兆8000億円、普通社債で9000億円、ハイブリッド社債で5000億円を調達したとされている。

つまり、同社は資産売却や担保融資、無担保社債など取れる手段を全て取った上で資金調達に奔走しているというわけだ。

6月末の保有株式価値では、Arm株を約3.22兆円、子会社ソフトバンク(SBKK)株を約1.20兆円分、株式担保融資に供したほか、T-Mobile株の保有価値はカラー契約(株式先渡売買契約)による調整で実質的にゼロになっている。カラー契約とは「株を売らずに、その株を担保にして巨額の資金を前借りし、新規投資に回す」という財務スキームだ。

なぜここまで投資に注力するのか。その理由は、OpenAIに対する積極的な投資が挙げられる。SBGは、OpenAIに対する累積投資額が将来的に646億ドル(約10兆円)に達する見通しであることを公表している。投資完了後の株式持分比率は約13%となる見込みで、非公表とされているマイクロソフトの保有比率(市場推計約27%)に次ぐ、世界最大級の外部株主の一角になるとみられている。

Long-term government bond interest rates rise globally, and remain at high levels in Europe as well. Japanese and U.S. finance ministers confirm cooperation to stabilize the market.

While interest rates on long-term government bonds are rising worldwide, the yield on 10-year government bonds in the UK remains at 5.2%, the highest level since August 2007. France and Germany also reached high levels, reflecting concerns about a resurgence of inflation due to rising interest rates in Japan and the US, high energy prices due to the worsening situation in the Middle East, and a sense of caution about fiscal expansion. Mizuho Bank points out that the high proportion of British bonds owned by foreign investors makes them more likely to be linked to global interest rate trends. In addition, the ECB remains cautious, saying that the concentration of investment in AI and the increase in corporate bond issuance by US IT giants could loosen the supply and demand for government bonds, and that it is necessary to carefully monitor the impact.

7-Eleven begins selling apparel to compete with FamilyMart's success

7-Eleven will collaborate with ANDST HD to begin trial apparel sales from a few hundred stores, with plans to expand to approximately 22,000 stores nationwide. Family Mart will be rolling out ``convenience wear'' starting in 2021, and aims to exceed 20 billion yen in sales in 2025 and 30 billion yen in 2026. Seven's existing store sales remained flat at 99.6% to 100.6% compared to the same month last year from April to July 2026, and the number of customers is on the decline. FamilyMart has followed a similar trend, with sales increasing for the past 57 consecutive months. Seven is looking for hit products to stop customer loss through apparel.
