SoftBank Faces OpenAI Data Center Fallout
SoftBank's shares plunged after reports that OpenAI and Oracle scrapped plans to expand a flagship Texas data center, and credit-default swaps widened as S&P cut SoftBank's outlook to negative. The Bloomberg and Sightline reports highlight financing and demand fragility across a US data-center buildout, with analysts warning 30–50% of announced capacity may not materialize. The developments raise questions about SoftBank's ability to meet April 2026 OpenAI commitments.
