SoftBank Group Corp. (SFTBY): Valuation Snapshot
SoftBank Group Corp. (SFTBY) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong lens for one, so TickerWorth does not publish a DCF fair value for it. What its filings and market data do show is below. Snapshot as of Oct 19, 2026.

How is a bank like SFTBY valued?
This is a bank / insurer / financial. A free-cash-flow DCF is structurally the wrong lens here (their debt and float are raw material, not financing), so we don't publish one. Our bank model (justified price-to-book) declined to value it too: the model lands at 0.0x the market price — more than three times away in one direction or the other, which says more about the inputs than about the bank, so we don't publish it. The price-to-book and price-to-earnings figures below are context for comparison, not a fair value.

What we can say
SoftBank Group Corp. (SFTBY) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a free-cash-flow discounted-cash-flow (DCF) model is structurally the wrong lens for it: for these businesses debt and float are raw material, not financing, so there is no meaningful 'free cash flow' to discount. Instead of a misleading intrinsic-value number, this page reads SFTBY the way financials are actually valued — on relative multiples such as price-to-earnings and, above all, price-to-book — plus a plain description of where the stock trades. It is a descriptive snapshot, not a valuation, and not investment advice.
Read the full reasoning
On the numbers we do have, SFTBY trades at a recent price of $15.20, a market capitalisation of about $173,251,100,672, sitting 25% of the way up its 52-week range ($10.55–$28.97), on the OTC Markets OTCPK.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing SFTBY's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 5.5× (cheaper than the peer median of 22.2×); P/B of 375.6× (richer than the peer median of 6.7×); P/S of 0.0× (cheaper than the peer median of 6.1×); Dividend yield of 0.2% (richer than the peer median of 0.8%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. SFTBY shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 375.61 and book value of $0.04 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. SFTBY is in a mixed trend, trading -47.5% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is -29.3%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
To be exact about what this page is not: we are not saying the numbers for SFTBY are unavailable. They are, and they are above. We are saying a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong instrument for this kind of business, and publishing one anyway — because the inputs happen to exist — would be a precise answer to the wrong question. Refusing is the more useful answer, and it is the same rule we apply to every name in this category.
