SoftBank is reportedly hiring banks to arrange initial public offerings for two units, SB Energy and an AI robotics spinoff called Roze, according to sources cited by multiple outlets. The reports say SoftBank has begun the process of selecting financial institutions to support the IPOs in the United States. One source-linked report indicates SB Energy could be scheduled to go public as early as September. That same report adds that SB Energy is expected to seek a valuation of more than US$50 billion, though the figures and timing remain subject to change and have not been confirmed by SoftBank publicly. The other reported IPO involves Roze, which is described as an AI robotics spinoff. While details on timing, valuation targets, and the exact structure of the Roze offering are not provided in the excerpts, the outlets agree on the core point that SoftBank is engaging banks as part of its efforts to bring both businesses to market. Any final listing plans depend on regulatory approvals, market conditions, and company decisions.
