"SoftBank Group" has become Japan's most valuable company
A historic shift has occurred in Japan's financial market: the "SoftBank Group" corporation has surpassed "Toyota Motor" to become the country's most valuable company by market capitalization. As a result, "Toyota" has had to relinquish the top spot it had held for 23 years, dropping to second place.
Following the shifts on the "Nikkei" stock exchange, "SoftBank" shares rose by over 10 percent during the day, pushing the company's market value to 47–49 trillion yen. Meanwhile, the market value of the automotive giant "Toyota Motor" remained at the 45–46 trillion yen level.
Economic experts interpret this situation as evidence of a fundamental transformation in the Japanese economy. They note that this change indicates that Japan's path of economic growth is shifting from traditional manufacturing and industrial sectors toward technology and artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
"SoftBank's" investment strategy and its influential position in the tech sector clearly suggest that the country's future economic policy will be closely linked to these areas.
