SoftBank Corp (ISIN JP3732000009) costs EUR 1.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 2:17 p.m. CEST, up 0.75 percent versus the prior close of EUR 1.34. The company completed an airborne disaster communications test on October 2, 2026, creating a ground coverage area exceeding 5 kilometers from an aircraft flying at 3,000 meters, according to SoftBank Corp.

Airborne coverage reaches 5 kilometers

SoftBank said the trial used a Disaster Relief Unit pod mounted on a large remotely piloted aircraft system. The pod transmitted radio signals from 3,000 meters and established a ground communications area exceeding 5 kilometers, while outdoor testing reached download speeds of up to 20 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps.

The result gives SoftBank a concrete emergency-communications application beyond its established mobile and fixed-line networks. The company said the system is intended to restore temporary coverage when terrestrial networks are disrupted during large-scale disasters.

Revenue rises to JPY 7.0 trillion

SoftBank's fiscal 2026 revenue was JPY 7,038.7 billion, compared with JPY 6,544.3 billion in fiscal 2025, while net income increased to JPY 550.8 billion from JPY 526.1 billion, according to Reuters. Revenue therefore grew 7.56 percent year over year, calculated from the reported fiscal-year figures.

The financial comparison matters because the new aircraft-based service remains an operational development rather than a separately reported revenue stream. SoftBank's broader business spans consumer communications, enterprise services, distribution, media and e-commerce, and financial services.

Stock stays below its yearly high

SoftBank's primary listing is on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The stock was last at JPY 238.50 on October 5, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, with a market capitalization of JPY 11.4 trillion and a 52-week range of JPY 202.60 to JPY 252.90. The Tokyo price stood 5.69 percent below its 52-week high.

The next scheduled reporting event is SoftBank's second-quarter fiscal 2026 briefing on November 9, 2026, covering the six months ending September 30, 2026, according to SoftBank Corp. That date gives investors a defined checkpoint for judging whether new connectivity projects are translating into operating progress.
