SoftBank Plans U.S. Listing for Roze AI and Robotics Unit
The new entity would build data centers and use autonomous robots to speed AI infrastructure construction, with executives targeting a $100 billion valuation.
- On Thursday, SoftBank Group announced plans to create and list a standalone AI and robotics company called Roze in the United States as early as this year, targeting a $100 billion valuation.
- Founder and Chief Executive Masayoshi Son aims to offset pledges exceeding $30 billion committed to OpenAI by bundling existing energy, land, infrastructure assets, and ABB Robotics into the new entity.
- The proposed valuation relies on $20 billion in assets, including $12 billion in robotics investments and $8 billion in data center holdings such as Lordstown and SB Energy.
- Some SoftBank executives expressed skepticism regarding the aggressive IPO timeline and valuation, citing uncertainties stemming from conflict in the Middle East as a potential barrier.
- Establishing a standalone entity allows Roze to raise its own funds, easing SoftBank's parent-level commitments while reflecting Son's strategy to position the firm as a key financier of AI infrastructure across the United States.
