TOKYO (Reuters) -SoftBank Group Corp shares jumped as much as 7% on Wednesday after Bloomberg News reported that the group was considering buying back shares to boost chief executive officer (CEO) Masayoshi Son's stake so he could squeeze out remaining investors.
SoftBank's shares are seen as chronically undervalued by company executives, with debate around the benefits of a buyout intensifying as they plunged to lows in March.
Record share buybacks and a string of asset sales have driven a 180% share price gain since then, giving the group a market capitalization of around $140 billion and raising the hurdle for a buyout.
SoftBank was not immediately reachable for comment.
