日本軟銀收購斯普林特

????分析師早就表示，美國第三大移動服務運營商斯普林特（Sprint）應該與一個競爭對手合并，提升市場份額。而今年10月，斯普林特70%的份額卻被日本的科技公司軟銀（Softbank）買走。日本軟銀自身負債累累，而且之前毫無在美國提供手機服務的經(jīng)驗。

????而且軟銀拋出的價碼只高不低。200億美元（含27%的溢價）的價格算得上是日本有史以來最大的海外兼并。不過收購斯普林特的消息一傳出，日本軟銀的股價立即應聲下跌了20%。

Softbank-Sprint

????Analysts have long said that Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. mobile service carrier, needed to merge with a rival to boost market share. Instead, 70% of it was bought in October by Japanese technology company Softbank, which has a lot of debt and no experience providing cell phone service in the U.S.

????And it's unlikely Softbank underpaid. At $20 billion (a 27% premium to Sprint's value), the deal ranks as the biggest Japanese overseas acquisitions in history. Softbank's shares fell 20% on news of the deal.
