Japan's third-largest telco said it sees operating profit rising 24 percent to 890 billion yen in the current financial year. The forecast assumes Yahoo Japan becomes a consolidated subsidiary. SoftBank said on Wednesday it would up its stake in Yahoo Japan to 44.64 percent from 12.08 percent.Advertisement
