Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank Group Corp on Wednesday said it is expecting to gain between 200 billion yen and 250 billion yen ($1.9 billion-$2.4 billion) in profit this fiscal year on its Alibaba Group Holding shares sale.

SoftBank, the third-biggest Japanese wireless carrier, said it plans this month to sell Alibaba shares worth $10 billion to cut interest-bearing debt, reducing its stake in Alibaba from 32.2 percent to 27 percent.
