Top Value Stocks To Watch Right Now

Masayoshi Son, the billionaire CEO of Japanese telecom SoftBank, told a news conference in Tokyo that the DISH Network's (NASDAQ: DISH  ) counteroffer for Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S  ) was "incomplete and illusory."

Son claimed that even though SoftBank's $20.1 billion bid for Sprint was less on paper than DISH's $25.5 billion offer, it still had "superior value," and SoftBank was not going to get into a price war with DISH.

Not pulling any punches, Son laid right into DISH's claim that its bid was worth $7 a share. "Is it right? Is it true? Is it misleading," he asked. "I would say the number is wrong. Totally wrong."

The DISH price per share is actually lower than claimed, said Son, because it proposes completing the deal one year after SoftBank's July 2013 deadline, and it doesn't take into account the $600 million penalty that would be due SoftBank if Sprint backs out.
