SoftBank posts $6.1 billion profit as AI-driven valuations boost Vision Fund
SoftBank’s Q2 profit surged to US$6.
SoftBank Group reported a net profit of ¥915 billion (US$6.1 billion) for the July–September 2025 quarter, its largest in three years, as rising AI-related valuations lifted the Vision Fund portfolio. Gains from chip-design firm Arm Holdings and robotics investments helped offset weakness in telecom operations. CEO Masayoshi Son said the company will accelerate AI investments, focusing on semiconductors and automation. Analysts viewed the results as evidence that SoftBank’s post-pandemic restructuring is paying off. Shares rose 4.3% in Tokyo following the announcement.
