SoftBank Group reported a second straight quarter of profitability on Monday as the Japanese tech conglomerate benefits from an artificial intelligence investment boom that has buoyed prized assets like Arm Holdings. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/13/companies/softbank-1q-profit/ #business #companies #softbank #masayoshison #ai #visionfund

SoftBank saw its first profit after four straight quarters of losses, backed up by T-Mobile shares, Arm Holdings' rally, and the rebound of Vision Fund, despite skepticism over the unit's privately held startups. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/02/08/companies/softbank-profit-up/ #business #companies #softbank #investments #visionfund
