SoftBank Group reported a net profit of ¥915 billion (about US$6.1 billion) for the July-September 2025 quarter, propelled by valuation gains across its AI-exposed Vision Fund portfolio. Strong marks at holdings such as Arm and selected AI startups offset weaker telecom operations, lifting consolidated results. CEO Masayoshi Son said the firm will accelerate strategic AI investments while rebalancing legacy assets. Analysts view the quarter as evidence that SoftBank’s pivot toward AI and semiconductors is generating returns, but they also cautioned about valuation cyclicality and exit timing for private holdings.
