The story

SoftBank Group released its consolidated results for April–September 2026, reporting a net loss of ¥768.0 billion. This represents a sharp deterioration in earnings from the year-earlier period, when the company was profitable. The factors cited were higher SG&A expenses and losses associated with changes to its U.S. AI data center plan.

Investment gains during the period fell sharply, with Vision Fund investment gains declining to ¥341.2 billion, roughly one-tenth of the previous level. Stagnant valuations at portfolio companies also contributed.
