SoftBank is betting on AI and an IPO revival after swinging to a $7.7 billion profit
Briefly

SoftBank's recent quarterly profit of $7.7 billion showcases how strategic investments in AI and favorable macroeconomic conditions can lead to substantial financial recovery.
"Macro tailwinds such as US interest rate cuts and stimulus measures in China helped its public portfolio," Govil remarked, highlighting external factors enhancing their profitability.
With Vision Fund 1 having made $3 billion in gains in the second quarter, the timely performance of its listed portfolio, especially Didi Chuxing, significantly contributed to their profit.
SoftBank's significant investment in OpenAI and strong performance from private portfolio companies like Revolut, which is now valued at $45 billion, illustrates their strategic investment direction.
