SoftBank's AI Bet: Bubble or Bonanza?
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
SoftBank Group, a major technology investor, reported its second-quarter earnings amidst a surge in AI investment, sending its share price soaring. The company is deeply committed to AI, seeing it as the future of technology and a major growth area. However, this strong belief in AI also carries significant risks, with growing concerns about a potential AI bubble. Despite these concerns, analysts have recently raised their target prices for SoftBanks shares due to ongoing rapid investment in AI infrastructure and projected fast growth of leading AI developers, such as OpenAI, in which SoftBank is a major investor. SoftBanks founder, Masayoshi Son, has stated he is all in on OpenAI, aiming to become the top platform provider for artificial super intelligence within the next ten years. While the company anticipates a net profit of two hundred seven billion yen for the July to September quarter, the ultimate profitability of these highly valued AI firms remains to be seen.
