    Softbank logs unexpected loss in Q1, announces $3.4 bln buyback By Investing.com

    August 7, 20242 Mins Read


    Investing.com– SoftBank Group Corp. (TYO:) clocked an unexpected loss in the June quarter despite increased technology valuations on optimism over artificial intelligence, although the company still announced a 500 billion yen ($3.4 billion) share buyback. 

    The tech investment giant clocked a net loss attributable to owners of 174.28 billion yen, compared to a loss of 477.62 billion yen last year. The figure missed Bloomberg forecasts for a small profit of 1.05 billion yen. 

    Net sales grew 9.3% to 1.70 trillion yen, while the firm marked a 559.7 billion yen investment gain in the quarter, compared to a 699.0 billion yen loss last year. 

    But despite breaking two straight quarters of profits, Softbank (OTC:) declared a share repurchase program of 500 billion yen. 

    The buyback comes amid growing investor pressure on the tech giant to buy back its shares, which were trading at a significant discount to the total value of the firm’s holdings. 

    Softbank’s Vision Funds, through which it makes most of its tech investments, marked a gain on investments of 1.91 billion yen, down from the 159.77 billion yen seen last year. 

    But while the investment giant benefited from high-flying tech valuations in the June quarter, it grappled with increased market volatility in the past month, as questions over AI’s potential, an unwinding carry trade and fears of a U.S. recession battered equity valuations across the board. 

    British chip designer Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:), which is Softbank’s biggest holding, slumped 38.6% in the past month on doubts over AI demand, while the firm also clocked presented a disappointing outlook for the current quarter.

    Still, Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son has presented a largely bullish outlook on AI, and has flagged plans for Softbank to explore multiple ventures in the sector, including developing its own generative AI.
