SoftBank Group reported a profit of 421.8 billion yen ($2.9 billion) for the April-June quarter of 2025, rebounding from a loss in the prior year, as its investments benefited from the surging interest in artificial intelligence. The Japanese technology conglomerate's quarterly sales rose 7% to 1.8 trillion yen ($12 billion).
Within SoftBank's portfolio, Arm Holdings saw its net sales increase by 4% to 152.9 billion yen ($1.05 billion) during the quarter. However, the Arm division incurred a loss of 8.7 billion yen ($60 million), contrasting with a profit of 10.2 billion yen in the same period a year ago.
SoftBank's founder, Masayoshi Son, has consistently emphasized a vibrant future in AI, and the group's overall return to profitability underscores the positive impact of its AI-focused investments. While Arm's direct contribution to SoftBank's profit was a loss in this quarter, the parent company's strong performance in AI provides a supportive environment for Arm's strategic initiatives.
