[SoftBank Group Reports Net Loss of ¥768 Billion for First Half of Fiscal Year 2026] According to a report by TechFlow on November 10th, SoftBank Group disclosed that its net sales for the first half of fiscal year 2026 (ending September 30th) were ¥4.235 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 13.3%; net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was a loss of ¥768 billion (compared to a profit of approximately ¥2.924 trillion in the same period last year); pre-tax net loss was ¥438.7 billion. The loss was mainly due to a decrease in investment income to ¥1.726 trillion, an increase in selling and administrative expenses to ¥2.369 trillion (primarily due to increased equity incentive expenses in the AI Computing and Energy Global segments), derivative losses of approximately ¥433.3 billion, and a loss of approximately ¥597.2 billion resulting from adjustments in the procurement of power equipment for US AI data centers. During the period, Arm completed an additional investment of approximately $30 billion in OpenAI, bringing its total investment to approximately $64.6 billion, holding approximately 13% of the company. On September 30, Arm completed the acquisition of DigitalBridge Group for approximately $3.1 billion. Arm's sales were approximately ¥373.6 billion (a 35.5% increase on a yen-denominated basis). The group did not provide consolidated earnings guidance. The interim dividend was ¥22 per share (before the stock split).
