SoftBank Group has experienced a significant shift in its investment strategy, focusing more on artificial intelligence and chip technology, particularly through its subsidiary Arm's AI chip developments and its surging valuation. This strategic pivot comes as SoftBank reports a mixed financial performance, with the Vision Fund posting its first annual gain in three years at $4.6 billion, despite a $300-million loss in the March quarter and the group recording its third consecutive annual loss. Additionally, SoftBank has sold nearly its entire stake in Alibaba, aligning with its new focus, and holds $30 billion of cash. The company's portfolio adjustments and strategic investments in AI are aimed at positioning it strongly against competitors in the technology sector, underscored by a $1.5 billion quarterly profit.
