The Japanese giant invested more than $30 billion in the ChatGPT maker.\nIn the March quarter alone, the Vision Fund posted gains of around $20 billion, with OpenAI accounting for nearly all of the increase.\nThe strong performance from OpenAI offset losses from several other investments in SoftBank's portfolio, including stakes in Coupang, DiDi Global and Klarna.\nSoftBank is aiming to position itself at the center of the artificial intelligence boom through investments across AI and semiconductor companies, with OpenAI — led by Sam Altman — serving as the centerpiece of its strategy.\nThe Japanese giant secured a $10 billion loan backed by its stake in OpenAI last month.\nThe heavy weighting in OpenAI exposure has raised concerns about its financial stability. In early March, S&P downgraded SoftBank's credit rating, citing that the additional investment would \"further reduce SoftBank Group's financial capacity.\" \nSoftBank is reportedly setting up a new venture, Roze AI, which aims for a valuation of up to $100 billion through a potential IPO in the second half of 2026.\nThis push into AI and robotics could bolster the company’s resilience and ongoing commitment to integrating AI with robotics, potentially providing a counterbalance to concerns about its heavy investments in OpenAI and its financial credibility going forward.\nBenzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Softbank has a Growth score in the 67th percentile. It maintains a weak price trend in the short, medium and long term.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by a Benzinga editor.\nPhoto courtesy: Camilo Concha on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"2","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.2","shortVersion":"4.42.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2635478637","isCrawlerRequest":true}
