SoftBank Group reported a 248.6 billion yen ($1.62 billion) profit for the October-December period, a reversal from 369 billion yen in losses racked up in the same quarter a year earlier. Quarterly sales rose 8% to 1.98 trillion yen ($12.9 billion). Tokyo-based SoftBank Group sold its stake in Nvidia for $5.8 billion in October, in line with its focus on artificial intelligence. It has invested nearly $35 billion in OpenAI, the developer of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, for an ownership interest of about 11%, which has brought investments gains, the company said. Among other investments, last year SoftBank Group acquired Ampere, a U.S.-based semiconductor design company, for $6.5 billion, after which it became a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary. Another interest is robotics. SoftBank Group reached an agreement with ABB last year to acquire its robotics business for $5.375 billion. The deal still needs regulatory approval, including in Europe, China and the U.S.
