SoftBank reported a net income of 248.6 billion yuan (about $1.6 billion) for the fiscal third quarter ending December, reversing a 369 billion yuan loss in the same quarter last year. The company attributes a $4.2 billion quarterly gain to its roughly 11% stake in OpenAI, part of $17 billion in fiscal-year gains and increasing exposure to private AI valuations.
