Stars

Icon

Arm Holdings AI Architecture

Arm Holdings is the Star: valued at about 160 billion dollars by late 2025, with SoftBank owning roughly 90 percent, making it the portfolio crown jewel.

Arm's RISC-V competitive edge and dominance in mobile plus growing share in data centers-design wins with NVIDIA and AWS-drive high growth as HPC demand surges.

Icon

PayPay Fintech Ecosystem

PayPay Fintech has monopolized Japan's QR-pay market with over 65 million users and ~60% share of domestic mobile payment volume (FY2025), processing an estimated ¥12.8 trillion in GMV in FY2025 while expanding into credit, insurance, and asset management to become a financial super‑app.

Growth remains high-revenue rose to ¥145 billion in FY2025-but ongoing marketing spend is needed to repel regional challengers; planned IPO talks target a 2026-2027 listing, keeping PayPay a top-tier Star in SoftBank's BCG matrix.

Vision Fund 2 AI Core Holdings

SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 has pivoted to generative AI, holding large stakes in OpenAI and Perplexity; OpenAI reported estimated revenue of about $1.5bn-$2.0bn in 2025 and Perplexity grew ARR over 300% year-on-year to roughly $120m in 2025.

These firms set new standards for search and productivity, driving exponential adoption of AI APIs and enterprise contracts; OpenAI's GPT API usage surged 250% in 2025.

Although capital-intensive-Vision Fund 2 committed billions in follow-on funding-market share gains in the expanding AI software market (CAGR >30% through 2028) justify Star placement in SoftBank's BCG matrix.

Icon

SoftBank Corp AI Data Centers

SoftBank Corp has spent over $10 billion through FY2025 building AI-focused data centers across Japan, using existing fiber and towers plus NVIDIA H200 clusters to capture rising local AI processing demand; this segment's revenue growth exceeded 40% YoY in 2025 versus low-single-digit mobile service growth.

These centers lift gross margin and position SoftBank Corp as a national leader in digital transformation, with AI infrastructure now a key strategic growth engine contributing an estimated ¥200-¥300 billion in annualized revenue by end-2025.

  • $10B+ invested through FY2025
  • NVIDIA H200 clusters deployed nationwide
  • AI infra revenue growth ~40% YoY (2025)
  • Mobile services growth low-single-digits
  • Estimated ¥200-¥300B annualized AI revenue (end-2025)
Icon

SB Energy Global Renewables

SB Energy Global Renewables is a Star for SoftBank with ~6.5 GW operational plus a ~12 GW pipeline (2025) across US and India, targeting AI-driven demand from hyperscalers; utility-scale storage projects rose 220% YoY to 1.8 GWh (2025), capturing top-3 market share in several US RFPs.

Capital intensity remains high-~$1.8 billion capex guidance (2025)-but revenue CAGR for the unit is >35% driven by long-term PPA wins with big tech.

  • Operational capacity: ~6.5 GW (2025)
  • Pipeline: ~12 GW (2025)
  • Storage: 1.8 GWh (2025), +220% YoY

Cash Cows

Icon

SoftBank Corp Consumer Telecom

SoftBank Corp Consumer Telecom is the group's cash cow, delivering ¥612 billion operating cash flow in FY2025 and ~¥350 billion free cash flow after ¥262 billion capex, driven by stable mobile and broadband ARPU and 5G retention strategy in Japan.

With ~36% mobile market share and capex down 12% YoY, this unit funds SoftBank Group's AI investments and covers interest on ¥6.5 trillion parent debt, supplying the steady 'milk' for Masayoshi Son's bets.

Icon

LY Corporation Digital Advertising

LY Corporation (LINE+Yahoo Japan) dominates Japan's digital ad and messaging market with ~90 million monthly users and 2025 ad revenues of ¥480 billion, giving >30% market share; growth in the Japanese digital ad market slowed to ~4-6% in 2025, so LY's high share yields steady, high-margin cash flow.

Icon

T-Mobile US Residual Stake

SoftBank's remaining 101.7 million T-Mobile US shares (worth about $15.4bn as of March 2026) and monetization rights act as a liquid fortress on the balance sheet, offering predictable value as the mature US telecom market grows slowly.

T-Mobile's ongoing buyback program - $22bn authorized through 2024-25 and ~ $8.7bn repurchased in 2025 - supports steady per-share appreciation, making this a low-growth, high-value cash cow SoftBank can sell or pledge to fund new offense phases.

Icon

Alibaba Forward Contracts

SoftBank's remaining Alibaba forward contracts and derivatives generated about ¥1.2 trillion (≈$8.8bn) in realized cash inflows in FY2025, providing predictable liquidity decoupled from China e-commerce volatility.

Management uses these instruments to fund AI investments, converting legacy Alibaba gains into stable capital while reducing exposure to stock-price swings.

  • FY2025 cash inflow: ¥1.2 trillion (~$8.8bn)
  • Locked-in settlement window: 2024-2026
  • Role: funding SoftBank Vision Fund AI allocations
  • Volatility hedge: payouts independent of Alibaba revenue growth
Icon

Japanese Broadband and Fixed Line

Japanese broadband and fixed-line remain high-margin cash cows for SoftBank, delivering stable EBITDA-about ¥320 billion in FY2025-from a defensive ~30% market share despite Japan's population decline.

These services need minimal promotional spend versus mobile/fintech, so Free cash flow funds the Vision Fund; SoftBank redirected roughly ¥450 billion into investments in FY2025.

  • Stable EBITDA ~¥320 billion (FY2025)
  • Market share ~30% in fixed/broadband
  • Low promo spend vs mobile/fintech
  • ~¥450 billion redirected to Vision Fund (FY2025)
Icon

SoftBank FY25: ¥350bn FCF, ¥1.2tn Alibaba inflows, $15.4bn T‑Mobile stake

SoftBank Corp telecom: ¥612bn operating cash flow, ¥350bn FCF (FY2025); LY (LINE+YJ) ad rev ¥480bn, ~90M users; T‑Mobile stake value $15.4bn (Mar‑2026) with $8.7bn repurchased in 2025; Alibaba derivatives cash inflows ¥1.2tn (FY2025); Japanese fixed/broadband EBITDA ¥320bn, ¥450bn reinvested into Vision Fund (FY2025).
