SoftBank Loses $7 Billion as Tech Bets Drop
SoftBank posted a $7 billion loss after drops in its data center bets and Intel stock.
Big tech bets can bring huge wins. They can also bring giant drops. Japanese tech giant SoftBank learned this lesson again after losing $7 billion this past quarter.
The firm took a hit from its investments in U.S. data centers. Falling Intel shares also dragged down the company balance sheet. Valuations fell fast across the sector, and SoftBank felt the blow.
SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son loves to bet on big ideas. Some years these bold bets pay off. Other times, the market turns against the company.
