SoftBank has sold its Nvidia shares, the Japanese company announces in its quarterly results. This involves 32.1 million shares of the chip manufacturer for an amount exceeding five billion euros.

With the freed-up funds, the Japanese company wants to focus on AI. Although this might sound contradictory since Nvidia is a key player in the AI world, SoftBank sees its investment opportunities elsewhere. The company plans to invest 30 billion euros in OpenAI.
SoftBank reported a net profit of fourteen billion euros over the past six months, representing a 191 percent increase compared to the previous year. This increase appears to be primarily due to its stake in OpenAI.
