SoftBank Corp. outlined its AI investment priorities and financial discipline on Friday, November 6, in a CFO message accompanying its 2026 Integrated Report. The company said it is moving toward a role as a provider of next-generation social infrastructure while preparing AI-related businesses for commercial expansion.
In the message, Board Director and Senior Vice President & CFO Osamu Akiyama reviewed the three years through fiscal 2025 under the previous medium-term plan. SoftBank Corp. said it rebuilt a business foundation weakened by mobile-service price reductions and achieved a turnaround in mobile-service revenue one year earlier than planned. Growth at PayPay helped the company exceed its initial forecasts for consolidated revenue, operating income and net income in each fiscal year, according to the SoftBank Corp. CFO message.
The company invested 200 billion yen in capital expenditure for AI data centers and AI computing infrastructure during the previous plan. SoftBank Corp. said it used funds raised through Bond-Type Class Shares and allocated capital while considering financial soundness. The CFO also said the next phase requires more employees to move into AI-related businesses and stronger coordination among technology, sales and finance teams.
For investors, the message places execution and capital allocation alongside AI growth. The company must convert technological preparations into commercial businesses while maintaining financial discipline and shareholder returns.
