The insights and operational expertise gained through these initiatives will be accumulated and shared progressively with other enterprises via SB OAI Japan. The SoftBank Group is promoting its transformation into an AI-native group of companies, with all employees actively utilizing AI in their daily operations. By leveraging OpenAI’s technology, the Group has already created approximately 2.5 million custom GPTs (ChatGPTs that can be customized for specific tasks or use cases) for internal use, and is now working to establish a foundation for Crystal intelligence.

Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX) and SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE:9984) are in early talks to buy stakes in Neysa Networks Pvt. (Neysa Networks Private Limited), an Indian cloud infrastructure startup, according to people familiar with the matter. The US alternative asset manager is evaluating a majority holding, while SoftBank is considering a minority stake, the people said, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private. No final decisions have been made, and other investors could participate, they said. Founded in 2023 by Sharad Sanghi and Anindya Das, Neysa provides cloud-computing infrastructure to run artificial intelligence models on demand. The startup has raised about $50 million from investors including Z47 — formerly known as Matrix Partners India — and Nexus Venture Partners, according to information on its website. Blackstone declined to comment. Representatives for SoftBank and Neysa didn’t respond to requests for comment. The investment could value Neysa at less than $300 million, though any investor would likely need to commit additional capital to fund expansion, the people said. Investors worldwide are pouring billions into capital-intensive data centers to support the rapid growth of AI services. The momentum continues even as some question whether the industry is overbuilding around a technology that has yet to yield consistent profits. A SoftBank deal would mark the Japanese conglomerate’s first new investment in India in more than three years. For Blackstone, a potential transaction would bolster its digital infrastructure portfolio in the country, where it’s been expanding real estate and infrastructure bets.

On June 22, 2026, SoftBank shared its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, with revenues of 2.08T yen and net income of 1.83T yen, representing a revenue increase of 7.1%, along with a significant increase of approximately 259.4% in EPS compared with the same quarter last year. A positive sign is that for the 11th consecutive quarter, the company has demonstrated an increase in its income line compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, indicating the company's stability and potential for growth in the future.
Another notable figure in the negative aspect is the free cash flow for the quarter, which was -1.01T yen, decreased by -0.77T from the previous year's corresponding period. Even though the company's cash flow did not improve, the management returned a substantial amount of 9.57B yen to shareholders, of which 9.57B yen was paid as a dividend and 9M yen as a repurchase of Common Stock. The dividend yield for this stock is approximately 0.2%, and it trades at 6.2x times current year's earnings, which is lower than the sector average (P/E 14.6x).
