SoftBank Shares Dive After Nvidia Sale Spooks AI-Wary Market

(Bloomberg)

SoftBank Group Corp.'s stock slid as much as 10% after the tech investor's exit from AI chipmaker Nvidia Corp. spooked investors already nervous about climbing tech-sector valuations. The Japanese company's shares touched a one-month low in Tokyo after disclosing Tuesday it had sold its entire stake in the world's most valuable company for $5.8 billion to help bankroll future artificial intelligence investments. The fall came despite better-than-projected quarterly results from SoftBank, propped up in large part by its slice of OpenAI. Nvidia's shares slid 3% in US trading.

SoftBank's stock remains one of the beneficiaries of an investment frenzy that's driven the valuations of leading AI players to historic highs. That market euphoria has in turn triggered concerns about whether an industry bubble is forming.

SoftBank's Nvidia-exit coincides with a debate about whether spending by big tech firms from Meta Platforms Inc. to Alphabet Inc. - expected to surpass $1 trillion in coming years - will produce commensurate returns. Some investors worry about the Japanese company's growing exposure to OpenAI at the expense of established cash cows like Nvidia.

"The company appears to have sold off Nvidia and bet everything on OpenAI - and investor opinions on this move are divided," said Tomoichiro Kubota a senior market analyst with Matsui Securities. "Given the significant rise in its stock price, profit-taking by investors wary of OpenAI's ability to achieve solid monetization going forward gained the upper hand" for today.

Wednesday's selloff takes place against the broader backdrop of SoftBank's ambitions to insert itself into the AI narrative: a plethora of costly forays into areas from chipmaking to data center construction.

Founder Masayoshi Son has been unwinding positions to pay for those envisioned projects, which SoftBank Shares Dive After Nvidia Sale Spooks AI-Wary Market include Stargate data centers with OpenAI and Oracle Corp. and plans to develop an AI chip with Arm Holdings Plc. His company is keen to become a leading player in that growing ecosystem, with plans to leverage stakes in sector linchpins from OpenAI to US chip designer Ampere Computing LLC. On Tuesday, SoftBank executives sidestepped questions about whether the industry was fomenting an AI bubble, and said the stake sale was a necessary financing measure that had nothing to do with Nvidia's prospects.

"I can't say if we're in an AI bubble or not," Chief Financial Officer Yoshimitsu Goto said during an earnings conference. SoftBank sold Nvidia "so that the capital can be utilized for our financing," he added, without elaborating.

SoftBank has sold out of Nvidia once before, in 2019. The company resumed buying small stakes in the US company in 2020 - two years before the advent of ChatGPT ignited a historic rally. It disclosed that it increased its stake in the US chipmaker to around $3 billion at the end of March. SoftBank's done well just on that measure: Nvidia has gained more than $2 trillion of market value since. That rally, along with its investment in OpenAI, helped prop up SoftBank's bottom line. The Japanese company reported net income of ¥2.5 trillion ($16.2 billion) in its fiscal second quarter. OpenAI's value has risen $14.6 billion since SoftBank invested, Goto said. Son's company now boasts a portfolio that includes some of the world's most sought-after names in the industry, including China's ByteDance Ltd. and Perplexity AI Inc. Those stakes boosted SoftBank's paper gains and helped drive a 78% surge in its share price over the three months ending in September - its best such performance since the December quarter of 2005. The challenge going forward will be to balance the financing behind a flurry of deals, as well as any new initiatives Son may take on. The billionaire's endeavors - which include a potential $1 trillion AI manufacturing hub in Arizona - have seen him court US President Donald Trump as well as the chiefs of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and South Korean conglomerates. SoftBank even explored a takeover of US chipmaker Marvell Technology Inc. earlier this year.

"The value of the company fluctuates on the market's assessment of the value of its investments, so we think the shares are likely to prove to be highly volatile up ahead," Citigroup analyst Keiichi Yoneshima wrote in a note.

"But with NAV on an expansionary trajectory, we think investors will warm to the shares."

The above-mentioned communication included a link to a clip of an interview given by Vlad Tenev, Chief Executive Officer and President of Robinhood Markets, Inc. The following is a partial transcription of the clip:

Vlad Tenev: If you think about what's a part of your portfolio if you are a high net-worth individual, there are a lot of these assets that actually retail can't access currently. I think that tokenization is a way to enable that at scale and reduce some of the downsides that would typically be associated with holding those assets, such as lack of liquidity being locked into positions and not being able to chunk the assets out and invest in portions of them. So that's why we are continuing to push on it both in the US and outside. And you should expect this to become bigger and bigger in the coming years. Of course starting with stocks, which is the asset class that we think has the most potential and we're also closes to.
