The Gabelli Global Content & Connectivity Fund Sergey Dluzhevskiy, CFA | “SoftBank Group Corp. (9.6%; +64.2%) benefited from a 134% gain in shares of its largest holding, Arm Holdings (driven by investor enthusiasm about Arm extending its platform breadth to include production of silicon products and enhanced growth trajectory related to this dynamic). SoftBank Group Corp. (9.6%) (9984 – $36.67 / ¥5,963 – Tokyo Stock Exchange) is an investment firm managing a portfolio of listed (including stakes in Arm, SoftBank Corp., Intel Corp.) and unlisted holdings (directly and through Vision Fund), with a focus on artificial intelligence, robotics, and ride sharing. In late February 2026, SoftBank agreed to participate in OpenAI's funding round and to make a follow-on investment of $30 billion. Pro forma for this investment (with the remaining $10 billion tranche expected to be completed in October), SoftBank's aggregate ownership interest in OpenAI will rise to 13%.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 14, 2026 | View Pitch |
Baillie Gifford - International Alpha Donald Farquharson / Tom Walsh / Roderick Snell / Jenny Davis / Chris Davies / Steve Vaughan | “More recent holdings such as Taiwanese chip designer MediaTek and Japanese technology conglomerate SoftBank have made a sizable contribution, too. Shortly after we initiated our position in SoftBank, it announced record profits boosted by outstanding operational performance from separately listed chip designer, Arm, and continued upward revisions in OpenAI's private valuation. Together, Arm and OpenAI now account for about two-thirds of SoftBank's value, with additional exposure to a range of physical AI assets which look promising. SoftBank overtook Toyota to become Japan's most valuable company midway through the second quarter. The recent addition of MediaTek and SoftBank, with other AI enablers in semiconductor equipment, was partly motivated by this consideration.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 29, 2026 | View Pitch |
