SoftBank Corp stock: Record H1 results, higher FY2026 outlook

SoftBank Corp reported record first-half revenue, operating income and net income on Monday, November 9, 2026, and raised its full-year FY2026 outlook. The company outlined the results in SoftBank News.

Record first-half performance

Revenue for the six months through September reached 3,798.7 billion Japanese yen, up 12 percent year on year. Operating income was 642.1 billion yen, an increase of 2 percent, while net income rose 5 percent to 364.5 billion yen. Excluding one-time factors, operating income increased 13 percent year on year.

Revenue increased in all segments. The Enterprise segment generated 538.9 billion yen in second-quarter revenue, up 12 percent year on year, while segment operating income rose 20 percent to 124.8 billion yen. Cloud and AI revenue increased 37 percent, supported by demand for AI computing infrastructure and related services.

Higher full-year expectations

SoftBank said it was raising its FY2026 forecast after strong progress during the first six months and a gain from the sale of SB Energy. Management also said a net income target of approximately 600 billion yen originally set for FY2028 could be reached two years earlier.

The outlook keeps attention on execution in the Enterprise segment, where AI infrastructure, cloud services and cybersecurity are becoming more important growth areas. SoftBank said its Patching as a Service solution had attracted applications from 7,670 companies as of October 30, including group companies.
