<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

AI Progress From Microsoft – Phi-4 Outperforms Human-like reasoner AI Model GPT-4o, Bitcoin Rumor

Japanese company SoftBank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) announced a $100 billion investment and 100,000 jobs created in a commitment to the U.S. on Monday,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42505666/softbanks-masayoshi-son-to-reportedly-announce-100b-us-investment-during-meeting-with-trump"> confirming earlier reports</a>.
What Happened: SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son made the announcement alongside President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago Monday, showing his confidence in the economic health of the U.S. since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/12/42511472/trump-hits-7-year-high-in-favorability-ratings-how-republicans-democrats-men-and-women-view-president-elect">Trump won the 2024 election.</a>
"My confidence level to the economy of the United States has tremendously increased with his victory," Son said, acknowledging Trump.
Son said he is excited to commit $100 billion and 100,000 jobs to the U.S. as a sign of confidence in what's to come.
"This is double of last time as President Trump said, because I say President Trump is a double down president. I'm going to have to double down."
Son said business is important and technology is important. The CEO also expressed confidence Trump can bring "the world into peace again."
"That's my additional hope."
Trump praised Son as one of the top voices and figures in emerging technology, calling him a "brilliant guy."
"This historic investment is a monumental demonstration of confidence in America's future, and it will help ensure that artificial intelligence, emerging technologies and other industries of tomorrow are built, created and grown right here in the U.S.A." Trump said.
Trump reminded people that SoftBank committed to invest $50 billion after the 2016 election and said that it kept that promise.
After Son spoke, Trump asked the SoftBank CEO if he would make it $200 billion, putting him on the spot for a larger commitment.
Son said his promise is for $100 billion.
"I will try to make it happen. He is a great negotiator," Son said.

Why It's Important: The $100 billion and jobs commitments will come over the next four years and could show a strengthened relationship between one of the largest Asian investment companies and the U.S.
Softbank is the owner of the Softbank Vision Fund, one of the largest technology-focused investment funds worldwide. The company is also a key investor in Arm Holdings and OpenAI.
"You'll have my support. You'll have our country's support," Trump said to Son.
The announcement could show strengthened relationships between the U.S. and Japan, which comes as the president-elect has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake"> threatened higher tariffs</a> on goods exported from China.
Since winning the 2024 election, business leaders from the U.S. and other countries flocked to gain support from Trump and push for future growth.
Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42485193/sam-altman-to-donate-1m-to-trumps-inauguration-fund-following-zuckerberg-bezos-eager-to-support"> each pledged $1 million</a> to Trump's inauguration fund through their companies or personal wealth.

The world's richest man Elon Musk has been a supporter of Trump and is also set to have a role in the new White House administration as the co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk's influence on Trump could lead to new government regulations that could benefit Tesla and SpaceX and help add to his wealth.

Trump Says SoftBank's $100B Commitment To US Is 'Monumental Demonstration Of Confidence In America's Future'

Softbank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) CEO Masayoshi Son is expected to declare a $100 billion investment in the United States during a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida on Monday.
What Happened: The Japanese tech-investing giant&#8217;s founder will also commit to creating 100,000 jobs in AI and related infrastructure, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/16/softbank-ceo-to-announce-100-billion-investment-in-us-during-visit-with-trump.html">CNBC</a> sources. This investment is anticipated to be finalized by the end of Trump&#8217;s term.
The funding may come from various Softbank-controlled sources, including the Vision Fund, capital projects, or chipmaker Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), where Softbank holds a majority stake. Some of the funds might not be newly raised, potentially including previously announced investments like Softbank&#8217;s $1.5 billion in OpenAI.

This announcement echoes a similar pledge made in 2016 when Softbank agreed&nbsp;to invest $50 billion in&nbsp;the U.S. to create 50,000 jobs following Trump&#8217;s first election victory.
Why It Matters: The announcement comes at a time when investor sentiment is shifting back toward the ‘BoJ trade,' a strategy involving long positions in Japanese equities and banks, while shorting the yen and Japanese government bonds (JGBs). This renewed interest has gained traction, especially after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42470155/trumps-win-kicks-the-boj-trade-back-into-gear-is-japan-the-new-inflation-play">Trump&#8217;s election win</a>, as noted by JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou. The yen has weakened, moving from 150 to 153 against the dollar, and the probability of a December rate hike has dropped significantly.
Additionally, the backdrop of this investment includes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42502247/trumps-ex-secretary-of-state-mike-pompeo-backs-nippon-steels-149b-acquisition-of-us-steel-citing-national-security-concerns">national security concerns</a> surrounding foreign investments in the U.S. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently supported Nippon Steel Corp.&#8217;s proposed $14.9 billion acquisition of United States Steel Corp., citing the need to strengthen America's position against Chinese market dominance. This deal faces opposition from both President Joe Biden and Trump, with Biden expected to block it on national security grounds.

Softbank's Masayoshi Son To Reportedly Announce $100B US Investment During Meeting With Trump

OpenAI enables employees to sell up to $1.5 billion worth of shares in a tender offer led by SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>). 
What Happened: The transaction, set to close by Dec 24, allows SoftBank to deepen its stake in the AI leader while offering liquidity to current and former employees, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/26/openai-gets-1point5-billion-investment-from-softbank-in-tender-offer.html">reported</a> CNBC, citing people familiar with the matter.
The deal, priced at $210 per share, aligns with OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">recent $157 billion valuation</a>. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son drove the move, following a $500 million investment in OpenAI's last funding round. This marks another step in Son's aggressive AI strategy, with SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 also backing startups like Glean and Perplexity.
OpenAI, backed by $13 billion in funding from investors including Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), has emphasized the importance of such tender offers amid a dormant IPO market. 
This initiative reflects the company&#8217;s commitment to employee satisfaction and continued capital-raising to sustain its growth in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41312615/investors-pour-billions-into-openai-whats-driving-this-unprecedented-surge-in-funding">competitive generative AI market</a>.

SoftBank Secures Bigger OpenAI Stake With $1.5B Employee Share Buyout: Report

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday said that he passed on an opportunity to acquire full ownership of the chipmaker, now valued at $3.6 trillion when SoftBank Group&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) Masayoshi Son offered financial backing years ago.
What Happened: During a candid exchange at Nvidia&#8217;s AI summit in Tokyo, Huang revealed that Son approached him about a decade ago with an offer to help finance a complete buyout of Nvidia, believing the stock market undervalued the company at the time.
&#8220;Now I regret not taking you up,&#8221; Huang told Son during their public conversation. &#8220;That was a great idea.&#8221;
The conversation took a lighter turn when Son playfully pretended to cry on Huang&#8217;s shoulder after discussing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39429393/regret-missing-out-on-nvidia-rally-youre-not-alone-as-softbanks-masayoshi-son-laments-157b-lost-">SoftBank&#8217;s early exit from Nvidia investments</a>. &#8220;We can cry together,&#8221; Huang joked. &#8220;Could you imagine if today, you were the largest shareholder?&#8221;

Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s remarkable ascent has been fueled by the artificial intelligence boom, with the company&#8217;s chips playing a crucial role in powering AI technologies. The company&#8217;s stock has surged nearly 200% this year alone, propelling Huang&#8217;s net worth to $128 billion and making him the 11th richest person globally, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The discussion preceded the announcement of a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">partnership between Nvidia and SoftBank</a> to develop Japan&#8217;s most powerful AI supercomputer, marking a significant development in Japan&#8217;s AI infrastructure expansion.
Son, who ranks 133rd on Bloomberg&#8217;s wealth index with a $15.9 billion fortune, has seen his wealth increase by more than $5 billion this year, though that pales in comparison to what might have been had SoftBank retained its earlier Nvidia investments.

Nvidia's CEO Reveals The Massive Deal He Missed And Why It Is Today A $3.6 Trillion Regret

SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) has made a significant financial turnaround, reporting a profit of $7.8 billion in its latest quarter, largely attributed to successful Indian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">IPOs and improved tech valuations</a>.
What Happened: The Japanese conglomerate&#8217;s profit in the quarter ending September starkly contrasts the $6.05 billion loss in the same period last year, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a86569e7-8743-4474-a6a8-13a3f30085e3">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The Vision Fund, known for its high-risk, tech-heavy investments, contributed to this turnaround with a $3.95 billion profit. This is the first time in nine quarters that the Vision Fund&#8217;s cumulative investment gains have turned positive.
Notable IPOs in India, including those of Ola Electric and FirstCry, have significantly boosted SoftBank&#8217;s valuations. The company&#8217;s CFO, Yoshimitsu Goto, highlighted the positive impact of these IPOs, which lifted valuations by $1.7 billion.
Other factors contributing to SoftBank&#8217;s improved financial position include valuation gains at Coupang in South Korea and DiDi in China, as well as a favorable impact on net income from the weak yen.

SoftBank Is In Profit Once Again Thanks To Indian IPOs: What's Next For Masayoshi Son?

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) announced a partnership on Tuesday to establish Japan&#8217;s most powerful artificial intelligence supercomputer, marking a significant step in the country&#8217;s push to become a global AI powerhouse.
What Happened: The collaboration unveiled at the Nvidia AI Summit Japan, centers on SoftBank&#8217;s implementation of Nvidia&#8217;s advanced Blackwell platform and plans to utilize the Nvidia Grace Blackwell platform for future supercomputing initiatives.
&#8220;Japan has a long history of pioneering technological innovations with global impact,&#8221; said Jensen Huang, Nvidia&#8217;s founder and CEO. &#8220;With SoftBank&#8217;s significant investment in Nvidia&#8217;s full-stack AI, Omniverse and 5G AI-RAN platforms, Japan is leaping into the AI industrial revolution.&#8221;
SoftBank has successfully piloted the world&#8217;s first combined AI and 5G telecom network using Nvidia&#8217;s AI Aerial platform. This innovation could potentially generate billions in new revenue for global telecom operators by transforming base stations from cost centers into AI revenue-producing assets.
&#8220;Countries and regions worldwide are accelerating the adoption of AI for social and economic growth,&#8221; said Junichi Miyakawa, SoftBank&#8217;s president and CEO. &#8220;Through our long collaboration with Nvidia, SoftBank is leading this transformation from the forefront.&#8221;
The partnership includes several key initiatives:
<ul>
<li>SoftBank will receive the world&#8217;s first Nvidia DGX B200 systems for its new DGX SuperPOD supercomputer</li>
<li>Development of an AI marketplace using Nvidia AI Enterprise software</li>
<li>Implementation of Nvidia&#8217;s AI-RAN solution, which SoftBank estimates can reduce power consumption by 40% compared to traditional 5G infrastructure</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: The collaboration represents a strategic shift for both companies, with SoftBank estimating potential returns of up to 219% for each AI-RAN server added to its infrastructure. The company plans to begin global deployment of its AI-RAN solution, dubbed &#8220;AITRAS,&#8221; in 2026.
This partnership follows SoftBank&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">recent moves in the AI sector</a>, including its $960 million investment commitment for developing Japanese-language AI models and its acquisition of UK-based chipmaker Graphcore.
The initiative is expected to accelerate Japan&#8217;s position in the global AI race while providing new opportunities for telecommunications, transportation, robotics, and healthcare industries.

Nvidia And SoftBank To Build Japan's Top AI Supercomputer On Blackwell Platform — Jensen Huang Says Tokyo Is 'Leaping Into The AI Industrial Revolution'

SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) reported quarterly losses of $(0.40) per share. This is a 67.21 percent increase over losses of $(1.22) per share from the same period last year. The company reported $10.92 billion in sales this quarter. This is a 3.82 percent decrease over sales of $11.35 billion the same period last year.

&nbsp;
<h3>The Scoop</h3>
SoftBank and Apollo discussed a giant fund to invest in data centers, chip factories, and other AI projects, joining a stampede of capital rushing to fund the next digital revolution.
The two talked about setting up a fund of more than $20 billion, people familiar with the matter said, though the talks have cooled since the summer and may go nowhere. The venture would likely involve industry partners including Arm, the chip giant that is majority-owned by SoftBank, the people said. One person familiar with the matter said SoftBank had also had talks with other funding sources, though those with Apollo were the most advanced.
SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son has been <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-16/masayoshi-son-seeks-to-build-a-100-billion-ai-chip-venture">looking for a deep-pocketed partner</a> to build a competitor to Nvidia, which dominates the market for high-end AI chips, Bloomberg reported in February. He's no stranger to giant, bet-the-farm funds that underwrite whole sectors. His $100 billion Vision Fund, launched in 2017, did as much as any investor to inflate the unicorn bubble, and overbet on startups only lightly enabled by tech, like on-demand dog-walking and, famously, WeWork.
Now Son is all in on artificial intelligence, which he says will be 10 times smarter than all of human intelligence by 2030 and <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/21/softbank-ceo-predicts-ai-that-is-10000-times-smarter-than-humans-.html">10,000 times</a> smarter a few years after that. He has <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/softbanks-son-says-artificial-general-intelligence-will-soon-surpass-humans-8bcdb47f?mod=tech_lead_story">admitted to asking ChatGPT</a> for investment advice, warned that companies have to "take advantage of it or be left behind," and in a presentation slide that was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/softbank-ceo-masayoshi-son-on-ai-doubters-being-left-behind-2023-10">puzzling</a> even by Son's enigmatic standards, compared AI doubters to goldfish.
Representatives for both companies declined to comment.

'Apollo, SoftBank Discussed A Giant Fund To Invest In Data Centers' - Semafor

In a bid to restructure its operations, Jellysmack, a SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)-backed creator-economy startup, is laying off employees and reducing its creator program.
What Happened: Jellysmack is undergoing a reorganization and will be downsizing its workforce, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jellysmack-is-laying-off-staff-as-it-scales-back-its-creator-program/articleshow/114434680.cms">reported</a> Business Insider. The company has confirmed that 22 U.S.-based employees will be affected, with French employees also facing potential layoffs in the coming months.
The company is shifting its focus to its content business, which includes YouTube channels like Gamology, House of Bounce, Beauty Studio, and Oh My Goal. It is scaling back a program that helped creators earn money by posting content on Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)-owned apps like Facebook.
&#8220;Jellysmack is making organizational adjustments to better align resources with key areas of growth,&#8221; a company representative said according to the report. &#8220;Jellysmack&#8217;s goal is to prioritize and invest in our business units that hold IP, given their continued success on YouTube.&#8221;

Popular Analyst Predicts 50% Surge For Memecoin As Burn Rate Spikes 389%</a>
This move comes after Jellysmack faced challenges in its business, including a decrease in monetization across platforms. The company, which initially focused on creating its own YouTube content, shifted to working with other creators to edit and recirculate their content across platforms like Facebook and Snap Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) Snapchat to capture additional ad revenue.
Why It Matters: Jellysmack&#8217;s decision to restructure its operations and focus on its content business comes at a time when the creator economy is undergoing significant changes. Meta Platforms Inc. has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41375934/meta-confirms-layoffs-across-instagram-whatsapp-and-reality-labs-amid-strategic-reshuffle">restructuring its operations and laying off employees</a> across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality Labs. This is part of a broader trend of tech companies reevaluating their strategies and operations, which has been ongoing for some time.
This was part of a strategic reshuffle aimed at boosting efficiency. The company has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37501959/meta-employees-fear-layoffs-as-companys-year-of-efficiency-becomes-permanent-report">undergoing a prolonged process of evaluating individual employee performance for 2023</a>, with the reviews now concluding. This has left many employees anxious about their job security.

SoftBank-Backed Jellysmack Restructures, Lays Off Employees, And Scales Back Creator Program On Meta Platforms

Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), has forecasted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/09/40836225/human-like-reasoning-strawberry-ahead-aggressive-nvidia-buying-hotter-inflation-data">advent of artificial superintelligence</a> within the next ten years. This revelation was shared during the SoftBank World 2024 conference.
What Happened: Son, Japan&#8217;s second wealthiest individual, commended OpenAI for its recent technological strides. He specifically mentioned the new GPT-o1 models, codenamed &#8220;Strawberry,&#8221; which he believes have developed reasoning capabilities, <a href="https://observer.com/2024/10/softbank-masayoshi-son-ai-openai-investment/">reported</a> the Observer on Friday. 
"This technology will evolve to a point&nbsp;where your happiness will be its greatest reward," said Son. He claimed that ASI, which would be 10,000 times more powerful than human intelligence, could be achieved within a decade.
Son envisions a future where AI can perform everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping and investment management, ultimately enhancing human happiness. His optimistic outlook is consistent with his history of making bold tech investments.
Looking forward, Son anticipates the achievement of artificial general intelligence, which matches human intelligence, within two to three years. 
He also predicts artificial superintelligence, surpassing human capabilities, within a decade. SoftBank&#8217;s AI strategy is centered around ARM Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), a U.K.-based chip designer, with plans to expand into AI chips, data centers, and industrial robots.

Why It Matters: Son&#8217;s prediction comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/09/40836225/human-like-reasoning-strawberry-ahead-aggressive-nvidia-buying-hotter-inflation-data">growing interest</a> in A.I. advancements, particularly with OpenAI&#8217;s &#8220;Strawberry&#8221; models. These models are noted for their human-like reasoning capabilities, which could revolutionize various industries.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">SoftBank&#8217;s ambitions</a> to rival NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in A.I. chip production reportedly faced setbacks when talks with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) fell through. Despite this, SoftBank is exploring partnerships with other manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Additionally, Son&#8217;s focus on AI aligns with Sam Altman&#8216;s commitment to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38608040/openais-sam-altman-says-were-making-agi-and-it-will-be-worth-it-dont-care-if-we-burn-500m-or-50b">developing artificial general intelligence</a>, regardless of the financial cost. This shared vision underscores the significant investments and strategic shifts occurring in the A.I. sector.
Interestingly, SoftBank&#8217;s past decision to sell its Nvidia shares in 2019 resulted in a missed opportunity, as those shares would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">now be approximately worth over $150 billion</a>. This highlights the high stakes and rapid evolution of the AI and tech investment landscape.

SoftBank's Masayoshi Son Predicts Artificial Superintelligence Within A Decade After Testing OpenAI's 'Strawberry' Models

Struggling chipmaker Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)&nbsp;continues to receive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo" rel="noreferrer noopener">takeover proposals from</a> chip companies, the latest being Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) following Qualcomm Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) proposal earlier.
Arm Holdings recently proposed to acquire Intel&#8217;s product unit. However, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-27/arm-rejected-by-intel-after-approaching-it-about-buying-product-unit?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that Intel is not looking to sell the business division.
Intel stock plunged 31% as it failed to capitalize on the artificial intelligence shift, which is something that contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) excelled at.

Meanwhile, some reports indicated Intel&#8217;s plans to convert its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40897994/whats-going-on-with-intel-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">foundry business into</a> an independent unit, including exploring a spinoff into a publicly traded company. The chipmaker also explored divesting stake in the programmable chip unit&nbsp;Altera.
However, Intel&#8217;s recent big wins included a&nbsp;U.S. chipmaking deal from&nbsp;Amazon.Com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web services and the U.S. Chip grant.

What's Going On With Intel Stock On Friday?

Rick Cohen, founder of Symbotic (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYM#NASDAQ">SYM</a>), has seen $9 billion erased from his net worth following a significant drop in his AI-powered company&#8217;s stock price.
What Happened: Cohen, who owns and chairs C&amp;S Wholesale Grocers, founded Symbotic which manufactures AI-driven warehouse robots. Symbotic went public in mid-2022 via a special-purpose acquisition vehicle and has been backed by Masayoshi Son&#8216;s SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) and American retail Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
Cohen&#8217;s net worth was $21.4 billion at the start of January, placing him 94th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. However, his wealth has plummeted by 41% to $12.6 billion this year, dropping him to 178th place, Business Insider<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/finance/news/a-grocery-tycoon-turned-walmart-robotics-supplier-is-one-of-this-years-biggest-wealth-losers-after-9-billion-wipeout/amp_articleshow/113001040.cms"> reported</a> on Tuesday.
Symbotic&#8217;s stock, which surged over 325% last year, has fallen more than 60% in 2024. According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, the stock closed at $19.20 on Monday. The company&#8217;s value has now decreased to under $10 billion.
The decline is attributed to construction delays and increased implementation costs, which have squeezed profit margins. Symbotic also faces a class-action lawsuit alleging it misled the market about its growth prospects.

Why It Matters: The dramatic decline in Symbotic&#8217;s stock price comes on the heels of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/40023494/symbotic-stock-falls-on-q3-earnings-what-investors-need-to-know">third-quarter financial results. </a>Symbotic&#8217;s shares plummeted in after-hours trading following the release of these results. The company reported increased costs and delays in its projects, which have significantly impacted its profitability.
These financial troubles have not only affected the company&#8217;s stock but have also led to a substantial decrease in the net worth of its founder. A class-action lawsuit, filed today, further compounds the company&#8217;s woes, alleging that Symbotic misled investors about its growth potential.

Chinese tech giants Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) are significantly increasing their investments in artificial intelligence startups, despite a general decrease in their overall investments.
What Happened: Since 2023, Alibaba and Tencent have directed 40% and 30% of their deals in China, respectively, toward AI startups, marking record-high investments in the sector for both companies, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/alibaba-tencent-cast-wide-net-for-ai-upstarts-efed55ee">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. 
This shift in focus comes at a time when the two tech giants have been scaling back their investments due to regulatory challenges, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a slowing Chinese economy.
Despite these challenges, both companies have identified AI as a strategic priority. They aim to leverage the technology to strengthen their market influence and technological edge. 
This renewed focus on AI is seen as a move to drive profits and expand their cloud services, which offer access to AI computing power and foundational AI models developed in-house. Wei Sun, senior analyst at market research firm Counterpoint Research stated "Investment in AI startups is a strategic effort to strengthen their technological edge and expand market influence," according to the report.

"Generative AI holds massive business potential, and no tech giant would want to miss the opportunity," Charlie Dai, an analyst at market research company&nbsp;Forrester said, according to the report. "Investing in leading startups, even [ones that have already received investment from] competitors, will help tech giants to grasp the opportunities as much as they can."
Alibaba and Tencent have been instrumental in the growth of six Chinese AI startups, each valued at over $1 billion. These startups, known as China&#8217;s &#8220;Little Artificial-Intelligence Dragons,&#8221; have received significant funding from both companies.
Why It Matters: The increased investment in AI startups by Alibaba and Tencent is a significant development in the global AI landscape. This move comes at a time when Asian startups are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40409572/nvidia-ai-dominance-challenged-by-asian-startups-betting-on-energy-efficient-and-cost-effective-sili">challenging the dominance</a> of NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the AI chip market by developing more energy-efficient and cost-effective chips for specific AI applications.
Alibaba, in particular, has been heavily investing in generative AI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39255392/alibaba-claims-its-new-ai-model-beats-metas-llama-3-promising-major-advancements">claiming that its new AI models</a> outperform Meta Platforms Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Llama 3 in specific tasks.

Furthermore, SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">acquired UK-based chipmaker</a> Graphcore to bolster its AI capabilities. This acquisition highlights the growing importance of AI infrastructure, including semiconductors and systems, in the tech industry.

Consumer Tech News (Aug 11-Aug 17): Research Says TikTok Favors Chinese Government, Apple Plans Thinner Version Of iPhone 17 & More

Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), a cutting-edge healthcare diagnostics company, has been on a tear. The stock established a new high of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TEM">$47.81 on Thursday</a>.
The stock is up 17.27% since its IPO in June. The company, which went public at $37 per share, and has been riding a wave of momentum ever since. 
Over the past five days, Tempus is up about 25% — a spike largely attributed to a strategic investment from SoftBank Group Corp (OTCPK: SFTBF) (OTCBF: SFTBY).
According to SoftBank's <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1065521/000106299324015034/xslForm13F_X02/primary_doc.xml">second-quarter 13F filing</a>, the investment giant added Tempus AI to its portfolio, acquiring approximately 5.41 million shares (worth approx. $189 million).
Google also backs Tempus AI.
This move, alongside SoftBank's increased stake in AI heavyweight Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), underscores the firm's bullish stance on the AI sector.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bullish Signals: Tempus On The Rise</h2>
From a technical perspective, Tempus AI's stock is showing strong bullish signals.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent081624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="627" height="456" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/16100004/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-7.29.52-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-499058" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/16100004/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-7.29.52-PM.png 627w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/16100004/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-7.29.52-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px" /></a></figure>

With its share price well above key moving averages—the eight-day SMA at $42.02 and the 20-day SMA at $41.51—the stock is positioned for continued upward momentum. 
The lack of data for the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, given the stock's recent market entry, doesn't detract from the overall positive sentiment.
Investors are clearly responding to Tempus AI's potential, especially with the backing of heavyweights like Google and SoftBank. 
As the company continues to innovate and expand its AI-driven healthcare solutions, its stock could remain a hot ticket on the Nasdaq, appealing to those looking to capitalize on the AI revolution. 
The big question now is whether Tempus AI can sustain this momentum and continue to break new ground in the fast-evolving tech landscape.

Tempus AI Soars To New Highs, Investments From Google And SoftBank Boost Bullish Sentiment

In a bid to challenge NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&#8217;s AI dominance, Asian startups are developing more energy-efficient and cost-effective chips for specific artificial intelligence applications.
What Happened: Asian startups are challenging Nvidia&#8217;s AI dominance by developing more energy-efficient and cost-effective chips for specific AI applications. These startups are targeting the gap in the market left by Nvidia&#8217;s high energy consumption and bulky design, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-Spotlight/Nvidia-vs.-the-startups-AI-chip-challengers-chase-efficiency">reported</a> Nikkei Asia on Friday.
These startups are focusing on two types of AI chips: &#8220;inference&#8221; chips, used to operate existing AI models, and &#8220;training&#8221; chips, high-powered data-processing components used to develop new AI models. 
While Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs continue to dominate the AI landscape, the startups believe that their GPUs&#8217; high energy consumption and bulky design leave a gap in the market that they can fill.
These startups believe that Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs, while powerful, are too energy-intensive and expensive for many applications. Preferred Networks (PFN) CEO Toru Nishikawa stated, &#8220;No one has come up with the perfect chip architecture for inference.&#8221; PFN is developing chips that aim to be more efficient and less costly than Nvidia&#8217;s offerings.
Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs are primarily used for training AI models, but their high cost and energy consumption make them impractical for devices like laptops and wearables. Analysts, including Kazuhiro Sugiyama from Omdia, believe that the demand for on-device AI will rise, encouraging new entrants to the market.
Startups such as Edgecortix, led by Sakyasingha Dasgupta, are focusing on solving issues like the &#8220;memory wall&#8221; problem to create more streamlined and energy-efficient AI chips. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to cater to the growing demand for AI in industrial applications and robotics, particularly in Asia, according to the report.
&#8220;Nvidia&#8217;s GPU is mainly suited for training, but we are seeing more newcomers developing chips which can target both training and inference,&#8221; Sugiyama said.

Nvidia AI Dominance Challenged By Asian Startups Betting On Energy-Efficient And Cost-Effective Silicon — 'Inference' And 'Training' Chips Emerge As Key Focus

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock is trading higher Thursday amid reports indicating a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel" rel="noreferrer noopener">fallout in discussions</a> between SoftBank Group Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) over an artificial intelligence (AI) chip production.
Reportedly, Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) parent SoftBank is turning to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40367565/whats-going-on-with-taiwan-semiconductor-stock-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">key Nvidia supplier</a>.
Intel failed to meet SoftBank&#8217;s demands for volume and speed, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/6b7fd8a1-7f9c-427b-8467-f911f5f0d520" rel="noreferrer noopener">cited</a> familiar sources.

Intel&#8217;s financial struggles, including an April reported $7 billion operating loss in its manufacturing business and subsequent layoffs, likely compounded the difficulties in securing a deal.
While SoftBank&#8217;s pivot to Taiwan Semiconductor could still face hurdles due to the latter&#8217;s high demand from existing customers, the Japanese group remains committed to advancing its AI chip ambitions.
The overall cost of the project could run into tens of billions of dollars, with SoftBank reportedly seeking additional partners like Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) to provide the necessary expertise and resources.

What's Going On With Nvidia Stock On Thursday?

In a recent development, SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) has hit a snag in its plans to produce an artificial intelligence (AI) chip that could rival Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). The Japanese conglomerate&#8217;s negotiations with Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) have reportedly collapsed due to Intel&#8217;s failure to meet SoftBank&#8217;s production demands.
What Happened: SoftBank had been banking on Intel&#8217;s manufacturing prowess, along with the chip designs of its subsidiary, Arm, and its latest acquisition, Graphcore, to develop a competitive AI chip. However, the talks fell through ahead of Intel&#8217;s announcement of sweeping cost-cutting measures and significant layoffs in early August, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6b7fd8a1-7f9c-427b-8467-f911f5f0d520">reported</a> on Thursday.
SoftBank&#8217;s CEO, Masayoshi Son, has been strategizing to invest heavily in the AI sector, with plans encompassing chip production, software development, and data centers to house its processors. Despite the failed Intel talks, SoftBank is now turning its attention to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), the world&#8217;s largest contract chipmaker, blaming Intel for the breakdown of the negotiations.
SoftBank has yet to respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s </a>queries while Intel declined to comment.

Why It Matters: SoftBank&#8217;s pivot from venture capital to semiconductors and AI investments has been a significant shift in its business strategy. The company has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/05/38764729/softbanks-billion-dollar-bet-switching-from-startups-to-semiconductors-ai">divesting billions of dollars </a>from its publicly listed holdings since the end of 2021.
SoftBank&#8217;s decision to sell its Nvidia shares in 2019, which could have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">worth over $150 billion</a>, has been seen as a missed opportunity. This has been followed by the company&#8217;s acquisition of U.K.-based chipmaker Graphcore, as part of its multibillion-dollar AI push.
Despite the setback with Intel, Son remains determined to position SoftBank at the forefront of the AI revolution, pitching his plans to major tech groups like Google and Meta to secure support and funding for his new venture.

Masayoshi Son's Plans To Rival Nvidia With SoftBank's Own AI Chip Production Hit A Roadblock As Intel Talks Reportedly Fall Through (UPDATED)

Amid the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40153013/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-sees-market-crashes-as-opportunity-to-get-richer-">global market downturn</a> and a significant drop in its stock, Japanese investment behemoth, SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>), has reaffirmed its commitment to artificial intelligence.
What Happened: On Wednesday, SoftBank CFO, Yoshimitsu Goto, expressed the company&#8217;s steadfast belief in the transformative potential of AI, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/SoftBank2/SoftBank-restates-faith-in-AI-amid-global-market-anxiety">reported</a> Nikkei Asia.
&#8220;We believe in AI, and believe it can change people&#8217;s lives,&#8221; Goto, said in a briefing following the announcement of Masayoshi Son-led <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40213337/masayoshi-sons-softbank-announces-3-4b-share-buyback-as-vision-fund-tech-arm-yields-investment-gains">SoftBank&#8217;s earnings for the April-June</a> quarter.
Despite the market&#8217;s &#8220;high volatility,&#8221; he assured that SoftBank&#8217;s financial status remains &#8220;robust and stable.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course, the market is tough,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;but our financial status is robust and stable. &#8230; There will be no change to our financial strategy for fiscal 2024.&#8221;

SoftBank&#8217;s first-quarter losses were significantly lower than the same period last year, thanks to a weak yen and increased earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/08/40198755/arm-holdingss-options-frenzy-what-you-need-to-know">from chip designer</a> ARM Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) a company in which SoftBank holds a significant stake. 
Regarding future investments, Goto acknowledged the need for caution due to market volatility. However, he also noted that the current lower stock prices present a good investment opportunity.
SoftBank also announced a share buyback of 500 billion yen ($3.4 billion) over the next year, motivated in part by the company&#8217;s record-low share price on Monday.
Why It Matters: Goto&#8217;s optimistic remarks follow SoftBank Group&#8217;s largest single-day stock price drop since its 1998 listing. This occurred on Monday as Japan&#8217;s benchmark Nikkei Stock Average experienced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40152271/mohamed-el-erian-grant-cardone-and-matt-weller-warn-of-deepening-global-market-selloff-as-yen-ri">worst daily sell-off in history</a>.
U.S. stocks took a downturn on Wednesday, with an initial rally fizzling out, though the decline wasn&#8217;t as drastic as the recent turbulent swings seen in global markets.
The S&amp;P 500 fell by 0.8% after an early surge of 1.7% lost momentum. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite decreased by 1%.
The market&#8217;s decline was influenced by Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a major player on Wall Street, which shifted from a 4.4% morning gain to a 5.1% loss, heavily weighing down the S&amp;P 500. 
At the time of writing, Nvidia stocks were down 1.31% at $97.65, during the after-hours session.

일본 기업 소프트뱅크(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)가 이전 보도를 확인하며 미국에 대한 1천억 달러의 투자와 10만 개 일자리 창출을 약속하며 월요일 발표했다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 소프트뱅크의 CEO인 마사요시 손은 월요일 마러라고에서 도널드 트럼프 당선자와 함께 이 발표를 하며, 미국 경제의 건강성에 대한 자신의 신뢰를 드러냈다. 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/12/42511472/trump-hits-7-year-high-in-favorability-ratings-how-republicans-democrats-men-and-women-view-president-elect">트럼프가 2024년 대선에서 승리한 이후</a>의 일이다.
&#8220;나는 미국 경제에 대한 신뢰 수준이 그의 승리로 인해 엄청나게 증가했다&#8221;고 손이 트럼프를 언급하며 말했다.
손은 미국에 1천억 달러와 10만 개의 일자리를 약속하게 되어 기쁘다고 밝혔다. 이는 앞으로의 미래에 대한 신뢰의 표시라고 언급했다.
&#8220;이번 투자 금액은 지난번의 두 배이다. 트럼프 대통령이 말한 것처럼, 나는 트럼프 대통령을 두 배의 승부수 대통령이라고 말한다. 나는 다시 두 배로 승부를 걸어야 한다.&#8221;
손은 비즈니스와 기술이 중요하다고 강조하며, 트럼프가 &#8220;세상을 다시 평화롭게 만들 수 있다&#8221;고 믿고 있다고 표현했다.
&#8220;그것이 나의 추가적인 희망이다.&#8221;
트럼프는 손을 신흥 기술 분야의 최고의 목소리이자 인물로 칭찬하며, 그를 &#8220;훌륭한 사람&#8221;이라고 불렀다.
&#8220;이 역사적인 투자는 미국의 미래에 대한 믿음의 기념비적인 증거이며, 인공지능(AI), 신흥 기술 및 미래 산업들이 바로 여기 미국에서 구축되고, 창조되고, 성장할 것임을 보장하는 데 도움이 될 것이다&#8221;라고 트럼프가 말했다.
트럼프는 사람들이 소프트뱅크가 2016년 대선 이후 500억 달러를 투자하겠다고 약속한 것을 지켰다고 상기시켰다.
손이 발언을 마친 후, 트럼프는 소프트뱅크 CEO에게 2천억 달러로 늘릴 수 있을지 물어보며, 더 큰 약속을 요구했다.
손은 자신의 약속이 1천억 달러라고 말했다.
&#8220;실현되도록 노력하겠다. 그는 훌륭한 협상가이다&#8221;고 손이 말했다.

왜 중요한가: 1천억 달러와 일자리 약속은 향후 4년 동안 이루어질 예정이며, 아시아 최대 투자 회사 중 하나와 미국 간의 관계가 강화되고 있음을 보여줄 수 있다.
소프트뱅크는 세계에서 가장 큰 기술 중심 투자 펀드 중 하나인 소프트뱅크 비전 펀드의 소유자이다. 이 회사는 Arm 홀딩스와 오픈AI의 주요 투자자이기도 하다.
&#8220;당신은 저의 지지를 받을 것이다. 당신은 우리 나라의 지지를 받을 것이다&#8221;라고 트럼프가 손에게 말했다.
이 발표는 미국과 일본 간의 관계를 강화할 수 있으며, 이는 당선자가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">중국산 수입품에 대한 관세 인상</a>을 위협한 상황에서 이루어졌다.
2024년 대선에서 승리한 이후, 미국과 다른 나라의 비즈니스 리더들이 트럼프의 지원을 얻고 미래 성장을 촉진하기 위해 몰려들고 있다.
제프 베이조스, 마크 저커버그와 샘 올트먼은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42485193/sam-altman-to-donate-1m-to-trumps-inauguration-fund-following-zuckerberg-bezos-eager-to-support">각각 100만 달러를 약속</a>했다. 트럼프의 취임 기금에 자신의 회사나 개인 재산을 통해 기부했다. 애플의 CEO인 팀 쿡도 최근에<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495714/tim-cook-dines-with-donald-trump-at-mar-a-lago-to-strengthen-apples-position-as-zuckerberg-and-pichai-repair-ties-and-jeff-bezos-prepares-for-his-turn-report">트럼프와 만났다.</a> 이는 기술 대기업의 지원을 나타내는 것으로 볼 수 있다.
세계에서 가장 부유한 사람인 일론 머스크는 트럼프의 지지자이며, 새로운 백악관 행정부에서 정부 효율부의 공동 리더로 역할을 할 예정이다. 머스크의 트럼프에 대한 영향력은 테슬라와 스페이스X에 유리한 새로운 정부 규제를 가져올 수 있으며, 그의 부를 증가시킬 수 있다.

주당 210달러로 책정된 이번 거래는 오픈AI의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 1,570억 달러 가치</a>에 부합하는 수준이다. 손정의 소프트뱅크 CEO는 오픈AI의 마지막 펀딩 라운드에서 5억 달러를 투자한 데 이어 이번 인수를 주도했다. 이는 손 회장의 공격적인 AI 전략의 또 다른 단계로, 소프트뱅크의 비전 펀드 2호도 글린(Glean)과 퍼플렉시티(Perplexity) 같은 스타트업을 지원하고 있다.
마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)와 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)를 비롯한 투자자로부터 130억 달러의 자금을 지원받은 오픈AI는 IPO 시장이 침체된 가운데 이러한 공개 매수의 중요성을 강조해 왔다.
이러한 이니셔티브는 직원 만족과 지속적인 자본 조달을 통해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41312615/investors-pour-billions-into-openai-whats-driving-this-unprecedented-surge-in-funding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">경쟁이 치열한 생성형 AI 시장</a>에서 성장을 지속하겠다는 오픈AI의 의지를 반영한다.

수요일(13일) 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO인 젠슨 황은 수요일(13일) 소프트뱅크 그룹의 손정의 회장의 엔비디아 인수 제안을 거절했었다고 밝혔다. 현재 엔비디아 시가총액은 3초 6천억 달러에 달한다.
무슨 일 있었나: 도쿄에서 열린 &#8216;엔비디아 AI 서밋&#8217;에서 젠슨 황은 10년 전에 손정의 회장이 당시 주식 시장이 엔비디아를 저평가하고 있다고 판단해 엔비디아의 완전한 인수를 위한 자금 지원을 제안했다고 솔직하게 터놓았다.
공개적인 대화에서 젠슨 황은 손정의 회장에게 "지금 생각해보면 그 제안을 받아들이지 않은 것을 후회하고 있다&#8221;며 &#8220;정말 훌륭한 아이디어였다&#8221;고 했다.
그리고 <a href="//www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39429393/regret-missing-out-on-nvidia-rally-youre-not-alone-as-softbanks-masayoshi-son-laments-157b-lost-"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이전에 소프트뱅크가 엔비디아 지분을 일찍 매각했던 점을 언급</a>하면서, 손정의 회장이 장난스럽게 젠슨 황의 어깨에 기대어 우는 시늉을 하자 대화는 한결 가벼워졌다. 황은 &#8220;같이 울자&#8221;며 &#8220;지금 손 회장님이 엔비디아 최대 주주라면 상상이 되나요?&#8221;라고 농담을 했다.
더 읽기: <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/global/asia/%EC%97%94%EB%B9%84%EB%94%94%EC%95%84%EC%99%80-%EC%86%8C%ED%94%84%ED%8A%B8%EB%B1%85%ED%81%AC-%EB%B8%94%EB%9E%99%EC%9B%B0-%ED%94%8C%EB%9E%AB%ED%8F%BC%EC%9C%BC%EB%A1%9C-%E6%97%A5-%EC%B5%9C%EA%B3%A0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">엔비디아와 소프트뱅크, 블랙웰 플랫폼으로 日 최고의 AI 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축할 예정</a>
왜 중요한가: 엔비디아의 놀라운 상승세는 인공지능(AI) 열풍에 의해 촉진되었으며, 엔비디아의 칩은 AI 기술을 강화하는 데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 블룸버그 억만장자 지수(Bloomberg Billionaires Index)에 따르면 엔비디아의 주가는 올해에만 200% 가까이 급등하면서 젠슨 황의 순자산은 1,280억 달러로 전 세계에서 11위 부자로 등극했다.
젠슨 황과 손정희 회장의 이번 토론은 일본에서 가장 강력한 AI 슈퍼컴퓨터를 개발하기 위한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">엔비디아와 소프트뱅크의 새로운 파트너십 발표</a>에 앞서 진행되었으며, 이는 일본의 AI 인프라 확장에 있어 중요한 진전으로 볼 수 있다.
손정의 소프트뱅크 회장은 블룸버그 억만장자 지수에서 159억 달러의 재산으로 133위에 올라 있으며, 올해 재산이 50억 달러 이상 증가했다. 만약 소프트뱅크가 이전의 엔비디아 투자 지분을 유지했다면 그의 재산 규모는 훨씬 더 컸을 것이다.

젠슨 황 엔비디아 CEO, "예전 소프트뱅크의 인수 제안 거절했던 것 후회"

소프트뱅크(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)가 최근 분기에 78억 달러의 이익을 보고하며 상당한 재정적 반전을 이끌어냈다. 이는 주로 성공적인 인도 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">IPO</a>와 개선된 기술 기업 가치에 기인한 것이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 일본의 대기업이 9월에 종료된 분기에서 78억 달러의 이익을 기록한 것은 작년 같은 기간에 60억 5천만 달러의 손실을 기록했던 것과 극명한 대조를 이룬다고 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a86569e7-8743-4474-a6a8-13a3f30085e3">파이낸셜 타임스</a>가 보도했다.
고위험, 기술 중심의 투자를 전문으로 하는 비전 펀드가 39억 5천만 달러의 이익을 기여함으로써 이러한 반전을 이끌어냈다. 이는 비전 펀드의 누적 투자 이익이 9분기 만에 처음으로 긍정적으로 전환된 것이다.
인도의 주요 IPO들, 특히 올라 일렉트릭(Ola Electric)와 퍼스트크라이(FirstCry)의 상장은 소프트뱅크의 기업 가치를 크게 향상시켰다. 이 회사의 CFO인 요시미츠 고토(Yoshimitsu Goto)는 이러한 IPO들이 17억 달러의 기업 가치 상승을 가져온 긍정적인 영향을 강조했다.
소프트뱅크의 재정 개선에 기여한 다른 요소들로는 한국의 쿠팡(Coupang)와 중국의 디디(DiDi)에서의 기업 가치 상승, 그리고 엔화 약세가 순이익에 미친 긍정적인 영향이 있다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 소프트뱅크의 인공지능(<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">AI)에 대한 관심</a>는 반복되는 주제이며, CEO인 마사요시 손(Masayoshi Son)은 10년 이내에 인공지능 초지능이 도래할 것이라고 예측했다.
최근 소프트뱅크는 엔비디아와 경쟁할 자사 AI 칩 생산 계획으로 뉴스에 올랐다. 그러나 이러한 계획은 인텔과의 협상이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">보도에 따르면 무산</a>되면서 장애물에 부딪혔다. 이번 재정적 성공은 소프트뱅크가 AI 야망을 더 추구할 수 있는 자원을 제공할 수 있게 해줄 것이다.
8월, 소프트뱅크는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40213337/masayoshi-sons-softbank-announces-3-4b-share-buyback-as-vision-fund-tech-arm-yields-investment-gains">34억 달러의 자사주 매입 프로그램</a>을 발표하며 주주들의 우려로 인한 압박에 대응했다.

소프트뱅크, 인도 IPO로 다시 수익 창출: 마사요시 손의 다음 계획은?

엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)와 소프트뱅크(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)가 화요일에 일본의 가장 강력한 인공지능(AI) 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축하기 위한 파트너십을 발표하였다. 이는 일본이 글로벌 AI 강국으로 도약하기 위한 중요한 단계이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 이 협력은 일본에서 개최된 엔비디아 AI 서밋에서 발표되었으며, 소프트뱅크가 엔비디아의 고급 블랙웰(Blackwell) 플랫폼을 구현하고 향후 슈퍼컴퓨팅 이니셔티브를 위해 엔비디아 그레이스 블랙웰(NVIDIA Grace Blackwell) 플랫폼을 활용할 계획이다.
&#8220;일본은 글로벌 영향력을 가진 기술 혁신의 선구자적인 역사를 가지고 있다&#8221;고 젠슨 황 엔비디아 창립자 겸 CEO가 말했다. &#8220;소프트뱅크의 엔비디아의 풀 스택 AI, 옴니버스(Omniverse) 및 5G AI-RAN 플랫폼에 대한 막대한 투자와 함께, 일본은 AI 산업 혁명으로 도약하고 있다.&#8221;
소프트뱅크는 엔비디아의 AI 에어리얼(Aerial) 플랫폼을 사용하여 세계 최초의 결합 AI 및 5G 통신 네트워크를 성공적으로 시범 운영했다. 이 혁신은 기지국을 비용 센서에서 AI 매출 창출 자산으로 전환하여 글로벌 통신 사업자들에게 수십억 달러의 새로운 매출을 창출할 수 있다.
&#8220;전 세계 국가와 지역들이 사회적, 경제적 성장을 위한 AI 채택을 가속화하고 있다&#8221;고 미야카와 준이치 소프트뱅크 사장 겸 CEO가 말했다. &#8220;엔비디아와의 오랜 협력을 통해 소프트뱅크는 이 변화를 선도하고 있다.&#8221;
이 파트너십에는 몇 가지 주요 이니셔티브가 포함된다:
<ul>
<li>소프트뱅크는 새로운 DGX SuperPOD 슈퍼컴퓨터를 위한 세계 최초의 NVIDIA DGX B200 시스템을 받게 된다.</li>
<li>엔비디아 AI 엔터프라이즈 소프트웨어를 이용한 AI 마켓플레이스 개발</li>
<li>엔비디아의 AI-RAN 솔루션 구현, 소프트뱅크는 이를 통해 전통적인 5G 인프라에 비해 전력 소비를 40% 줄일 수 있을 것으로 추정하고 있다.</li>
</ul>
중요한 이유 (Why It Matters): 이 협력은 두 회사 모두에게 전략적 전환을 나타내며, 소프트뱅크는 인프라에 추가되는 각 AI-RAN 서버에 대해 최대 219%의 잠재적 수익을 추정하고 있다. 소프트뱅크는 2026년부터 &#8220;AITRAS&#8221;라는 이름의 AI-RAN 솔루션을 글로벌 배포할 계획이다.
이 파트너십은 일본어 AI 모델 개발을 위한 9억 6천만 달러 투자 약속과 영국 기반 칩 제조업체인 그래프코어(Graphcore) 인수를 포함하여 AI 부문에서 소프트뱅크의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">최근 움직임</a>에 따른 것이다.
이 이니셔티브는 일본이 글로벌 AI 경쟁에서의 입지를 강화하고 통신, 운송, 로봇 공학 및 의료 산업에 대한 새로운 기회를 제공할 것으로 예상된다.

엔비디아와 소프트뱅크, 블랙웰 플랫폼으로 日 최고의 AI 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축할 예정

일본 주식 시장은 전날 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40152271/mohamed-el-erian-grant-cardone-and-matt-weller-warn-of-deepening-global-market-selloff-as-yen-ri" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">역사적인 급락</a> 이후 화요일에 크게 회복되었으며, 다른 아시아 태평양 시장도 회복 조짐을 보였다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 닛케이 225와 일본의 광범위한 기반 토픽스(Topix)는 거의 10%의 상승세를 보였다. 이번 회복은 1987년 블랙먼데이 폭락 이후 가장 큰 손실을 보았던 월요일 거래 이후에 나온 것이다.
이 기사 작성 시점에 닛케이 지수는 8.74% 상승한 34,206.99에 거래되었으며, 토픽스 지수는 8.81% 상승하여 2,423.29에 거래되었다.
월요일 조사에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 일본의 서비스 부문 활동은 강한 내수 수요로 인해 7월에 반등했다. au Jibun Bank의 최종 서비스 구매관리자지수(PMI)는 6월 49.4에서 지난달 53.7로 상승해 21개월 만에 처음으로 위축됐다. 일본의 6월 실업률은 전월보다 2.5% 감소했다.
또한 화요일 발표된 노동부 자료에 따르면 실질임금은 6월에 1.1% 증가해 5월의 1.3% 감소 수정 이후 27개월 만에 처음으로 증가했다고 로이터통신이 보도했다.
엔화 가치도 미국 달러 대비 1% 넘게 약세를 보였다. 이러한 반등은 다양한 부문에서 나타났으며, 일본의 대형 상사들은 8% 이상의 상승을 기록했다. 마루베니(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>)는 14% 이상 급등한 반면 소프트뱅크 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)은 11% 이상 상승했다.
브렌트유 선물은 배럴당 1.65% 오른 77.56달러, 미국 서부텍사스산 중질유(WTI) 선물은 1.86% 오른 74.30달러로 유가도 상승했다.
S&amp;P 500 선물은 1.40% 오른 5,288.50포인트에, 나스닥 100 선물은 1.88% 오른 18,351.50포인트에 거래됐다. 한편, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면 다우존스 선물은 월요일에 0.87% 상승한 39,187포인트를 기록했다.

일본의 강력한 서비스 부문과 고용 데이터에 토쿄 주식 및 美 지수 선물 전날의 급락 후 회복

한 주가 끝나가면서 인공지능(AI)의 세계는 몇 가지 중요한 발전을 보였다. 놀라운 투자부터 전략적 인수, AI 혁신, 주가 하락까지 글로벌 AI 환경은 활발하게 움직다. 지난주 동안 AI 세계를 형성한 주요 뉴스를 살펴보겠다.

주간 주요 인공지능 뉴스: MS의 15억 달러 투자에 우려, 알리바바의 AI 성과 등

마사요시 손(Masayoshi Son)가 이끄는 소프트뱅크 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)은 에너지 관련 프로젝트에 대한 대출을 확보하기 위해 은행들과 협의 중인 것으로 알려졌다. 해당 프로젝트의 가치는 최대 100억 달러에 달하는 것으로 추산된다.
어떤 일이 (What Happened): 이 문제에 대해 직접적으로 알고 있는 한 사람은 이 그룹이 은행 대출과 다른 투자자들 참여를 통해 필요한 자본을 조달할 수 있다고 말했다고 더 버지(The Verge)가 목요일 더 인포메이션(The Information)을 통해 <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/4/24192305/softbank-is-trying-to-borrow-10-billion-for-ai-related-projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
소프트뱅크는 벤징가가 보낸 질문에 아직 답변하지 않았다.
왜 이것이 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 기술, 특히 생성 인공지능 분야의 급속한 발전으로 인해 에너지 수요와 데이터 센터 투자가 급증했다. 지난달 소프트뱅크 창업자인 손은 글로벌 생성 AI 프로젝트에 맞춰 그룹이 주로 미국에서 발전 사업을 확장할 것이라고 발표했다.
이러한 움직임은 제프 베이조스가 지원하는 AI 스타트업 퍼플렉시티 AI(Perplexity AI)에 대한 보고된 상당한 투자를 포함하여 소프트뱅크의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39517522/after-missing-nvidia-rally-masayoshi-son-is-giving-ai-investment-another-try-softbank-is-reportedly" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">최근 AI 투자</a>와 일치한다.
또한 소프트뱅크는 빌린 자금을 사용하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39549728/masayoshi-sons-softbank-to-raise-1-86b-through-bond-issuance-for-ai-investment-and-debt-repayment" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">엔비디아에서 칩을 구매</a>하기 위해 특수 목적 회사를 설립하는 것을 고려했다. 같은 소식통에 따르면 이 회사는 칩을 소프트뱅크에 다시 임대할 것이라고 한다. 이 전략은 소프트뱅크가 AI 투자와 부채 상환을 위한 채권 발행을 통해 18억 6,000만 달러를 조달하겠다고 발표한 데 이어 나온 것이다.
주가 움직임: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, 수요일에 소프트뱅크의 주식은 장외 거래(OTC)에서 33.35달러에 마감했다.

소프트뱅크가 은행들과 100억 달러 규모의 에너지 프로젝트 자금 조달을 협상 중

유럽에서 가장 가치 있는 스타트업으로서의 위상을 공고히 할 수 있는 움직임으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/revolut" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">영국에 본사를 둔 핀테크 전공</a>인 레볼루트(Revolut)는 직원 주식 매각에서 400억 달러 이상의 가치 평가를 목표로 하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다.
어떤 일이 (What Happened): 일본의 소프트뱅크 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)의 지원을 받는 레볼루트는 모건 스탠리와 협력하여 직원이 소유한 주식을 포함하여 약 5억 달러 상당의 기존 주식을 매각하고 있다고 파이낸셜 타임스(Financial Times)가 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2e5c1b4e-4e6f-11e5-b029-b9d50a74fd14">보도</a>했으며 이 계획에 대해 알고 있는 세 사람의 말을 인용했다.
이 제안된 가치 평가는 2021년 자금 조달 라운드에서 레볼루트가 330억 달러 가치 평가보다 21% 증가한 것이다. 이는 또한 레볼루트의 시가총액을 로이즈 뱅킹 그룹(Lloyds Banking Group Plc)와 동등하게 만들 것이다. 내셔널웨스트민스터은행(Natwest·냇웨스트) 및 소시에테 제네랄(Société Générale SA)보다 높다.
지난 2년 동안 유럽 핀테크 기업의 어려운 시장에도 불구하고 레볼루트의 야심찬 목표가 달성된다면 놀라운 성과가 될 것이다. 클라나(Klarna)와 같은 다른 유명 핀테크 기업들의 가치가 급락하면서 해당 부문의 안정성에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다.
레볼루트의 영국 은행 라이센스 신청은 이 회사가 주요 시장에서 대출과 이익을 확대하는 데 매우 중요하며 3년 넘게 계류 중이다. 이는 다른 문제와 결합되어 이 회사의 미래에 대한 불확실성을 초래했다.
레볼루트는 <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>의 코멘트 요청에 즉각 답변하지 않았다.
이게 중요한 이유 (Why It Matters): 레볼루트가 제안한 가치 평가는 일련의 전략적 움직임 중에 나온 것이다. 이달 초 회사는 GTN과 제휴하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/06/39385145/gtn-revolut-partner-to-launch-bond-trading-for-customers-in-europe" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">유럽 고객들을 위한 채권 거래를 시작</a>했다. 이러한 움직임은 올인원 투자 플랫폼을 구축하려는 레볼루트의 사명에서 중요한 단계로 간주되었다.
그러나 레볼루트의 여정은 어려움 없이 이루어진 것이 아니다. 2023년 5월, 아 회사의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/05/32481013/revoluts-application-for-a-uk-banking-license-may-be-rejected" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">영국 은행 라이센스 신청</a>은 감사인 BDO가 2021년 매출 수치에 의문을 제기한 후 조사를 받았다. 이로 인해 회사의 재무 보고의 정확성에 대한 우려가 제기되었습니다.
이러한 어려움에도 불구하고 레볼루트는 계속해서 제품을 확장해 왔다. 2023년 2월, 아 회사는 영국과 유럽 경제 지역에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/02/30742558/revolut-launches-crypto-staking-soft-launch-begins-in-uk-and-eea-report">암호화폐 스테이킹</a>을 시작하여 사용자들이 암호화폐 자산에서 수익을 얻을 수 있도록 했다.

소프트뱅크가 지원하는 핀테크 레볼루트, 직원 주식 매각에서 $400억 이상 가치 목표

소프트뱅크그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)의 창립자 손 마사요시는 벤처 캐피털에서 반도체 및 인공지능(AI) 투자로 방향을 바꾸고 있다.
2021년 말부터 이 회사의 주력 비전 펀드(Vision Fund)는 공개 상장 보유 자산에서 수십억 달러를 매각하거나 평가액을 낮췄다. 미국 상장 포트폴리오를 거의 290억 달러 줄인 것으로 알려졌다.
2021년 말 이후 회사의 주력 기금인 비전펀드는 상장 자산을 수천억 달러를 처분하거나 평가액을 낮췄다. 그 결과 자사의 미국 상장 포트폴리오가 290억 달러 가량 감소한 것으로 알려졌다.
한때 기술 분야의 주요 세력이었던 이 펀드도 직원을 줄이고 투자 속도를 줄였다고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-10/softbank-sells-off-vision-fund-assets-as-son-pivots-to-ai-chips?srnd=technology-vp&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">블룸버그는 전했다</a>.

손 마사요시의 이 펀드 포트폴리오 자산 청산은 Arm 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/09/34593085/is-arm-a-buy-after-record-ipo-ceo-insights-ongoing-lawsuit-and-financials">성공적인 기업공개</a>에 이어 이루어졌다.
이후 Arm의 시장 가치는 약 1,060억 달러로 급등했다. 이는 소프트뱅크가 보유한 90% 지분의 가치를 매우 높게 만든다.
분석가들은 최근 분기별 보고서를 발표한 후 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38741725/arm-holdings-poised-to-challenge-qualcomm-intel-amd-in-ai-analysts-predict-growth-in-chip-design" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">영국의 칩 설계 회사</a> Arm을 퀄컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), 어드밴스드 마이크로 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)를 주요 AI 수혜자로 꼽았습니다.
한편 손은 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)와 같은 회사들과 경쟁하고 AI 기술 개발을 지원하기 위해 1,000억 달러 규모의 칩 벤처 설립을 고려하고 있다.
소프트뱅크는 이제 주요 반도체 기업에 직접 투자하고 때로는 지배 지분을 보유하고 있다. 현재 영국 반도체 스타트업 그래프코어(Graphcore Ltd) 인수를 논의 중이며 최근 영국 기반 자율주행 스타트업 웨이브 테크놀로지스(Wayve Technologies Ltd.)에 10억 5천만 달러 규모의 자금 조달 라운드를 주도했다.

소프트뱅크의 10억 달러 배팅: 스타트업에서 반도체, 인공지능으로 전환

일본의 기술 거대 기업인 소프트뱅크 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)은 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)의 칩을 활용하여 고급 인공지능(AI) 모델을 개발하기 위해 상당한 금액을 투자할 계획을 발표했다.
What Happened: 소프트뱅크는 닛케이(Nikkei)가 월요일에 <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/SoftBank-to-spend-960m-to-boost-computing-power-for-generative-AI2">보도한</a> 바에 따르면, 다음 2년간 총 9억 6,000만 달러(약 1조원)의 거금을 투자해 일본어에 특화된 첨단 생성형 AI 모델을 만들고 컴퓨팅 시설을 강화할 예정이다.
이러한 대형 언어 모델은(LLM) 고급 그래픽 처리 장치가 필요한데, 소프트뱅크는 이러한 그래픽 처리 장치를 엔비디아로부터 구매할 계획이다. 이 보도는 익명의 소스를 인용해 밝혔다.
이번 투자안은 2024년부터 2025년까지 총 1,500억엔(9억 6,000만 달러)의 예산을 투자하게 된다. 이 금액은 소프트뱅크가 지난해 컴퓨팅 인프라에 지출한 200억 엔에 추가되는 금액이다.
투자가 완료된 이후, 소프트뱅크는 일본에서 가장 강력한 컴퓨팅 능력을 가지게 될 것으로 예상되며, 이는 일본기업 중에서는 유일무이한 투자일 것으로 보인다.

일본은 LLM을 구축하는 데 필요한 고성능의 슈퍼컴퓨터를 보유한 민간 기업이 부족한 상황이다. 이러한 기술에 대한 관심이 높아짐에도 불구하고, 소프트뱅크의 보도된 투자안은 이러한 공백을 채워줄 가능성이 있으며, 이를 통해 일본은 생성형 인공 지능 분야에서 강력한 국내 플레이어를 얻게 될 것이다.
Why It Matters: 소프트뱅크의 이번 움직임은 최근 AI와 칩 개발에 대한 초점을 맞춘 것으로 나타났다. 지난 2월 초 소프트뱅크 창업자인 손정의(손 마사요시)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37191809/race-for-ai-chipmaking-after-sam-altman-softbanks-masayoshi-son-seeks-100b-to-bankroll-chip-venture">AI 시장</a>을 겨냥한 새로운 칩 벤처를 위해 1,000억 달러를 조달할 계획을 발표해 잠재적으로 엔비디아에 도전이 될 수 있다.
소프트뱅크의 주가는 이 회사가 AI에 초점을 맞추면서 현재까지 약 20% 상승했다. 이 회사는 또한 AI 붐 속에서 매출 기대치가 높아진 칩 회사 Arm의 대주주이기도 하다.
스태티스타 마켓 인사이트(Statista Market Insights)의 <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/artificial-intelligence/generative-ai/japan#market-size">데이터</a>에 따르면 일본의 AI 시장은 2030년까지 약 130억 달러로 성장할 것으로 예상되며 이는 2023년보다 약 17배 더 커질 것이다.

엔비디아 칩을 활용하여 소프트뱅크는 약 10억 달러 상당을 AI에 투자: 보도

by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/author/luke">LUKE JACOBI</a>



페니 주식은 대부분의 상장 기업 주식에 비해 매우 저렴한 비용을 가진 기업 주식으로 구성됩니다. 이들 주식 중 많은 주식이 장외 (OTC) 시장에서 거래되는데, 이는 중앙 집중형 주식 거래소가 아닌 중개업자와 딜러 네트워크를 통해 거래된다는 것을 의미합니다. 이러한 점을 감안할 때, 기술적으로 페니 주식으로 분류되는 몇 가지 주식이 뉴욕 증권 거래소 (NYSE)와 같은 주요 거래소에 상장되어 있을 수 있습니다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-is-considered-a-penny-stock">페니 주식은 무엇으로 간주됩니까?</h2>



현재 페니 주식의 올바른 정의는 5달러 미만으로 가격이 책정된 주식입니다. 일부 주식은 발행 기업의 사업이 하락하거나 파산에 접근할 때 시장 가치를 잃을 수 있습니다. 때로는 이러한 주식이 충분한 가치를 잃어 결국 페니 주식이 될 수 있습니다. 이것이 일부 <a href="https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20081129062635/http://archive.gao.gov/d36t11/148481.pdf">페니 주식</a>이 주요 거래소에서 거래되는 이유입니다.



<a href="https://www.marathonoil.com/">마라톤 오일</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRO#NYSE">MRO</a>)은 페니 주식이 되는 좋은 예입니다. 2019년 12월에는 주당 13달러 이상으로 거래되었지만, 이후 주가는 2020년 3월에 3.02달러로 최저점을 찍었습니다. 마라톤 오일은 결국 화려한 회복을 이루어 2022년 11월에는 잠시 33달러/주에 달했습니다. 마라톤 오일은 수많은 페니 주식 중 하나의 예일 뿐이지만, 대부분은 투자자의 관심을 유발할 충분한 트랙 레코드가 없는 소규모나 신생 기업에 의해 발행됩니다. 이러한 주식은 회사의 제품이나 서비스에 따라 상당한 상승 잠재력을 가질 수 있습니다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-penny-stocks-to-buy">어떤 페니 주식을 사야 할까요?</h2>



투자자들은 많은 페니 주식 중에서 선택할 수 있습니다. 그러나 이 중 일부 주식이 다른 것보다 우수합니다. 페니 주식은 위험성이 높으며, 짧은 기간 내에 상당한 가치를 얻거나 잃을 수 있습니다. 투자자는 각 회사의 재무상태와 산업을 살펴봐야 합니다. 일부 기업은 고성장 산업에서 운영됩니다. 물결이 모든 배를 띄우고 유망한 산업의 페니 주식이 시간이 지남에 따라 가치를 높이도록 도울 수 있습니다.



기술적 분석은 투자자가 단기적 기회를 찾는 데 도움이 될 수 있지만, 기본 요소를 살펴보면 매력적인 장기 투자 기회를 발견할 수 있습니다. 투자자는 헤지 펀드의 거래 활동을 살펴볼 수도 있고, 전문가들이 어떤 페니 주식을 축적하고 있는지 확인할 수도 있습니다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="list-of-best-and-worst-penny-stocks-right-now">현재 최고 및 최악의 페니 주식 목록</h2>



일반적으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-penny-stock-trading-apps" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">최고의 페니 주식</a>은 견고한 재무 상태를 가지고 있으며 이미 이익을 보여주는지 또는 근시일 내에 이익을 보일 가능성이 있습니다. 또한 많은 유명한 외국 기업들이 미국의 대형 주요 증권 거래소에서 부과하는 높은 상장 수수료를 피하기 위해 OTC Bulletin Board에 주식을 상장합니다.



미국 장외 시장에서 거래되는 외국 기업의 주식에는 일본의 홀딩스 콩글로메이트인 소프트뱅크(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)가 시가총액이 600억 달러를 넘고 네슬레 SA(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSRGY#OTC">NSRGY</a>)가 시가총액이 대략 3,000억 달러인 기업이 포함됩니다.



최악의 페니 주식은 일반적으로 자신들의 재무 상황을 주주에게 공개하지 않으며, 이익이나 기타 회사의 재정 측면을 보고할 의무가 없습니다. 이러한 주식은 핑크 시장에서 거래되며 종종 위험한 투자가 될 수 있습니다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pink-market-stocks">핑크 시장 주식</h2>



핑크 시장은 과거에는 주식 가격이 분홍색 종이에 인쇄되어 있어 &#8220;분홍 시트(pink sheets)&#8221;로 불리었습니다. 이 시장은 <a href="https://www.otcmarkets.com/">OTC Markets Group</a>이 운영하며 OTCQX 및 OTCQB 시장과 함께 운영되며 전통적인 거래소에 상장되지 않은 모든 것을 보여주는 OTC 게시판입니다.



OTCQX 및 OTCQB 시장에 상장된 기업들은 <a href="https://www.sec.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">미국 증권 거래 위원회 (SEC)</a> 에 주요 재무 정보를 제공하고 공시를 유지할 의무가 있지만, 편큰 시장에 주식을 상장한 기업들은 SEC에 제출하거나 투자자에게 자신들의 재무 정보를 공개할 의무가 없습니다.



이러한 주식들의 거래량을 볼 수 없으며 (또는 현재/정확한 걸 알 수 없습니다). 이 회사와 관련된 개인의 보고서를 볼 수 없을 수도 있으며, 현재 시장 가치를 볼 수 없을 수도 있습니다. 왜냐하면 이러한 주식들은 SEC에 보고하지 않으며 상장 기준이 적용되지 않기 때문입니다.



또한, 전통적인 거래소에 상장될 때까지 OTC에서 거래되는 SPAC(특수 목적 인수 회사)와 같은 합병을 위한 쉘 회사를 만날 수도 있습니다. 이는 독특한 자본 시장에 더 쉽고 저렴하게 접근할 수 있도록 해줍니다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-to-quickly-identify-a-penny-stock">페니 주식을 빠르게 식별하는 방법</h2>



페니 주식의 일반적인 기준은 주당 가격이 5달러 미만인 매우 소형 기업의 주식입니다. 이는 페니 주식을 식별하는 것을 꽤 쉽게 만듭니다. 하지만 위에서 언급한 것처럼 일부 예외가 있습니다. 기억해야 할 점은 증권 거래 위원회가 페니 주식을 라벨링하지 않는다는 것이며, 단지 보고가 필요하다는 점입니다.



페니 주식을 다른 카테고리로 분류하면 연구를 할 때 선택지를 좁힐 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 주당 3달러 미만의 주식, 주요 거래소에 상장된 페니 주식 또는 핑크 시장에서 거래되는 페니 주식을 찾을 수 있습니다.
