Japanese investment conglomerate deploying its Vision Funds across global tech and AI, with robotics central to Masayoshi Son's
Munich-based humanoid robot maker Agile Robots raised $500M led by SoftBank Group, with Nvidia, Hitachi and T.Capital participating, lifting its valuation to $8.5B and cumulative funding to roughly $2B. The capital will scale manufacturing and US expansion, with the company targeting about 2,000 humanoid units in 2026 and already testing systems at customers including Audi.
SoftBank Group posted 4.24 trillion yen in revenue for the first half of FY2027, up 13.3% year over year, but swung to a 768.007 billion yen net loss attributable to shareholders. The loss stems mainly from fund asset impairments and default losses on a US AI data center project, with free cash flow deteriorating to -5.9 trillion yen.
