SoftBank Group Corp said on Wednesday its third-quarter operating
profit fell 99%, well short of analyst estimates, pulled down by losses at the $100 billion
Vision Fund.
Profit reached 2.6 billion yen ($24 million) for October-December versus 438 billion yen in the same period a year prior, the technology investor said in a stock exchange filing.
The result compared with the 345 billion yen average of three analyst estimates compiled by Refinitiv.
