  "account": "SoftBank Group Corp. disclosed a significant second-quarter fiscal 2026 net loss of JPY 768 billion, primarily driven by massive write-downs from AI infrastructure and derivatives, despite gains in its investment portfolio. Shares of the company surged 13.88%, reaching $3,872, following the earnings call. The company raised JPY 9 trillion in financing, the highest amount in its history, with a loan-to-value ratio of 15.9% at quarter-end. SoftBank's CFO, Yoshimitsu Goto, indicated a shift towards a more balanced investment approach amidst market volatility, while emphasizing the company's commitment to AI investments and its long-term growth prospects through projects like PORTS-Pike in Ohio, a 8 GW AI data center with OpenAI as off-taker.",
