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.

More recently, SoftBank has been in the news for its plans to rival Nvidia with its own AI chip production.

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.

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.

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.

SoftBank, Walmart-Backed Robotics Giant Sees $9B Wipeout In Founder's Wealth After Company Stock That Surged Nearly 325% Last Year Takes A Steep Decline

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. The company is also set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40076860/alibaba-to-boost-b2b-e-commerce-with-new-ai-sourcing-engine-launch-in-september">launch an AI-powered conversational sourcing engine</a> in September to enhance the buying and selling of goods online.
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.

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.

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.

Big tech companies like Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google, Meta Platforms Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Why It Matters: The competition between Nvidia and emerging Asian startups is heating up as the AI chip market continues to expand. Recently, Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, highlighted Nvidia as a major player in the AI sector, noting that large tech companies are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40409247/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-highlights-nvidia-as-major-ai-player-in-now-deleted-video-thats-not-a">planning significant investments</a> in Nvidia-based AI data centers, potentially costing up to $300 billion. 
Meanwhile, SoftBank has faced setbacks in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40400105/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-stock-on-thursday">its efforts to rival</a> Nvidia with its own AI chip production. Negotiations with Intel reportedly fell through due to Intel&#8217;s inability to meet production demands, leading SoftBank to turn to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), a key Nvidia supplier.

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.
Nvidia&#8217;s stock has seen a volatile ride. Its selloff makes its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40366085/nvidias-rebound-rally-adds-billions-to-market-value-analysts-eye-ai-growth-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">valuation more attractive</a> as the AI frenzy is in no mood to slow down. Nvidia trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 45.05x after losing over 5% in the last 30 days.
Nvidia stock is up over 176% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
Price Action: NVDA shares were trading higher by 3.45% to $122.16 at the last check Thursday.

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.

Masayoshi Son-Led SoftBank Firm On AI Investment Amid Market Turmoil: 'There Will Be No Change To Our Financial Strategy For Fiscal 2024'

Masayoshi Son-led SoftBank announced a share buyback initiative amid its first-quarter earnings report. The company plans to repurchase up to 6.8% of its shares, amounting to 500 billion yen ($3.4 billion).
What Happened: The share buyback announcement follows pressure from shareholders, concerned about the company&#8217;s market capitalization being significantly lower than the value of its assets. Investment firm Elliott Management has been pushing for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39177823/elliott-management-rebuilds-significant-stake-in-masayoshi-sons-softbank-pushes-for-15b-share-bu">share repurchase program</a>.
In its fiscal first quarter report ending in June, SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) announced a 1.9 billion yen ($12.9 million) investment gain in its Vision Fund tech investment arm.
However, the Vision Fund also reported a 204.3 billion yen ($1.39 billion) loss in the same quarter. This is a stark contrast to its profit in the same quarter last year and includes administrative expenses and gains and losses attributable to third-party investors, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/07/softbank-earnings-report-q1-fy-2024.html">reported</a> on Wednesday.

Despite the Vision Fund&#8217;s losses, SoftBank&#8217;s net sales rose 9.3% year-on-year to 1.7 trillion yen ($11.5 billion). The company&#8217;s net profit was 10.5 billion yen ($71.5 million) following a 316.2 billion yen ($2.15 billion) loss in the year-ago quarter.
Why It Matters: SoftBank&#8217;s earnings report comes amid market volatility. The company&#8217;s shares recently dropped nearly 19% in a single day due to a broader fall in Japanese stocks. Despite this, SoftBank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/05/38764729/softbanks-billion-dollar-bet-switching-from-startups-to-semiconductors-ai">continues to position itself </a>as a key player in the artificial intelligence boom, with significant investments in companies like Arm and Wayve. 
As of August 6, 2024, SoftBank&#8217;s shares are trading at $24.7, down 0.04% from the previous close. The company&#8217;s 52-week high and low are $37.19 and $18.78, respectively.

Buybacks

Masayoshi Son's SoftBank Announces $3.4B Share Buyback As Vision Fund Tech Arm Yields Investment Gains

The Japanese stock market significantly recovered on Tuesday <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">following a historic plunge</a>, with other Asia-Pacific markets also showing signs of improvement.
What Happened: The Nikkei 225 and the broad-based Topix in Japan experienced a gain of nearly 10%. This recovery comes after the previous session, which saw the largest loss since the 1987 Black Monday crash.

Japan Markets, US Futures Recover After Historic Plunge, Supported Amid Strong Service Sector And Employment Data From Tokyo

The stock market is on track to gap-open sharply lower on Monday as negative sentiment seen in the final two sessions of last week has carried over into the new week. The index futures were all sharply lower, with the Nasdaq 100 down over 4% and volatility has spiked, with the CBOE Volatility Index, aka VIX, up over 100%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40152994/as-global-markets-roil-strategist-soothes-nerves-some-normal-action-under-the-surface-as-tech-got-wa">Asset classes plunged across the board</a> amid worries over a hard landing in the U.S., which in turn may have a cyclical effect on the rest of the global economies as well.
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (BRK-A) (BRK-B) disclosed that it trimmed its equity portfolio considerably, and instead chose to accumulate cash. This could potentially trigger fears among traders regarding the near-term outlook for the market. His firm sold nearly half of the Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares it held in its portfolio. A duo of service sector activity readings may also be in the spotlight.

Cues From Last Session:
Earnings and economic catalysts were the dynamics in play in the market in the week ended Aug. 2, with all three major averages plunging sharply for the week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite turned in the worst performance, with the mega-cap sell-off weighing on the index.
After showing apprehensions early in the week, stocks rose sharply on Wednesday, encouraged by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) positive earnings and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s insinuation of a rate cut in September through the tweaks in the post-meeting policy statement.
Selling set in on Thursday amid the release of weak manufacturing data and the jobless claims report that showed a spike in the number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits. The selling intensified on Friday amid disappointing tech earnings and worries about the health of the economy.
The Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 settled at their lowest in about two months, while the Dow slid to a one-month low. Small-caps, which were staging a nice recovery amid expectations of a Fed rate cut, pulled back sharply amid the deterioration in investor sentiment.

Insights From Analysts:
Weighing in on the premarket slump, CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer said investors may have been driven to the wall as they see the prospect of the Tokyo collapse of the 1980s recurring and were reacting to the fear. He also questioned whether SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) was controlling the sentiment toward the Nasdaq stocks with its desperate selling. Softbank&#8217;s Tokyo-listed shares fell over 18%. 
&#8220;Global reset led from Japan,&#8221; he said.
Cramer also recommended investors exercise restraint. &#8220;I do not want to call it over-exaggerated, but it would be more thoughtful if the decline were based on more basics and less emotion,&#8221; he said.
Wedbush&#8217;s Daniel Ives said in a post on X that Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 average&#8217;s historical sell-off as &#8220;Yen carry trade unwinds in brutal fashion and global economic/geopolitical jitters will cause a nasty day for US markets and tech stocks.&#8221; 
&#8220;We keep same tech playbook we used during March 2020 Covid sell-offs and other macro panic events last few years,&#8221; he added.
Upcoming Economic Data:
The unfolding week&#8217;s economic calendar is fairly light and noteworthy among them are two separate service sector activity readings and the weekly jobless claims data.
<ul>
<li>On Monday S&amp;P Global is due to release its final service sector purchasing managers&#8217; index for July at 9:45 a.m. EDT, with economists expecting a reading of 55 for the month.</li>
<li>The Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s non-manufacturing report due at 10 a.m. EDT, is expected to improve from 48.8 in June to 51.4 in July.</li>
<li>The Treasury will auction three- and six-month notes at 11:30 a.m. EDT.</li>

Global equity markets sold off, with Japan setting in motion the selling wave, as the yen strengthened following the Bank of Japan&#8217;s recent tightening. This triggered the unwinding of yen carry traders, which in turn weighed down on stocks in the other regions. 
Japan's Nikkei 225 average plunged 12.40% amid the mayhem on Monday before settling at 31,458.42. This came on top of the 5.8% plunge on Friday. Intraday, the index slumped 13.4%, marking the biggest single-day drop since a nearly 15% plunge in Oct. 1987 on the day dubbed "Black Monday."
South Korea's Kospi had to be halted amid a plunge and ended Monday's session down 8.77% at 2,441.55.
European stocks have started notably lower.

Nasdaq, R2K Futures Tumble Over 4%, VIX Spikes Over 100%, Bitcoin Plunges Hard As Global Sell-Off Deepens Amid Recession Fears

The tech rout on Wall Street<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40151107/tech-sell-off-takes-qqq-to-correction-territory-nvidia-sheds-over-5-for-week-analys"> appears to be alive and kicking, </a>with semiconductor stocks particularly coming in for severe punishment. The tech wreck seen in the premarket on Monday is being led by artificial intelligence stalwart Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Nvidia is falling along with the rest as the tide ebbs and the underperformance of Nvidia is due to the fact that it has outperformed the high-flying tech stocks amid the market upturn seen since 2023. The Jensen Huang-led company also hit with a negative headline regarding the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40152477/nvidia-upcoming-chip-launch-faces-delay-due-to-design-flaws-setback-expected-to-impact-meta-microsof"> rumored delay in its next-gen Blackwell accelerators. </a>The information reported that Blackwell B200 AI chips will be delayed due to a design flaw found late in the production process and may not ship until early 2025, potentially impacting customers such as Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Google parent Alphabet, Inc.

In an emailed reply to Benzinga, Nvidia said, &#8220;Hopper demand is very strong, broad Blackwell sampling has started, and production is on track to ramp in 2H. Beyond that, we don&#8217;t comment on rumors.&#8221;

The semiconductor industry is also stymied by weak results reported by some of the chipmakers, notable of them being Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).
