SoftBank is scheduled to release its Q1 2026 earnings on Thursday, amid a bearish Fear & Greed Index reflecting market anxiety over its massive AI investments. The company has committed over $600 billion to OpenAI and related initiatives, with $300 billion in funding due in H2 2026. Despite recording record net profit for FY2025, its stock has declined nearly 50% since June, and CDS spreads have surged. Analysts warn that if AI valuations decline before enterprise users realize tangible benefits, pressure on SoftBank could intensify. Altcoins to watch may react to any volatility in the Japanese tech giant’s stock price and debt outlook.

Odaily Planet Daily report: SoftBank will announce its first-quarter financial results for fiscal year 2026 this Thursday, with market attention focused on how it continues to fund OpenAI and AI infrastructure projects. For the fiscal year ending March 2026, SoftBank recorded its highest net profit in history, but since early June this year, the company’s stock price has declined nearly by half, and the cost of credit default swaps (CDS) has risen sharply. Additionally, SoftBank has committed over $60 billion to OpenAI and related projects, with approximately $30 billion in funding commitments maturing in the second half of 2026.

Some analysts believe that even if AI company valuations decline, SoftBank will still face significant pressure. Until enterprise customers truly demonstrate that AI can enhance productivity, SoftBank, Arm, and the memory chip sector may continue to face downward pressure.
