Having acquired some time ago assets of the British holding company ARM, the Japanese company Softbank has proved that it will invest not only in young companies, but also in mature ones. This week, Bloomberg said that Softbank owns 4.9% of NVIDIA shares for a total of about $ 4 billion.
Under US law, Softbank was required to disclose the size of its NVIDIA package, if it had more than five percent of the company's shares. Japanese investors preferred not to cross this threshold, and therefore for a long time remained in the shadows. Only the formation of the venture fund Vision Fund forced Softbank to acknowledge the availability of a stake in NVIDIA in its portfolio of assets. By the way, the Japanese company is the fourth largest shareholder of NVIDIA. Given that the financial performance of the latter is steadily improving, buying NVIDIA shares can be a good investment of money. It's hard to say whether Softbank is pursuing purely speculative goals, or is looking to become a strategic investor in NVIDIA.
