As we recently noted , the Japanese company Softbank, which recently took over the assets of ARM, managed to not attract public attention to the fact of owning a package of 4.9% of NVIDIA shares for a long time. After crossing the five-percent threshold, Softbank would not be able to remain in the shadows - first of all, for the reason that even with the current structure of NVIDIA shareholders, the Japanese company is the fourth largest of them.
Bloomberg, referring to its own sources, said that Softbank has a plan to increase its share in the capital of NVIDIA. The most interesting thing is that Japanese investors are ready to influence the management of the American company. This means that the demand for NVIDIA assets in this case is not only of an investment nature.
Will NVIDIA under the influence of Softbank pay more attention to products with ARM architecture, we are not going to say. The option of cooperation in new spheres, which both companies consider promising, is not excluded. For example, the segment of artificial intelligence systems certainly has a decent financial return, and NVIDIA already has plans to use its computing accelerators in this industry.
