SoftBank Group disclosed in a 13F filing that Intel stock represented nearly 67% of its disclosed U.S. equity portfolio as of June 30, 2026, with the position totaling 86,956,522 shares valued at $12,141,739,167. The filing, submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, places Intel far ahead of SoftBank's next-largest U.S. holdings. Symbotic stock came in second at around $1.79 billion, or roughly 10% of the total, while T-Mobile U.S. stock added another $1.68 billion, or about 9%, according to Yahoo Finance.
The remainder of the portfolio — a collection of fintech names including Klarna, Chime, eToro, Nu Holdings, and Inter & Co — amounted to a marginal slice of the whole. The Intel position reflects a substantial escalation of SoftBank's existing exposure to the chipmaker. SoftBank Group chair Masayoshi Son's firm had previously committed a $2 billion strategic investment into Intel that closed in the third quarter of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance.
Intel's second-quarter fiscal 2026 results showed revenue of $16.128 billion, a 25.4% increase from the prior-year period, with the Data Center and AI segment posting a 59% gain to reach $6.262 billion. For the third quarter of 2026, Intel set a revenue outlook of $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion. SoftBank's Intel bet figures into a broader picture of gains and losses at the Japanese conglomerate.
The firm reported first-quarter net income of 347.3 billion yen, or approximately $2.2 billion, driven by a 1.3 trillion yen gain on Intel stock. Intel stock has risen close to 400% on a year-over-year basis. SoftBank's cumulative investment in OpenAI is expected to reach approximately $64.6 billion upon completion of a third planned tranche in October 2026, representing an ownership stake of roughly 13%, the company said.
The 13F filing covers positions held as of June 30. Institutional money managers with more than $100 million in U.S. equities must submit the form no later than 45 days after each quarter's close. Even measured against SoftBank's well-documented history of outsized single-asset wagers, the Intel stake is notable: in raw dollar terms, it exceeds the combined value of every other U.S. equity position the firm disclosed.
