SoftBank lifts FY2026 revenue outlook to $49.9b

SoftBank Corp. said at its second-quarter earnings briefing that it raised its FY2026 outlook.

For the first half of FY2026, revenue rose 12% year on year to 3.8 trillion yen (US$24 billion).

SoftBank Corp. lifted its full-year revenue forecast to 7.9 trillion yen (US$49.9 billion) and its forecast for net income attributable to owners to 610 billion yen (US$3.85 billion).

The company cited stronger performance and a gain from the sale of preferred equity interests in Energy Global, LP (SB Energy).

The company also said unauthorized access to certain systems at IDC Frontier Inc., a Japan-based data center and cloud services provider, disrupted IDCF Cloud services on October 7, 2026.

The disruption affected 495 corporate and local government customers.

SoftBank Corp. said no data stored on customers’ virtual servers was exfiltrated in the incident at IDC Frontier, which operates data centers and related services.
