SoftBank pivots portfolio toward Intel while selling TSMC stakes

SoftBank Group Corp. has significantly restructured its equity portfolio, making a major strategic bet on Intel while reducing its exposure to TSMC. According to filings, Intel now accounts for 66.81% of SoftBank’s U.S. stock portfolio, representing 86,956,522 shares valued at approximately $12.14 billion as of June 30, 2026.

This move follows previous investments by SoftBank in Intel, including $2 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Intel’s recent performance has supported this concentration, with the company reporting a 25.4% year-over-year revenue increase to $16.128 billion in the second quarter of 2026. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan noted this period marked the company’s largest revenue growth in over 15 years.

Simultaneously, SoftBank divested approximately 71.5% of its holdings in TSMC during the second quarter of 2026, liquidating roughly 1.4 million shares for approximately $269.8 million. Other recent portfolio adjustments include new positions in Capital One, valued at $55.5 million, and Life360, valued at approximately $488,500.
