🔴 SoftBank Group is trading 4.41% down today after profit-taking following August 5 rally

SoftBank Group is trading at ¥5695.00, down 4.41%, after investors took profits following its sharp August 5 rally.

• The decline also reflected a broader August 6 selloff in Japanese AI and semiconductor stocks, with SoftBank Group among the largest contributors to the Nikkei’s drop.
• First-quarter profit fell 18% year over year but exceeded expectations, making earnings a secondary sentiment factor rather than the primary intraday catalyst.
