SoftBank posted its initially quarterly profit immediately after 4 quarters of losses, smashing as a result of analyst estimates, pushed by huge gains at its flagship tech expense arm, the Eyesight Fund.

Here’s how SoftBank did in the December quarter against LSEG estimates:

Net profits: 1.77 trillion Japanese yen versus 1.8 trillion Japanese yen anticipated.
Net cash flow: 950 billion Japanese yen as opposed to 196.5 billion yen predicted.

SoftBank’s flagship tech financial investment arm experienced a rough time in the fiscal 12 months that ended in March last 12 months, posting a document loss of about $32 billion amid a slump in tech stock charges and the souring of some of the business’ bets in China.
