SoftBank Group Corp. shares fell by more than 10% following a surge in global oil prices and increased scrutiny regarding artificial intelligence safety. The sell-off represents a significant contraction in the firm's market capitalization.
The equity is currently trading 36% below the record high it achieved only three months ago. This rapid decline highlights the volatility facing the company's investment portfolio as macroeconomic headwinds from the energy sector intersect with emerging risks in the AI industry.
