SoftBank Plans to Spin Off AI Robotics Firm Roze in US IPO Targeting USD 100 Billion Valuation

SoftBank plans to integrate its AI and robotics operations into an independent firm called Roze and seek a US IPO targeting a valuation of around USD 100 billion. The spin-off could take place as early as the second half of 2026, though the timeline and valuation target remain subject to considerable uncertainty.

South Korea's electronics giant Samsung Electronics announced record-breaking first quarter results, with semiconductors division leading growth. Total revenue reached 78 trillion won, with net profit surging 145% year-over-year to 15 trillion won.

Memory chip demand surged due to global AI infrastructure expansion and data center upgrades. Samsung's DRAM and NAND flash memory chips benefited from increased enterprise spending on AI computing resources.

The display division maintained stable margins despite competitive pressures, with OLED screen sales growing strongly. Samsung secured major contracts from leading smartphone and television manufacturers globally.

The company upgraded full-year earnings guidance, projecting continued strength in semiconductor demand driven by AI adoption. Samsung announced plans for massive capital investments in advanced chip manufacturing facilities in South Korea and the United States.
