Has SoftBank made any profitable investments lately? All I hear about them is going bust (WeWork, pizza...).

Didn't SoftBank buy high and sell low for nvidia, though? (and maybe uber, too?)

Not for Nvidia, they sold at $218/share with an average basis of $105/share.

I can't find a number for Uber alone, but they posted a $6.5B loss for Uber and WeWork together.

Ah, thanks. I didn't realize they had options to sell at $218, so I was thinking of the market price in Feb 2019.
