TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's SoftBank Group Corp (T:9984) on Wednesday reported a 27 percent rise in full-year operating profit, in line with analyst estimates, as its investments in technology firms around the world swelled.
Profit for the year ended March rose to 1.3 trillion yen ($11.87 billion) from 1 trillion yen a year ago, SoftBank said.
That compared with an average estimate of 1.3 trillion yen from 19 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
SoftBank did not release a forecast for the current business year, saying there were too many uncertain factors.
