SoftBank Group reported its first annual profit in four years as it ramped up investments in artificial intelligence.

The Japanese technology investment company said Tuesday that it booked net profit of 1.153 trillion yen, equivalent to $7.77 billion, for the year ended March, thanks partly to gains from its stake in T-Mobile US and other investments. That followed three consecutive years of losses.
