There’s a $60 billion reason why SoftBank Group Corp. founder Masayoshi Son might feel a little down.

"I have no doubt at all. No matter what changes take place, I have never been doubtful,” Son told shareholders Friday of his belief in the information revolution that forms the underlying thesis for his investment strategy.
