He said the telecommunications company will bring 5,000 jobs back to the U.S. He also said a new company known as OneWeb will be hiring 3,000 people. It was unclear whether this was something new or part of Softbank's previous announcement to invest $50 billion in the U.S.
Twitter shares were up slightly after the company announced the launch of live 360 video. The social media giant touted that users will be able to see live, interactive 360 video from "interesting broadcasters and explore what's happening with them." Only select partners will be able to go live in 360 via Periscope, the company said.
Alere shares fell more than 1 percent after its Arriva Medical unit filed an appeal with the Administrative Law Judge asking to reinstate Arriva's Medicare billing privileges.
