On June 22, Sony fell 3.2% in regular trading, trading at $19.69/share, with turnover of $28.24 million. The decline came amid reports that Sony-owned Bungie studio is planning a massive restructuring this summer.
According to multiple reports, anonymous sources indicate that at least 50% of Bungie employees, including both full-time staff and contractors, may face layoffs. The restructuring is driven by Destiny 2 ceasing substantive content updates after June 9, the underperformance of its new title Lost Starship: Marathon, and the confirmation that Destiny 3 is not currently in development. Bungie joined Sony Interactive Entertainment in January 2022, and this large-scale workforce reduction could negatively impact Sony's gaming business segment, weighing on market sentiment.
Within the Consumer Electronics sector, performance was mixed. Among individual stocks, Garmin up 0.13%, Sonos Inc flat 0%, GoPro down 4.11%, Universal Electronics down 1.46%, Algorhythm Holdings Inc. up 1.0%.
