Deep News17:10

Despite facing multiple pressures, including rising memory chip costs, supply constraints, and the recent termination of its electric vehicle project, Sony Group issued an optimistic earnings forecast on Friday. Bolstered by increased profitability in its gaming and film segments, Sony anticipates its full-year profit for the current fiscal year will grow by more than 10%. This outlook signals Sony's continued shift away from its traditional identity as a consumer electronics maker toward becoming a platform-centric enterprise focused on entertainment and content.

Sony forecasts that for the fiscal year ending March 2027, its net profit will increase by 12.5% year-on-year to 1.16 trillion yen (approximately $7.39 billion). Operating profit is projected to rise by 10.5% to 1.6 trillion yen, representing an increase of about 11% compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, sales are expected to see a slight decline of 1.4%, to 12.3 trillion yen.
