Sony hikes profit forecast on strong gaming business

ECONOMY 13.02.2025

Japanese entertainment and electronics giant Sony upgraded its annual net profit forecast to $7.0 billion on Thursday thanks to its strong gaming business.

Text size:

The conglomerate said it now expects a net profit of 1.08 trillion yen in the year ending March 31, compared with an earlier projection of 980 billion yen.

It also lifted its annual sales forecast to 13.2 trillion yen, from an earlier estimate of 12.7 trillion yen.

The change came after Sony saw robust sales of its games, music and financial products in October-December, a key holiday shopping season, with the weaker yen also providing a boost.

Sales reached 4.41 trillion yen in the quarter, up 18 percent on-year, giving a net profit of 373.7 billion yen, which was an increase of three percent.

Sony said sales in its games segment were boosted by an "increase in sales of hardware due to an increase in unit sales" in the December quarter, while the music business also enjoyed surging sales, thanks to "higher revenues from streaming services".
