Sony Group's forecast for the upcoming year remains disappointing, primarily due to the impact of US tariffs, predicting a JPY 100 billion ($700 million) hit. Operating profit expectations fall to JPY 1.28 trillion, underwhelming compared to analyst estimates of JPY 1.5 trillion. Nevertheless, Sony plans a JPY 250 billion share buyback while preparing for a partial spinoff of its financial unit. In Q1, the company reported an operating income of JPY 203.7 billion and sold 18.5 million PlayStation 5 consoles amidst pressure to adjust pricing due to tariffs.
Sony is facing challenges with US tariffs impacting profit forecasts, expecting JPY 100 billion ($700 million) in losses, with concerns about its PlayStation 5 sales.
Despite a solid operating income of JPY 203.7 billion in Q1, Sonyâs new outlook is largely flat, with projections missing analyst estimates amid tariff impacts.
