Sony Group Expected to Post Lower Third-Quarter Net Profit -- Earnings Preview

Dow Jones

02/04

By Kosaku Narioka

Sony Group is scheduled to report its third-quarter results on Thursday. Here's what you need to know:

NET PROFIT FORECAST: Sony Group's net profit is expected to have fallen 6.8% from a year earlier to 348.2 billion yen, equivalent to $2.24 billion, for the three months ended December, according to Visible Alpha poll of analysts. That would compare with net profit of Y373.74 billion in the year-earlier period.

REVENUE FORECAST: Third-quarter revenue is projected to have dropped 17% from a year earlier to Y3.681 trillion, according to the Visible Alpha poll.

The stock is down 17% year to date, following a 24% gain in 2025.

WHAT TO WATCH:

--For the year ending March, Sony has forecast revenue to decline 0.3% to Y12.000 trillion and net profit to fall 1.6% to Y1.050 trillion. Investors will be watching for any changes to full-year guidance.

--Second-quarter operating profit in the game business fell 13% to Y120.35 billion due to impairment losses and development expenses, despite higher revenue from software sales and network services. Investors will be closely monitoring performance in Sony's key segment.

--Sony said in December it was taking a majority stake in the company that owns the iconic Snoopy and Charlie Brown characters as it expands its entertainment business. Investors will be looking for updates on the company's entertainment strategy.
