Sony Group Corp <6758> is significantly up. The company announced its second quarter results last weekend, with operating profit in the July-September quarter reaching 455.1 billion yen, an increase of 73.0% compared to the same period last year, significantly exceeding market financial estimates by over 100 billion yen. The strong performance of the gaming business is a major factor contributing to the significant profit increase and the positive deviation from market expectations. The full-year forecast remains at 1 trillion 311 billion yen, an 8.4% increase from the previous period, with anticipation for a significant positive deviation from the actual results. While the gaming business is seeing an uplift, it seems that imaging and other aspects are being revised downward.
