Sony (SONY, Financial) shares rose over 2%, hitting $22.67, marking the highest level since February 2022. The company's Japanese stocks also surged nearly 3%, setting a new record. Sony has projected an operating profit of 1.31 trillion yen for the fiscal year ending in March, six times that of 1999. The entertainment sector is expected to contribute 60% of the overall profit, while the electronics division is no longer reported separately. According to Mizuho's global tech research head Yasuo Nakane, Sony's unique position is attributed to its cross-industry involvement in movies, music, games, and anime, along with its electronic technologies like image sensors and cameras.
