On Tuesday, Sony Group revised its operating profit forecast for the fiscal year concluding in March 2026 upward by 8%, bringing it to 1.43 trillion yen (around $9.48 billion). This upward adjustment stems from the fact that the impact of U.S. tariffs has been less severe than initially projected, coupled with the robust performance of Sony's entertainment and semiconductor (chip) sectors. According to the company's report, operating profit for the second fiscal quarter, which ended in late September, saw a 10% increase, reaching 429 billion yen. This growth was primarily fueled by rising sales in its music division (which encompasses anime content) and semiconductor (chip) business.
