Sony Reports 45% Q2 Profit Increase Driven by Games and Movies
Sony Group Corp. reported a 45% rise in second-quarter operating profit to 622.3 billion yen, surpassing market expectations due to strong performances in its games and movies divisions. Hits like "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and Marvel's "Wolverine" contributed to growth, alongside increased streaming demand for Michael Jackson's music catalog. Sony raised its full-year profit outlook by 9-15%, benefiting from a content-focused strategy amid hardware supply constraints and rising component costs. The upcoming launch of "Grand Theft Auto VI" is expected to further boost game sales.
