Description: SONY Sony December 01, 2025
Sony Group Corporation (NYSE:SONY) is a diversified technology and entertainment conglomerate that designs, manufactures, and sells electronic equipment across consumer, professional, and industrial markets worldwide. Its portfolio spans gaming consoles and software, recorded music and publishing, film and television production, visual-effects studios, and a broad array of hardware including TVs, cameras, mobile devices, and image-sensor semiconductors, complemented by financial services such as insurance and banking.
Key recent metrics: FY2023 revenue reached approximately $86 billion, with the Game & Network Services segment delivering about $27 billion-driven by strong PlayStation 5 sales and growth in subscription services. Sony’s image-sensor business holds roughly 20 % of the global market, benefitting from rising demand for AI-enabled cameras and smartphones. A macro driver is the ongoing shift toward subscription-based entertainment, which is expanding recurring revenue streams but also intensifying competition from platforms like Netflix and Amazon.
