Thanks to higher memory prices, Sony has a tough couple of years ahead, which is a pity, because the firm’s achievements in FY25 should have set it on a path to solid earnings growth in both years. Problematically, Sony is now heavily exposed to decisions by others – notably Apple’s iPhone pricing – and the outlook could be considerably worse than Pelham Smithers outlines in this earnings preview for FY25 and beyond.
This note contains two articles related to Sony: One highlighting how November sales of the 5-yr-old PS5 is outselling the Switch 2 and an update on Sony’s new game Marathon. It is due in next year but PSA’s gaming expert, Pelham Smithers, is not expecting much.
While the FY25 Q3 results constituted a beat, they came in quite close to what the share price implied. However, the guidance for Q4 surprised on the upside. Pelham Smithers reviews the performance and outlook, with a readacross to beneficiaries in Japan and the numbers from China.
