Several readers reminded me that I missed the latest Sony financial result in the post I published last week (Sony cameras are listed under the Entertainment, Technology, and Services segment):
"TOKYO, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Sony's (6758.T) operating profit fell 29% in the July-September quarter as the company was hit by a weaker performance at its image sensor and financial divisions.
Profit for the quarter was 263 billion yen ($1.74 billion). That compared with a 306 billion yen estimate from 10 analysts polled by LSEG.
Profit at Sony's chips division slumped by 37%, hit by higher expenses and weaker sales of image sensors, which are used in smartphones.
"The North American market shows a significant year-on-year decline and at this point there's no change to our view that a recovery in the market will take place from next fiscal year," Sony President Hiroki Totoki told a news briefing."
Additional information at CNBC: "Sony profit slumps 29% on chip weakness but maintains 25 million unit PlayStation 5 target".
