Sony Boosts Profit Forecast, Music Sales Drive Growth

Sony Group Corp., a big Japanese entertainment company, said it will make more money this year than it first thought.

In the last three months, its profit jumped 40% to about ¥476.5 billion.

The music part of the business sold 21% more than before, which helped a lot.

A weaker Japanese yen and the return of US tariffs also made the company’s earnings better.

Sony also plans to buy a lens maker called Tamron to grow its camera business.
