Sony raised its fiscal 2026 full-year operating profit forecast to ¥1.87 trillion after second-quarter operating profit rose 45% to ¥622.3 billion, Zhitong Finance reported. Gaming and entertainment drove the quarterly increase, and the company raised its full-year profit outlook by approximately 9% from previous guidance.

Games and network services generated operating profit of ¥220.1 billion, up 82.9% year over year. Imaging and sensing solutions recorded operating profit of ¥154.6 billion, up 11.8%, although revenue in that segment fell 5.1% because of conditions in the image sensor market.
