Sony Group said on Tuesday it sees operating profit growing 5% to 1.28 trillion yen ($8.2 billion) this business year with a boost coming from its image sensors. Sony is a major supplier of image sensors for smartphones and that business is expected to book a 40% rise in operating profit on higher sales and lower costs. The Japanese conglomerate said it would conduct a five-for-one stock split and buy back up to 2.46% of its shares worth 250 billion yen.
Sony announced two company executives would take new leadership roles at its games unit with responsibility for the technology and content sides of the business. Hideaki Nishino will become CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment's Platform Business Group with Hermen Hulst appointed CEO of SIE's Studio Business Group from June 1. Sony, which reports its full year earnings later on Tuesday, is under pressure to show improvement in margins at the games business behind the PlayStation 5 console.
