Sony Financial to list on Sept, 29

Sony Corporation (NYSE: SONY) has announced that its financial arm, Sony Financial, will list on the stock market on September 29, 2025. This move is expected to provide investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to Sony's financial services sector, which includes insurance, banking, and asset management.

The listing comes amidst a period of significant earnings and revenue growth for Sony as a whole. Despite the challenging global economic environment, Sony has consistently beaten earnings per share (EPS) and revenue estimates over the past two years [1]. For the first quarter of 2025, analysts anticipate an EPS of $0.21, a decrease of 99.9% year-over-year (YoY), and revenue of $17.96 billion, down 99.4% YoY. However, these estimates are expected to be exceeded based on Sony's track record of beating estimates.

Sony's financial services division has been a key growth driver for the company, with notable investments and strategic partnerships. For instance, Sony's $460 million investment in Bandai Namco to boost anime and manga content highlights the company's commitment to diversifying its revenue streams [2]. This move is part of a broader strategy to strengthen Sony's position in the entertainment and media sector.

Investors and financial professionals are advised to closely monitor Sony's upcoming earnings announcement on August 7, 2025, for any insights into the performance of Sony Financial and its potential impact on the overall Sony Corporation.
