Sony Group Corporation shares fall 1.50% premarket as Japan's Nikkei Stock Average hits record high.

Sony Group Corporation fell 1.50% in premarket trading. The decline in Sony's stock price may be attributed to the overall market sentiment, as Japan's Nikkei Stock Average hit a record intraday high, driven by easing concerns about the impact of U.S. tariffs on corporate earnings and rising demand for equipment to power artificial intelligence. Several Japanese companies have raised their earnings forecasts, indicating a milder impact of U.S. tariffs than previously feared.
