Sony (SNE) Stock Future Prospects

After years of meticulous planning, the company launched the PS5 to bolster its shrinking revenue collection avenues amid the pandemic. The launch of the latest gaming console gave investors hope that the Sony stock will get new fuel to pump.

Less than a quarter a year since the launch of the PS5, the company is now reportedly slashing its production budget. According to people familiar with the company’s operations, Sony has cut the PS5 production budget and reduced the units in the fiscal year by 4 million.

However, the effect might not be severe on the Sony stock if the company can deliver consistently and manage to keep the rest of its business doing well.

“If Sony can really ship 11 million for this fiscal year, we do not think the shortfall will be critical,” Kazunori Ito, senior equity analyst at Morningstar Investment Management Asia, told CNBC. He added that the market’s focus will be on pricing as well as the pipeline of games.

Bloomberg said the Japanese electronics powerhouse has been facing manufacturing issues, with production yields as low as 50% for its SOC (system-on-chip).
