Sony Corp's new President and Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai attends a news conference at the company's headquarters in Tokyo in this April 12, 2012 file photo. Sony Corp CEO Hirai has spent $1.8 billion in the past three months snapping up an assortment of businesses such as medical equipment and cloud gaming, leaving investors to worry he is blowing his firm's waning finances on a muddled plan to revive the fading giant. Hirai, a Sony veteran of nearly three decades, took over the top spot in April 2012 pledging to reshape the once-stellar brand around the pillars of gaming, digital imaging and mobile devices. Since his promotion, the company's stock market value has fallen by around $8 billion.     To match Analysis SONY-FINANCES/            REUTERS/Yuriko Nakao/Files  (JAPAN - Tags: HEADSHOT BUSINESS)

据《金融时报》北京时间4月21日报道,由于预计几乎所有业务部门的表现都有所提升,索尼公司在周五把2017财年营业利润预期上调近19%,把税前利润预期上调近28%。

和2月份的预期相比,索尼并没有调整2017财年营收数据,但是将合并营业利润预期上调18.8%至2850亿日元(约合26亿美元),和2016财年相比下滑3.1%。

索尼称,之所以上调营业利润预期,是因为除零部件业务外的所有业务表现预计都将得到提升,这源于金融服务部门的摊销费用低于预期,半导体和其它部门的成本低于预期。

索尼还将2017财年税前利润预期上调27.6%至2500亿日元,和2016财年相比下降17.9%;归属于索尼股东的净利润预期上调180.8%至730亿日元,和2016财年相比下降50.6%。

索尼将于4月28日公布2017财年正式财报。在最新业绩预期宣布前,索尼在东京交易所上市的股票股价周五报收于3592日元,上涨0.6%。
