via sinisterskrillaSony $SNE earnings this Friday. Book that shit. Sony is about to have release the best earnings in the history of the company and the company flies under the radar like none other.... like it is actually a problem https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/1... Just take 20 minutes and look into the following: Last 3 earnings and the percentage beats. (Last quarter was a 75% beat - came in at 2.13 off 1.10 estimates. Stock ran 8 percent and I shit you not the very next market day was Feb. 5th when the correction started. Sony held strong for a day or two then fell in line with market and is still 4% shy of the $52 price that it hit.) Jumanji sales and fucking Peter Rabbit sales (not even kidding). Jumanji was a 10 bagger (90 mil budget 1 bil sales) and Peter faggo Rabbit was a 6+ bagger. God of War best rated PS exclusive ever and is developed in house aka 100% Sony profit share on sales, video game growth in general, digital download popularity boosting margins over discs, and VR adoption growth. That Spielberg joint Ready Player One was a nice 2 hour advertisement for VR too. Sony Semiconductors/image sensors division is a bit risky cuz they supply Apple but they also supply LG, some of Samsung, Xiomai, and more... 45% market share total in cell phones. Also they sell image sensors to drones and security cameras and shit. They're also pushing into self-driving automotive which need like 16 image sensors a car. Spotify IPO on the other hand is great news. 1 billion dollar equity gain and 250 million cash gain that is going on the books as earnings for coming year AKA great guidance (sony's fiscal year just ended March 31st so they will be releasing guidance.) I really don't think it's priced in. Music revenue in general gaining 10% a year with explosion of streaming. 2015 started the turn around and was the first positive year in music in a decade and every year has been better. Sony also has a huge financial division in Japan that helps alleviate any image sensor softness. Sony high end TVs have more than doubled their market share in the last year. From like 12% to now nearly even with LG and Samsung. Sony electronics though not a huge long term growth catalyst like video games are selling the best they have in years and are surprisingly still growing as opposed to shrinking. They make headphones that are just about the best reviewed even better than Bose, their semi-pro cameras are better than Nikon and Cannon and doing well. The company is just doing better than ever all around and pivoting to high-end high profit items. People still buy shiny shit, just not poor people anymore their minds are still blown with smartphones $SNE, Sony Corporation / H1
