Deep Analysis

Gross margin is the share of revenue left after paying direct production costs, so 36.7% means Sony keeps about $0.37 of every sales dollar before operating expenses.

This sits below the sector median of 44.9%, placing Sony in the 34th percentile of peers. The trend is limited: year-over-year change is unavailable, but quarter-over-quarter gross margin rose by 19.2%, with historical values of 36.7% (current) and 30.8% (prior). The level is weak relative to the sector, yet the sharp quarter-over-quarter gain suggests recent pricing, mix, or cost improvements. That combination creates a mixed risk profile: the margin gap points to competitive pressure, while the recent jump offers a possible recovery angle. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict because Sony remains below the peer median, and one positive quarter does not erase that structural gap.
