Deep Analysis

Return on equity (ROE) measures how much profit a company generates for each dollar of shareholders’ equity, so 13.2% means SONY earns $13.20 per $100 of invested capital.

That sits just below the sector median of 13.8%, placing SONY at the 48th percentile among peers — essentially middle of the pack. The metric’s multi-quarter trend direction is N/A, with a year-over-year change also N/A, though the quarter-over-quarter change is +7.3%, showing recent improvement. Because the current level is near the sector average while the quarterly gain hints at momentum, the risk profile is moderate: no clear edge over peers but no sign of deterioration either. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the ROE is solid but unexceptional and lacks confirmed yearly direction.
