Sony's chief financial officer said the company expects to contain the impact of memory prices on its fiscal 2026 forecast to 30 billion yen in the entertainment, technology and services segment. The disclosure provides detail on how rising memory costs will affect the company's projections for the fiscal year.
Memory prices have been a point of attention in the electronics and semiconductor supply chain in recent quarters. The company indicated that the 30 billion yen figure represents the net effect it anticipates incorporating into its overall FY2026 outlook.
No further breakdown of the calculation or specific memory types was provided in the statement.
The entertainment, technology and services segment includes a range of Sony operations, from its PlayStation gaming business to imaging sensors and consumer electronics. Higher memory costs can affect production expenses for devices that rely on DRAM and NAND components.
The company has stated it will manage the pressure within the existing forecast parameters rather than revising the overall target. This approach suggests internal offsets or hedging measures are expected to limit the net financial hit.
Sony runs from April 2026 through March 2027.
The memory price impact projection comes as the company continues to navigate global supply chain dynamics following periods of volatility in semiconductor pricing. The chief financial officer's comments were reported by FirstSquawk on May 8, 2026. Further details on how the company plans to address memory costs are expected in upcoming earnings briefings or supplemental disclosures.
