On December 10, 2024, Sony shares rose 4.1% to 3,338 yen ($22), surpassing the previous record closing of 3,260 yen set in 2000. This was reported by Video Games Chronicle.

The company’s shares began to rise in November this year after Sony announced an increase in profits in its gaming segment for the second quarter of the fiscal year.

Operating profit reached approximately $900 million, setting a new record for PlayStation in the second quarter of the fiscal year.

Sony predicts that the PlayStation business will achieve record operating profit in the current fiscal year, which ends in March 2025, thanks to strong sales of third-party games and PlayStation Plus subscriptions.
