# Sony Group's (TSE:6758) Promising Earnings May Rest On Soft Foundations

> Sony Group Corporation (TSE:6758) reported strong earnings, but analysis indicates that these results may not be as solid as they appear. A JP¥114b gain from unusual items raises concerns about the sustainability of profits. Analysts suggest that without these one-off boosts, future profits may decline. Despite a 38% growth in earnings per share over three years, the statutory earnings may not accurately reflect the company's true earnings power. Further analysis and forecasts are available for a deeper understanding of Sony's financial outlook.

**Sony Group Corporation's** (TSE:6758) stock was strong after they recently reported robust earnings. However, our analysis suggests that shareholders may be missing some factors that indicate the earnings result was not as good as it looked.

## The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

To properly understand Sony Group's profit results, we need to consider the JP¥114b gain attributed to unusual items. We can't deny that higher profits generally leave us optimistic, but we'd prefer it if the profit were to be sustainable. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And that's as you'd expect, given these boosts are described as 'unusual'. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is).

That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.

## Our Take On Sony Group's Profit Performance

We'd posit that Sony Group's statutory earnings aren't a clean read on ongoing productivity, due to the large unusual item. Because of this, we think that it may be that Sony Group's statutory profits are better than its underlying earnings power. Nonetheless, it's still worth noting that its earnings per share have grown at 38% over the last three years. The goal of this article has been to assess how well we can rely on the statutory earnings to reflect the company's potential, but there is plenty more to consider. While it's really important to consider how well a company's statutory earnings represent its true earnings power, it's also worth taking a look at what analysts are forecasting for the future. At Simply Wall St, we have analyst estimates which you can view by clicking here.

This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Sony Group's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business.
