Sony Group Corporation

SONY position long Lyrical Asset Management

Thesis

Sony is undervalued at around 10x earnings, ex-cash, and is a leader in video games, music rights, and TV/film production. The market misunderstands its business model, viewing it as cyclical when it has transitioned to a recurring, software-driven platform with strong network effects.

Did it work?

inconclusive confidence: low

While the stock has appreciated significantly by 124.4%, the time elapsed since the pitch is unknown, making it difficult to assess whether this performance aligns with the thesis's expected timeframe. The thesis suggests a long-term value based on a misunderstood business model, which may still need more time to fully play out. Therefore, without knowing the duration since the pitch, the outcome remains uncertain.
