TOKYO — Sony Group reported a net profit increase of over 30% to more than $2 billion for its first fiscal quarter, with notable growth in its chips, music, and games businesses. The company has raised its full-year forecast following this strong quarterly performance. Sony's profits were supported by a weak yen and refunds on U.S. tariffs.
