Sony ratings downgraded by Fitch Ratings
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Sony’s ratings to BBB- from BBB as a result of its “weakened financial performance” and the difficulties the company is predicted to have in recovering market share due to tough competition and despite an effort to regain growth through acquisitions.
“A likely overall FY12 EBIT loss, excluding financial services, and an increase in debt driven by acquisitions will significantly weaken Sony’s credit profile,” says Nitin Soni, Associate Director in Asia-Pacific Telecommunications, Media and Technology team.
Overall, Fitch expects the EBIT losses in Sony’s consumer products and services and professional, device and solutions will more than offset Sony’s pictures and music segment’s profits (which the agency expects to generate mid-single-digit EBIT margins) in FY12 and FY13. (DigitalLook)
