Tokyo, May 8 (Jiji Press)--Sony Group Corp. said Friday it expects to post a record group net profit for fiscal 2026, which began in April, on the back of its robust game and other entertainment operations.

The Japanese technology and entertainment conglomerate's net profit is forecast at 1.16 trillion yen, up 12.5 pct from fiscal 2025.
