Sentiment mixed as India profit rises but price target is cut

Sony India reported a 19% increase in net profit to Rs 186.88 crore for fiscal year 2026, supported by a modest 0.85% rise in revenue to Rs 7,917.99 crore, according to regulatory filings. The company is set to release its financial results before November 5. A Japanese broker lowered its target price for Sony Group stock to JPY 4,700 on October 7, 2026.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees SONY's rally driven by India’s profit growth and short-term overbought signals. He cautions that the price is stretched above key moving averages while the ADX reading below 20 reflects a fragile trend. The broker’s target downgrade and weak revenue growth cast doubt on sustainability. Technicals signal buyers are dominant yet stretched to extremes. "I advise caution at these levels, as the risk of correction is rising amid mixed momentum and elevated valuations."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, takes a constructive outlook on SONY after robust Indian earnings. He views continued price strength and bullish structure above all major averages as confirmation of upside resilience. Market offers opportunities despite a slight broker target cut, given positive sentiment and intraday buying dominance. "Further growth is expected if $26.25 is cleared — the bullish setup remains intact and fresh highs could emerge on sustained momentum."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, notes the technical setup favors consolidation near $25.61–$26.25. He sees potential for a breakout if volatility expands or sentiment shifts. Divergence between strong price action and soft trend strength may offer tactical reversal trades. "If resistance at $26.25 breaks, I would look for momentum-driven entries, otherwise a mean-reversion play could develop on exhaustion."

Uptrend challenged as mixed momentum meets resistance near highs

SONY is trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages at $24.03, $23.98, and $22.26, confirming positive trends across all timeframes. Resistance is seen near $26.25, with support at $25.61. Momentum indicators are mixed: the MACD points to ongoing bullishness, but the ADX at 17.78 signals a weak trend. RSI is firm at 65.49, while Stochastic RSI and CCI indicate overbought conditions. The Bull/Bear Power reading of 0.85 also shows intraday buying dominance and an overbought state. The Awesome Oscillator supports the current trend. Price action is near the day's high, with volatility at 1.16%. Overall, the tone remains strong but technicals reflect diverging signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that Sony's strategy of higher hardware prices supported near-term revenue but could not fully offset weakening volumes in the US console market. The stock now faces a pivotal technical juncture, with a sustained break above $26.25 likely needed to confirm upside momentum against a backdrop of mixed longer-term fundamentals.
