Sony Q3 FY2025 fincnial results recap for their camerra/sensor divisio:

  • Sony’s sensor business is thriving — rising volume + pricing/mix improvements, plus raised full-year guidance.

Panasonic

Panasonic Q3 financial results recap for their camera business, which falls under the “Lifestyle” segment, specifically within the Living Appliances and Solutions Company (LAS) division (source):

  • Consumer Camera Performance (Under Lifestyle/LAS): LAS reported Q3 sales of 224.4 billion yen (94% YoY) and adjusted OP of 12.6 billion yen (down 5.3 billion yen YoY). Within this, consumer electronics (including AVC/cameras) saw decreased sales due to weaker demand in overseas markets, despite steady sales in Japan. No specific sales or profit figures were provided solely for cameras, but the overall decline in consumer electronics suggests softness in the camera category. This aligns with broader market challenges for consumer AV products.
  • Professional Camera Performance (Under Connect): The Connect segment includes Professional AV, but details focus on Avionics and Process Automation growth. No explicit mentions of professional camera sales or profits were provided, though the segment’s overall 109% YoY sales growth indicates potential positive contributions from AV solutions amid strong ICT demand. Broadcast and professional imaging products are highlighted as key offerings, but performance data is aggregated.
