SONYSony Group Corporation
Is the business good?
Earnings fully cash-backed (1.8×). That is the only one of 4 checks this filer's data supports, so take it as a single data point rather than a settled answer.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash. Conversion is worsening vs a year ago.
Where this answer is blind. The F-score rewards improvement, so an already-elite company can score mid-pack.
