In early March, I told you how Sony has had one ambition for literally decades: to become the world’s most fully integrated entertainment company.

Japan’s entertainment and electronics conglomerate Sony Group is about to hit a major milestone.

Sony and Honda plan to create a joint venture to form a new company this year, with the goal of developing a new generation of electric vehicles.

For decades, Sony Group Corp. has been a leader in a number of industries, such as music and movies, audio tech, video games and consoles, and digital media-focused semiconductors.

With all that has been going on recently – rising inflation, the tension in eastern Europe, volatility in the stock market and the prospect of tightening monetary policy – some may have overlooked that we are right in the middle of earnings season.
