Sony Focuses on its Electronics Business

Sony Corp. has sold off part of its holdings in an online securities broker – Monex Beans Holdings Inc.

The bean counters at that company really are bean counters.

Sony will make a profit of 3.5 billion yen ($30 million) from the sale…and still keep a 7.7% interest.

Sony says it wants to refocus on its consumer electronics business – digital music and flat-panel televisions.

A week ago, Sony made 9 billion yen ($80 million) in a partial sale of its interests in Stylelife Holdings.

Sony is not hurting for money…or is it?

With $110 million extra to work with, Sony aims to do what it does best – consumer electronics.

What do you think?
