Sony Corp soared 11 percent after Daiwa Securities raised its rating to 'buy' from 'neutral,' saying that the company could turn profitable in fiscal 2014 due to strong smartphone sales. The stock closed at a 11-month high of 1,668 yen and was the main board's most traded stock by turnover. Japan's business daily Nikkei reported that the Xperia Z, a new smartphone model Sony launched last month, was the top-selling model in Japan for four straight weeks.

looks like teh xperia Z is doing pretty good, hopefully it can keep up its sales now that the galaxy 4 is announced.

Because of the clicks.

I hope PS4 is a real success for Sony. They haven't had a hit since the PS2 days.

Good to hear.

Sounds like getting into real estate was a good move for them.

The markets love smartphones right now. Sony might be a good buy because in may inflate with cell phone hype. 11% is a real nice gain.

Oh... my... Kaz

Wel this will mainly be because of those buildings, but still.... KAZ! KAZ! KAZ!
