 "faq": [
  {
   "question": "Is Sony Group (SONY) a buy right now?",
   "answer": "CleaRank rates SONY Buy, on a model score of 78/100. Most of the lift comes from the trend, as the price is 15.09% above its 200-day average and 6.13% above its 50-day average, and the 50-day average is 8.44% above the 200-day. The biggest drag is revenue growth: revenue grew 8.20%, 16.0 percentage points slower than the sector median. This describes the data on this page and is not a personal recommendation."
  },
  {
   "question": "How has Sony Group (SONY) performed over the past year?",

  },
  {
   "question": "Is SONY expensive compared with Technology stocks?",
   "answer": "The price-to-sales ratio of 1.86 is 75.5% below the sector median of 7.6. These medians are drawn from 111 stocks across the entire sector, not just close competitors."
  },
  {
   "question": "Does SONY pay a dividend?",
   "answer": "Yes, SONY pays a dividend. Its trailing yield is 0.53%, equal to $0.14 per share each year. Yield is calculated by dividing the dividend by the share price, so it moves whenever either of those figures changes."
  },
  {
   "question": "What do Wall Street analysts think of SONY?",
   "answer": "Of the 4 analysts covering SONY, 3 rate it buy, 1 hold and 0 sell. Their median 12-month target is $30.50, 19.0% above the current price."

  },
  {
   "question": "What is the 52-week range of SONY?",
   "answer": "Over the past 52 weeks, SONY has moved between $19.32 and $30.34. At $25.64, the stock is at 57% of that span, 32.71% above the low and 15.49% below the high."
  },
  {
   "question": "Is SONY in an uptrend?",
   "answer": "Yes. Sony Group (SONY) trades at $25.64, above both its 50- and 200-day moving averages ($24.16 and $22.28). Its 14-day RSI on daily closes is 64.2, showing bullish momentum without being overbought."
