Importantly for Sony investors, the move is not a spinoff, as at least one media outlet dubbed it. Rather, it appears Sony will reorganize this business into a largely autonomous, wholly owned operating subsidiary. This decision should enable Sony shareholders to continue to benefit from this critical reporting segment, while also creating greater focus and accountability for its management. Specifically, this realignment will carve out Sony's image-sensing business from its devices division, which also produces electronics components, including batteries and storage products. Sony's new camera-chip unit will operate under the name Sony Semiconductor Solutions.
