21 mai (Reuters) - Sony envisage d'évaluer la proposition de l'un de ses principaux actionnaires, le fonds Third Point, de scinder une partie de ses activités de cinéma et de musique, rapport le quotidien économique japonais Nikkei.

L'action Sony cotée à New York a fini en hausse de plus de 9% après la publication de cet article.

Le fondateur de Third Point, l'investisseur milliardaire Daniel Loeb, a appelé la semaine dernière le groupe japonais à scinder sa très rentable division de divertissement, une suggestion initialement rejetée par le groupe nippon d'électronique grand public. (voir: )

Contacté par Reuters, Sony s'est refusé à tout commentaire sur l'article du Nikkei.

Third Point, le hedge fund de Daniel Loeb, détient un peu plus de 6% du capital de Sony selon l'investisseur, une participation valorisée environ 1,1 milliard de dollars.
