Smart speaker maker Sonos has officially filed to go public.
The company, which confidentially filed for an IPO in April, could raise as much as $100 million in the offering. It could be valued at as much as $3 billion.
According to its regulatory filings, Sonos brought in revenue of over $1 billion in the 12 months ending in March. It posted a profit of $13.1 million in the first half of its fiscal year, slightly lower than the $15 million brought in the previous year. Over the last 12 months though, the company posted a loss of about $16 million.
Sonos, founded in 2002, has become a massive player in the home audio space, its products integrating with Amazon Alexa. But it's also got a lot of competition, from Amazon itself, as well as Apple, Google, and traditional speaker companies like Bose.
The company plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker "SONO."
