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."
If you wanted to previously find an image that perfectly matched what you saw in your head online, you had to type in a wordy search inquiry and would get countless results back. Now, that mental snapshot can be crafted in seconds by artificial intelligence and sometimes it’s even better than you could imagine.
Google on Wednesday disclosed plans to infuse its dominant search engine with more advanced artificial-intelligence technology, a drive that's in response to one of the biggest threats to its long-established position as the internet's main gateway.
