SONO--
The company reported revenue of $344.8 million in the fiscal third quarter, which ended June 28, beating the $325 million average analyst estimate [1]. Sonos shares gained more than 5% in late trading following the earnings report, indicating investor confidence in the company's turnaround efforts.
Tom Conrad, the tech industry veteran appointed as CEO in July, has emphasized the company's return to its founding principles of craftsmanship, customer-first design, and innovation. He has canceled plans for a streaming video player, known as Pinewood, to focus on improving the mobile app and software updates for existing products [1].
Sonos has released seven major and nine minor software updates for its whole home audio platform in the last 90 days, including an update for the $399 Ace headphones that enhanced sound quality and added a new TrueCinema feature [1]. The company's roadmap extends through fiscal 2026 and beyond, with Conrad's leadership aiming to restore consumer trust and drive growth.
Given the uncertainty surrounding which products will be affected and the extent of the price increase, consumers are advised to purchase items on their Sonos wish list as soon as possible.
