On Monday, Sonos Corporation (SONO) announced that it had beaten Wall Street expectations by reporting adjusted earnings of $0.11 per share on revenue of $695 million for the quarter ended September 30th. This was considerably higher than the analyst consensus estimate of $0.08 per share on revenue of $663 million, and implies that Sonos is anticipating a billion-dollar revenue for 2017.

With this acquisition, Sonos will become the leading music streaming platform in Europe and provide users with access to over 40 million digital tracks.

Conclusion

Sonos had a great first quarter, beating expectations on both revenue and earnings. They now predict $2 billion in revenue in 2023, up from their previous prediction of $1.75 billion. This growth is likely due to the continued success of the Sonos One and Play:5 products as well as partnerships with Apple, Amazon, and Google.
