Shares of Sonos (NASDAQ:SONO) have now slid over 40% from their February high of $16.88, dramatically more than the S&P 500's ~12% decline.

Company Description

Sonos is the inventor of multi-room wireless sound solutions and a leading provider of home audio solutions. Its product list spans from the Move, a waterproof, portable Bluetooth smart-speaker, to the Beam, a smart, compact soundbar with best-in-class sound. All its speakers can be controlled via the Sonos Controller, an intuitive app that supports over one hundred streaming services. Select speakers are also voice-assisted.

With its open-platform speakers, Sonos attracts a broad array of customers who use Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Google Play, and TuneIn Radio, to name a few. For those who do not subscribe to any service, Sonos recently launched Sonos Radio (in April 2020), a free, in-app, ad-supported music channel that offers thousands of local radio stations as well as curated playlists for any genre or mood.

Partnerships
