Sonos is set to rebound roughly 50% as it returns to growth, Rosenblatt Securities says.

SONO 1D mountain Sonos shares 1-day Sonos shares have sold off this year, plunging 20% while the S & P 500 has rallied 16% during the same period. Regardless, the analyst's $20 price target implies shares will surge 54% from Tuesday's closing price of $12.95. The analyst expects Sonos to continue to face challenges including tough comparisons up ahead but expects demand to improve as the company focuses on innovating new products.

Sonos last year won a limited import ban on some Google devices from the ITC, which Google has appealed. Google has countered with its own patent lawsuits in California and at the ITC, accusing Sonos of incorporating the tech company's technology into its smart speakers. The jury found Google infringed one of Sonos' two patents at issue in the trial. A Google spokesperson said on Friday the case was a "narrow dispute about some very specific features that are not commonly used," and that the company was considering its next steps. A Sonos spokesperson said the verdict "re-affirms that Google is a serial infringer of our patent portfolio."

☆ As earnings season winds down, investors turn to Tuesday's debt ceiling meeting
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-06 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +12 min

With only a small fraction of the S & P 500 left to report quarterly earnings, investors are now turning their focus to another major hurdle for the markets and economy: the debt ceiling crisis. Earlier this week, we looked back to debt limit crisis of 2011 for potential lessons. The protracted fight ultimately ended in an agreement in early August of that year, but it was a choppy summertime ride for investors. Within the portfolio, Wynn Resorts will report Tuesday, after the closing bell, and Disney will report on Wednesday, after the closing bell. Estee Lauder (EL) and Emerson Electric (EMR) reported earnings before the opening bell.

Sonos alleges Google infringed two of its patents related to multi-room wireless audio. Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said the case relates to "some very specific features that are not commonly used," and that Sonos "mischaracterized our partnership and technology." Sonos first sued Google for patent infringement in Los Angeles and at the U.S. International Trade Commission in 2020, accusing the tech giant of copying its technology during their collaboration. Sonos won a limited import ban on some Google devices from the ITC last year, which Google has appealed. Google has countered with its own patent lawsuits in California and at the ITC.

Google spokesperson José Castañeda said in a statement the company appreciated the decision to invalidate one of Sonos' patents and that Sonos "misrepresented our partnership and mischaracterized our technology." Sonos accused Google in the San Francisco case of infringing four patents related to multi-room wireless speaker technology. Alsup found Thursday that a second Sonos patent was also invalid, but rejected Google's request to cancel the remaining two patents before trial. The judge also said Google did not infringe one of the surviving patents willfully, reducing Sonos' potential damages. Alsup also said he would hold a separate bench trial after the jury trial to determine whether Google's redesigned speakers infringe Sonos' patents.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailSolar powered cars are here — but can they go mainstream? Sono Motors, Aptera Motors and Lightyear are all developing solar electric vehicles that are set to hit the market over the next few years. While these cars have lithium-based batteries that can be charged normally, they also contain integrated solar panels that can provide an additional 15 to 45 miles of range. As the tech improves, solar EVs could gain wider adoption as manufacturers and consumers seek greater efficiency and range alongside decreased dependence on grid infrastructure.

Sonos is seeing strong demand for its $349 entry-level sound bar Ray and the wireless loudspeaker Sub Mini priced at $429, Spence said. Still, the company added only 1.4 million net new households in the period, compared with 1.8 million a year earlier. "China is important in terms of our overall supply chain, but we are also in Malaysia and Vietnam. So, we have also recreated a more resilient supply chain," Spence said. Sonos is also under pressure from a strong dollar, which is expected to shave off $79 million from sales in 2023.

☆ In-wheel motors could be the future of electric cars

Mounted in the rim of an electric vehicle’s wheels, the motors increase efficiency by delivering power directly to where it’s needed most. Supercars and pickup trucksElaphe, which was founded in 2006 by Gorazd Lampič and quantum physicist Andrej Detela, has designed in-wheel motors for a range of electric vehicles. In-wheel motors are far more exposed to the elements as well as impacts and vibrations from the road. The report notes that as electric vehicles become more popular, automakers are looking towards in-wheel motors for their space-saving abilities and improved power efficiency. Another major player is Protean Electric, which was acquired by British electric vehicle maker Bedeo in 2021.

A făcut din nou muzicologie și a început să predea lecții particulare și să dirijeze grupuri mici, corale. A avut un examen de geometrie și matematică și a făcut cursurile doi ani. Facultatea de psihologie i-a prins bine și a început să studieze și să facă art therapy – terapie prin artă. Dacă trauma vine din copilărie, o să dialogăm cu acel copil, o să recunoaștem durerea lui, o să îl luăm în brațe și o să îi dăm ceea de ce avea nevoie atunci și o să ne asumăm responsabilitatea. Vika face terapie prin artă de doi ani și spune că i-ar mai plăcea să creeze și o muzică meditativă, care să fie în acord cu cine este ea.
