Is Sonos, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONO) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Sonos, Inc. at current levels.
A broken app, a fired CEO, and $97M of free cash flow the market still refuses to believe in.
Where SONO is headed
The Sonos of late 2027 looks nothing like the company that detonated its own brand in May 2024. Tom Conrad, elevated from interim to permanent CEO in early 2026, has done the unglamorous work: rebuilt the app from the studs, cut 25% of headcount from the pre-crisis peak, and stopped treating hardware launches as marketing events that happened to ship software. Revenue is back above $1.9B, gross margin is pushing 47% as the Ace headphone matures past its launch-cost drag, and free cash flow runs north of $150M on a share count that's shrunk 8% through the buyback authorized last year.
