Sonos files to go public, expected to make $1 billion in revenue in 2018

The company plans on raising as much as $100 million for its IPO.

On Friday morning, July 6, Sonos officially filed to become a publically traded company.

Sonos will be traded on Nasdaq as SONO and plans on raising as much as $100 million leading up to its IPO (initial public offering). However, as noted by MarketWatch, "that amount was estimated as a placeholder amount."

As for Sonos's performance, things are looking good for the company. There was a total net loss reported of $14.2 million for its fiscal year in 2017, but that's down considerably compared to a net loss of $38.2 million for its fiscal 2016 year. Going back all the way to 2015, Sonos saw a loss of $68.8 million.

Moving over to revenue, Sonos has generated an impressive $992.5 million for its fiscal 2017 year which is up quite a bit from the $901.3 million and $843.5 million it saw in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As for when Sonos will go public, MarketWatch once again notes that:

The company is looking to go public at a time that the Renaissance IPO ETF has gained 6.3% over the past three months and the S&P 500 has tacked on 5.1%.

FuboTV may be your best option for watching the World Cup finals

FuboTV is streaming the World Cup Finals in 4K resolution on pretty much every platform. And it has a free seven-day trial . It's available on Chromecast, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Roku — with a free trial. Admittedly, streaming video can still be a bit of a crapshoot. Do you have the right hardware? Do you have the right service? Do you have a good enough internet connection? Will your home network hiccup? And just how good is the source video in the first place? Is it compressed to within an inch of its life? Is 4K resolution eschewed for something lesser? Streaming the World Cup in 4K resolution has been excellent, even when your team loses. It is — or at least it can be — a mess. But we've had a beacon of hope during the latter stages of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. (The men's edition, anyway; the women play in two more years.) FuboTV — one of the lesser-known but extremely sports-friendly streaming services —  is showing all of the remaining games in 4K...

Samsung forecasts dip in Q2 2018 profits following weak smartphone sales

Samsung is still making boatloads of money, but profits don't quite match up to previous quarters. Samsung announced record earnings for four straight quarters, but that streak is about to come to an end. In its Q2 2018 earnings guidance , Samsung is forecasting an operating profit of $13.2 billion (14.8 trillion won), up 5% from the same period a year ago. Overall revenue at $51.7 billion (58 trillion won) is less than the $54.8 billion the company raked in last year. To put things into context, Samsung made a profit of $14.6 billion on revenues of $56.5 billion last quarter . As noted by The Wall Street Journal , Samsung's profits over the course of the last year were bouyed by strong perfromance by the manufacturer's semiconductor division, which overtook Intel last year. Samsung may not be able to maintain its edge in this category, however, as NAND and DRAM module prices are expected to fall by up to 15%. Slow sales of the Galaxy S9 series is attributed as a r...
