Sonos, Inc. (SONO - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Feb 10, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 650%.

The Santa Barbara, CA-based multi-room audio products maker is expected to have recorded higher revenues year over year. The performance has been primarily driven by its direct-to-consumer efforts and partnerships. Sonos is focused on delivering innovative products and services.

During the quarter under review, the company unveiled Sonos Radio HD, a high-definition streaming tier of its popular streaming radio service Sonos Radio. Sonos and Legrand, a global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, inked a licensing deal to cover the entire range of Legrand’s wireless audio products.

For the December quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $590 million, indicating growth of 5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share is pegged at 84 cents, which suggests a rise of 40%.
