Stock Recommendation: The stock of SONO has provided a return of 52.32% in the last one month and recently touched its 52-weeks high price of $23.08.

We have valued the stock using an EV/Sales multiple based illustrative relative valuation method and have arrived at a target price with a correction of low single-digit (in % terms). For the purpose, we have taken peers like Universal Electronics Inc (NASDAQ: UEIC), Zagg Inc (NASDAQ: ZAGG), Turtle Beach Corp (NASDAQ: HEAR), etc. Considering the spike in the stock price in the last one month, current trading levels and valuation, we are of the view that most of the positive factors of the company have been discounted at current trading levels.
