Chris Hill: [MUSIC] We’ve got an inside look at the gaming industry and why more consolidation is on the way. Motley Fool Money starts now. I’m Chris Hill. Joining me today, Motley Fool Senior Analyst, Asit Sharma. Thanks for being here. Asit Sharma: Chris, thank you for having me. Chris Hill: Sonos like most companies, is talking about the impact of supply chain problems, but Sonos’, second-quarter revenue was higher-than-expected. The demand for high-end audio products seemingly is there. This morning you and I were going back and forth. You said this is a company that you think is underrated. How so? Asit Sharma: I think that investors have been trained to look for companies that are really really capital-light over the last few years. If you can avoid investing in a manufacturer, do it. Find the equivalent software-as-a-service model, invest in that. It’s going to have higher margins. It’s a company you will be able to ride for long-term growth.

Do you look at movement like this as enough investors saying, OK we get it. Maybe it was overvalued before. Maybe it was overrated before but this is a business making things that some not insignificant number of people want. So we’re going to build this one up. Asit Sharma: I see that, I mean, this is a company that would’ve increased its top-line even more as you mentioned if not for constraints, the demand is there. They’re just trying to supply as much product as they can. They’ve run into supply issues in China as almost every other manufacturer has but it’s also a company that has a phenomenal brand. If you look at charts of home installers, professional equipment installers, favorite choice for audio equipment for new homes. It’s Sonos by a mile and that beats […]
