This stock is a bit risky. Most analysts predict great things for SONO's profits, but a few are fearful over its two patent infringement lawsuits. Nevertheless, consensus estimates are for eps growth of over 100% in 08 and close to 70% in 09. Long term growth is estimated at 75%/year for 3 to 5 years.
