Sonos Inc. SONO, -0.10% shares rallied in the extended session Thursday after the International Trade Commission ruled that certain audio players, controllers, and components that Alphabet Inc.’s GOOG, -0.07% GOOGL, -0.02% Google sold in the U.S. violated as many as five of its patents. Sonos shares surged 6% after hours, following a 0.1% decline to close the regular session at $28.87.
