Our Stock of the Week is SoundHound AI (SOUN), a software company specializing in conversational intelligence and voice artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. It offers an independent voice AI platform that enables businesses to deliver advanced, human-like interactions through speech and sound recognition technologies. The company’s core offerings include voice recognition, natural language understanding, sound recognition, and generative AI integration to automate conversational experiences, such as voice assistants and agents. These solutions are applied across industries like automotive (e.g., in-car voice controls), restaurants (e.g., drive-thru ordering), retail, finance, TV, IoT devices, and customer service. SoundHound’s technology powers voice AI agents that handle complex queries and tasks, making it a key player in the growing agentic AI market.
On October 2, 2025, SoundHound was named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape report for Worldwide General-Purpose Conversational AI Platforms 2025, highlighting its innovative voice AI capabilities. This news contributed to a 9.1% stock surge shortly after the announcement.
In its Q2 2025 earnings, SoundHound reported 217% year-over-year revenue growth, prompting management to raise its full-year 2025 guidance. This performance has fueled optimism, with the stock up 230% over the past 12 months and 144% in the last six months. SoundHound’s expansion includes a Jeep rollout for in-vehicle voice AI.
Technically, the stock broke out on August 8 following strong guidance. The stock pulled back to support, made a new high, and after a dip, it is testing those highs again.
As always, we will not chase the stock on Monday morning but will look to trade it aggressively on volatility.
