SoundHound AI (SOUN) reported a 151% year-over-year revenue increase in Q1 2025, reaching $29.1 million, driven by recent acquisitions and expansion into sectors like restaurants and enterprise AI. The stock has surged by 55% over the past three months, significantly exceeding the S&P 500’s 18.2% gain; however, it is still 49.1% below its 52-week high of $24.98, despite being 222.6% above its 52-week low of $3.94.
SoundHound’s technologies, particularly the Polaris foundation model and the Amelia 7.0 platform, are facilitating growth in voice commerce and AI solutions across various sectors. Active cloud users increased by over 50%, while AI platforms processed more than 2 billion voice queries quarterly. Nonetheless, SoundHound remains unprofitable, with a non-GAAP net loss of $22.3 million in Q1, despite management predicting full-year revenues of $157 million to $177 million.
Despite its strong growth, SoundHound faces significant competition from giants like Alphabet, Amazon, and Apple. Its stock currently trades at a forward Price-to-Sales ratio of 27.19, above the industry average, raising concerns about valuation amid ongoing operating losses. Investors are advised to monitor potential for margin improvement and adjusted earnings estimates before considering new positions.
