SOUN

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for SoundHound AI, Inc. (SOUN). Shares have lost about 4.8% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500. But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is SoundHound AI due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts. SoundHound AI, Inc. delivered a strong second-quarter 2026 performance, with earnings and revenues surpassing expectations. The quarter reflected accelerating enterprise demand for voice and agentic AI, major OASYS-driven deals and improving cost discipline. Profitability strengthened year over year, with higher GAAP gross margin and narrower adjusted EBITDA and net losses. In the second quarter, SoundHound reported record revenues of $61.9 million, up 45% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $52.49 million by 17.9%. Management attributed the top-line growth to major enterprise AI deals linked to OASYS, reflecting rising adoption of the company’s voice and agentic AI offerings across industries.The company posted an adjusted loss of 2 cents per share compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 3 cents, representing a favorable surprise of 33.3%. The adjusted loss also narrowed from 3 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. On a year-over-year basis, SOUN’s profitability improved. GAAP gross profit rose 68% to $27.9 million from $16.7 million, while GAAP gross margin expanded to 45.1% from 39%, reflecting stronger growth in gross profit than revenues.Non-GAAP gross profit increased 45% to $36.2 million. Non-GAAP gross margin remained unchanged at 58.4%, indicating stable underlying profitability after excluding amortization, stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA also improved year over year, with the loss narrowing to $9.6 million from $14.3 million. Non-GAAP net loss decreased 24% to $9 million, while GAAP operating loss narrowed to $43.3 million from $78.1 million. Management highlighted rising demand across health care, financial services, telecommunications, automotive, restaurants and consumer-facing applications. In health care, SoundHound signed a seven-figure agreement with a nationally ranked system employing 30,000 people across hospitals, health parks and medical offices.The company also secured new and expanded business with health care technology, pharmacy care and electronic health record customers. Financial services renewals included a Japanese online brokerage serving more than 6 million accounts, a global asset manager, a major U.S. bank and a Canadian financial services organization. Automotive activity included a seven-figure deal with an infotainment software company in China. Stellantis increased overall unit adoption and added live generative AI capabilities, while Hyundai expanded its adoption of the technology. Restaurant wins and expansions included Ruby Tuesday, Five Guys, IHOP and Jersey Mike’s. OASYS remained central to SoundHound’s enterprise growth strategy. Management said major agreements attributed to the platform supported the quarter’s record revenues and demonstrated strong customer interest in deploying voice and agentic AI across business workflows. The company describes OASYS as a self-learning, orchestrated platform that allows organizations to build and deploy conversational agents across phones, chat, kiosks, smart devices, drive-thrus, televisions and vehicles. Its broader deployment model is intended to support transactions, tasks and customer-service workflows across digital and physical channels.SoundHound also expanded its distribution reach through a multi-year partnership in Latin America representing an initial eight-figure agreement. The arrangement covers a network spanning more than 20 countries. A partnership with a global IT services provider is expected to extend access to enterprise digital-transformation customers. As of June 30, 2026, SOUN ended the quarter with $203 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. The debt-free position preserves financial flexibility as the company continues investing in platform development and prepares for the pending LivePerson transaction. Operating cash flow weakened year over year during the first half. Net cash used in operating activities was $60 million compared with $43.7 million in the prior-year period. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $32.7 million, while financing activities provided $46.7 million.The quarter’s GAAP results included an approximately $4 million gain tied to the revaluation of contingent acquisition liabilities. This noncash item was excluded from the company’s non-GAAP performance measures. For 2026, SOUN raised its revenue outlook to $230 million to $260 million from the previous range of $225 million to $260 million. The revision followed the company’s strong second-quarter performance and reflected continued demand for OASYS and its broader voice and agentic AI portfolio. The outlook does not yet contemplate the pending acquisition of LivePerson. SoundHound expects the transaction to close before the end of 2026 and plans to update its guidance after the deal is completed. Analysts were quiet during the last two month period as none of them issued any earnings estimate revisions. The consensus estimate has shifted 7.89% due to these changes. At this time, SoundHound AI has a subpar Growth Score of D, however its Momentum Score is doing a lot better with a B. However, the stock was allocated a score of F on the value side, putting it in the bottom 20% quintile for this investment strategy. Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in. SoundHound AI has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

DXC Technology is expected to post earnings of $0.57 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -32.1%.

SoundHound AI’s second quarter results were marked by substantial year-on-year revenue growth and a reduction in non-GAAP losses, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations. Management attributed the strong performance to rapid adoption of the OASYS agentic AI platform, which has accelerated deal cycles and customer onboarding. CEO Keyvan Mohajer described OASYS as “the most intuitive and easiest to navigate” among competing solutions, highlighting that the technology’s ability to automate agent creation and deployment led to higher win rates and faster implementation, especially in complex enterprise settings.

Revenue: $61.9 million vs analyst estimates of $52.41 million (45% year-on-year growth, 18.1% beat) Adjusted EPS: -$0.02 vs analyst estimates of -$0.05 (63% beat) Operating Margin: -70%, up from -183% in the same quarter last year Billings: $55.53 million at quarter end, up 45.7% year on year Market Capitalization: $3.29 billion While we enjoy listening to the management’s commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls is the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Thomas Blakey (Cantor Fitzgerald) asked about the integration of acquired technologies like Amelia and Interactions into OASYS and how this may translate to opportunities with LivePerson’s customer base. CEO Keyvan Mohajer explained that OASYS is designed to rapidly integrate and upgrade legacy customers, reducing time-to-value and lowering implementation costs. Blakey (Cantor Fitzgerald) followed up on the recurring nature and scale of large deals in the pipeline. Mohajer noted that while some large deals may not be strictly recurring, the company consistently secures sizable contracts each quarter, signaling a robust and growing pipeline. Gil Luria (D.A. Davidson) inquired about the composition of the recent eight-figure deal and whether it reflects a shift toward larger, multi-country channel partnerships. Mohajer confirmed the deal was a channel commitment involving rollout across 20 countries, with potential for further expansion. Luria (D.A. Davidson) also asked about guidance scenarios with and without the LivePerson acquisition. Mohajer clarified that current guidance excludes LivePerson until the deal closes, but reiterated the expectation for increased scale and revenue once integrated. Vijay Devar (Northland Capital Markets) questioned the main technology benefits and cross-sell opportunities from the LivePerson deal. Mohajer cited complementary product offerings, the potential for rapid upgrade of LivePerson customers to OASYS, and the ability to offer voice solutions where LivePerson previously focused on chat. Looking forward, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the pace and effectiveness of integrating LivePerson’s customer base onto the OASYS platform, (2) further expansion in healthcare and automotive verticals, particularly in Asia and among Fortune 100 brands, and (3) the rollout and monetization of new voice commerce capabilities in vehicles and home electronics. Sustained execution on proprietary model development and customer migration will also be key indicators for future performance.

SOUN has fallen 55% over 12 months despite Q2 revenue beating consensus by 45%, as investors penalize cash burn and dilution risk. Peers CRNC and AI both declined sharply over 12 months but neither matches SOUN's 70% consensus upside or H.C. Wainwright's $20 Street-high target. It sounds nuts, but SoFi1 is giving new Active Invest users up to $3,000 in stock for a limited time, and all it takes is a $50 deposit to get started.2 See for yourself (Sponsor) SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) currently trades at $7.48, while the average Wall Street price target sits at $12.71, an implied gap of 69.92% between current price and analyst consensus. SoundHound builds independent voice and agentic AI software deployed across automotive, healthcare, restaurants, and financial services. Wall Street is watching because the top line compounds fast while losses narrow, and the pending LivePerson acquisition could reshape the revenue base heading into 2027. One prominent analyst carries the Street-high target of $20, implying roughly 167% upside from here. SoundHound has lost 54.67% over the past year. Shares traded as high as $22.17 in the last 52 weeks before drifting toward single digits. The selloff came despite strong results. Q2 FY2026 revenue of $61.9 million came in 45.02% ahead of the prior year and beat the $52.4 million consensus. Investors punished the story for cash burn and dilution risk: cash slipped from $248.5M to $202.8M over six months, stock-based comp ran at $21.5M in the quarter, and contingent acquisition liabilities of $83.6M loom over the share count. The pain was company-specific. The S&P 500 rose 20.62% over the same 12-month window while SOUN lost more than half its value. SoFi Active Invest is offering a limited-time promotion.

(Sponsor) Analysts have refused to blink because the operating story keeps beating models. Of the analysts tracked, six rate SOUN a Buy and two rate it Hold, with no Sell ratings. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance was raised to $230 million to $260 million, and combined 2027 revenue with LivePerson is projected at $350 million to $400 million minimum. H.C. Wainwright's bull case sits at the top of the range. The firm highlights rapid drive-thru monetization at Church's Texas Chicken, Torchy's Tacos, and White Castle, expansion into Vision AI and the Agentic+ platform, and cross-selling voice into the Amelia and LivePerson customer bases. Operational leverage is expected to push SoundHound toward adjusted EBITDA break-even by late 2026 or 2027, backed by a debt-free balance sheet. CEO Keyvan Mohajer told investors that "our pipeline has never been this big, and our win rate has never been this good," citing an eight-figure commitment signed in less than 90 days from demo to contract. With Gartner projecting agentic AI software spending near $1 trillion by 2030, the analyst view is that SoundHound is early in a category it helped define. Recent revisions have leaned reiteration and upgrade, not downgrade. The broader enterprise and voice AI cohort is soft, but SOUN's 12-month drop is the steepest of the closest comparables. Cerence (NASDAQ:CRNC), the closest voice-in-vehicle competitor, trades at $8.61 against a consensus target of $10.75, roughly 25% upside. It has fallen 36.32% over the past year. The rating slate skews Hold at one Buy and four Holds. C3.ai (NYSE:AI) sits at $10.18 with a consensus target of $8.82, meaning analysts collectively see downside from here. Shares are off 45.27% over 12 months, and the rating mix is bearish at one Buy, seven Holds, three Sells, and three Strong Sells following downgrades tied to restructuring under returning CEO Tom Siebel. BigBear.ai (NYSE:BBAI) trades at $3.34 with a consensus target of $4.00, about 20% upside. The stock is down 42.51% on the year, with one Buy and two Holds and no meaningful upgrade momentum. The largest analyst-implied upside across the group belongs to SoundHound at 69.92% on consensus, and 167% on the Street-high case. SOUN trades at $7.48 with an average analyst target of $12.71, implying 69.92% upside. Coverage is concentrated among eight analysts, with six Buy ratings and two Hold, and no Sells. Year to date, SOUN is off 24.97%, while the S&P 500 is up 14.07%. Recent trading has been firmer, with the stock up 11.81% over the past month following the Q2 report. Reddit sentiment around the earnings release ran very bullish at 82, and insider activity is net buying with 17 recent transactions. The bull case strengthens if the LivePerson deal closes cleanly and combined 2027 revenue arrives at the $350 million to $400 million range with gross margin marching back toward the 70% level the CFO explicitly targets. The path to consensus $12.71 runs through EBITDA break-even, continued 40%-plus revenue growth, and OASIS wins that convert eight-figure demos into signed contracts. Scott Buck's $20 target stops looking like a stretch if that happens. The bear case takes hold if cash burn chews through the $202.8 million war chest faster than losses narrow, if $21.5 million quarterly stock comp turns growth into permanent dilution, or if LivePerson integration surfaces execution risk. A high beta of 2.83 means the round trip could hurt. The peer group offers less upside on worse fundamentals, the consensus gap is real, and the operating trajectory is trending the right way. This is a high-volatility bet on execution rather than a safe compounder, and position sizing matters more than conviction here. Looking to grow your money but unsure where to begin?

SoundHound AI, Inc. SOUN has given Wall Street fresh reasons to become more positive after a record second quarter, highlighted by faster revenue growth, improving margins and strong adoption of its OASYS platform. The better-than-expected performance has led to upward estimate revisions, strengthening the investment case even as the stock remains sharply down in 2026. Over the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for SoundHound’s 2026 loss has narrowed to 14 cents per share from 15 cents, while the estimated 2027 loss has narrowed to 15 cents from 17 cents. The consensus estimate calls for 2026 revenues to rise 41% from the 2025 level, followed by another 14.6% increase in 2027. However, the expected 2026 loss remains wider than the loss of 13 cents per share reported in the previous year. SOUN Estimate Revision Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The bullish brokerage view is also notable. Of the eight recommendations making up the current Average Brokerage Recommendation, five are Strong Buy, accounting for 62.5% of the total. The average Wall Street price target implies 62.2% upside from the latest closing price. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research SoundHound delivered second-quarter revenues of $61.9 million, up 45% year over year and 40% sequentially. The quarter marked the company's highest revenue to date. Non-GAAP loss was 2 cents per share compared with 3 cents a year earlier. GAAP gross margin expanded to 45.1% from 39%, while adjusted EBITDA loss improved 33% to $9.6 million from $14.3 million.The quarter's strength was broad-based rather than dependent on one market. Management said growth came from healthcare, financial services, technology and automotive, while enterprise AI remained the largest contributor to revenues. SoundHound also continued to expand its automotive presence in Asia.Strong second-quarter execution prompted management to raise its 2026 revenue outlook to $230-$260 million. The guidance does not yet incorporate the planned LivePerson acquisition, and SoundHound intends to update its outlook when that transaction closes. OASYS is becoming central to SoundHound's growth story. Management attributed a significant part of the second quarter's stronger-than-expected performance to the self-learning agentic AI platform, which was launched in May. The company said it is seeing strong results across demos, RFPs, pilots and production deployments. One eight-figure commitment moved from initial demonstration to contract signing in less than 90 days, highlighting the potential for OASYS to shorten sales cycles.The platform also gives SoundHound a way to expand within existing customers. OASYS allows businesses to deploy AI agents across phones, vehicles, restaurants, retail locations and other channels rather than building separate solutions for each channel. A top-20 healthcare provider quadrupled its spending with SoundHound during the second quarter, while the company expanded or renewed relationships with several other healthcare and financial-services customers.SoundHound's proprietary technology could support margins over time as well. The company is investing in its Polaris speech foundation model, specialized LLMs and speech synthesis. Its smaller-business customers are already operating entirely on SoundHound's own stack, and management believes greater use of proprietary models can reduce costs while improving accuracy, latency and control. SoundHound is increasingly diversified beyond its traditional automotive business. During the second quarter, it added and expanded customers across healthcare, financial services, restaurants, automotive and consumer devices. Restaurant adoption was particularly encouraging, with technology expanding across Five Guys, IHOP and Jersey Mike's, while a major pizza brand had SoundHound deployed in more than 75% of its locations. The company also signed an initial eight-figure multiyear partnership covering more than 20 countries in Latin America.Voice Commerce offers another potential growth channel. SoundHound plans to pilot direct in-vehicle transactions and is working to bring agentic transactions to connected devices. If these initiatives scale, the company could move beyond software fees and participate more directly in transaction-based opportunities.The planned LivePerson acquisition could further expand SoundHound's enterprise footprint. Management expects the transaction to add relationships with 25 Fortune 100 companies and believes OASYS can provide a common platform for integrating acquired technologies. Despite the operating progress, SoundHound has not yet reached profitability. Second-quarter GAAP net loss was $42.8 million, while the non-GAAP net loss totaled $9 million. For the first six months of 2026, operating activities used nearly $60 million of cash, up from $43.7 million in the year-ago period. The company nevertheless ended June with about $203 million in cash and no debt, providing financial flexibility while it continues investing in growth.The acquisition strategy adds another layer of execution risk. Integrating LivePerson while continuing to migrate customers from previously acquired businesses onto OASYS will require careful execution. Management acknowledged that legacy customers will move to OASYS at different speeds rather than through a rapid forced migration.Valuation also leaves little room for major execution setbacks. SOUN trades at 12.34X forward 12-month sales, slightly above the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry's 12.23X. Investors are therefore paying a premium for growth despite continued losses and cash use. SOUN’s P/S Ratio (Forward 12-Month) vs. Industry Image Source: Zacks Investment Research SoundHound shares are down 25.6% year to date, underperforming the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry's 14.3% decline. The gap is much wider against the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector, which has gained 16.9%, and the S&P 500's 12.5% advance. SOUN’s YTD Price Performance Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The weak share-price performance suggests that investors remain cautious about profitability, valuation and execution. However, the combination of stronger second-quarter results, raised revenue guidance and improving earnings estimates gives the stock a stronger fundamental base than its year-to-date performance implies. SoundHound faces different competitors across its expanding AI markets. Cerence CRNC competes directly in automotive voice AI, conversational assistants and in-car AI solutions, while Five9 FIVN competes in cloud contact centers, voice bots and customer engagement automation. NICE NICE also competes in enterprise conversational AI, contact center automation and AI-powered customer service.SoundHound's 25.6% year-to-date (YTD) plunge trails Cerence's 19.1% dip and NICE's 12.8% decline, while Five9 has surged 55.6%. Valuation makes the difference even sharper. SoundHound's 12.34X forward sales multiple is far above Cerence at 1.26X, Five9 at 1.78X and NICE at 1.71X.That premium means SoundHound must deliver much faster growth to justify its valuation. Cerence remains an important automotive benchmark, while Five9 and NICE bring established enterprise customer bases. SoundHound's advantage rests on OASYS, its proprietary voice technology and its ability to connect enterprise, automotive and physical AI experiences on one platform. SoundHound's investment case has strengthened following the second quarter. Record revenues, accelerating OASYS adoption, improving margins, a higher 2026 revenue outlook and favorable estimate revisions all point toward better operating momentum. The expansion across healthcare, financial services, restaurants, automotive and Voice Commerce also reduces reliance on any single end market.Risks remain meaningful. SoundHound is still losing money and burning cash, the LivePerson deal introduces integration risk, and its valuation carries a sizable premium to Cerence, Five9 and NICE. The stock's 25.6% YTD decline shows that investors continue to demand proof that rapid revenue growth can eventually translate into sustainable profits.Still, upward estimate revisions following a strong second quarter improve the risk-reward setup. With SoundHound currently carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), investors willing to accept higher volatility and execution risk can consider the stock for its long-term exposure to conversational and agentic AI growth.

SoundHound AI, Inc. SOUN used its second-quarter 2026 call to emphasize accelerating enterprise adoption of OASYS, stronger deal conversion and a raised full-year revenue outlook. Management also highlighted improving profitability measures despite continued investment. The quarter produced $61.9 million in revenues, up 45% year over year, versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $52.49 million. Non-GAAP loss per share was 2 cents, compared with the consensus loss estimate of 3 cents. SoundHound AI, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | SoundHound AI, Inc. Quote Interim CFO and co-founder James Hom raised 2026 revenue expectations to $230 million to $260 million after the strong first half. The outlook excludes the pending LivePerson acquisition. Hom said SoundHound intends to remain aggressive in capturing market share through existing-customer expansion, new customer wins and targeted investments in channels and OASYS. CEO and co-founder Keyvan Mohajer said management expects to update guidance after LivePerson closes, which the company continues to expect before year-end. Mohajer described OASYS as a major contributor to second-quarter performance. He said SoundHound is moving prospects from demonstrations to signed contracts in months and converting pilots to larger deployments at a record pace. In response to a Cantor Fitzgerald analyst, Mohajer said the company’s pipeline and win rate have never been stronger. He pointed to wins in demonstrations, RFPs and pilots as evidence of OASYS traction. He also detailed OASYS’ “AI builds AI” capability, which can reduce complex agent-development work from months to minutes and support automated improvement after deployment. Hom said enterprise AI remained SoundHound’s largest revenue contributor, with growth spanning healthcare, financial services, technology and automotive. Healthcare generated seven deals, including one seven-figure agreement. Mohajer highlighted continued momentum in Asia, where SoundHound has signed major deals for five consecutive quarters. The company landed a seven-figure China automotive infotainment deal and expanded generative AI deployments with Stellantis and Hyundai. Restaurants also remained an expansion area. Mohajer said renewal rates reached 100% for key accounts, while Smart Answering more than doubled year over year and several major restaurant chains expanded location coverage. Hom said GAAP gross margin reached 45.1%, up 6.1 percentage points year over year, while non-GAAP gross margin was 58.4%. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved 33% to $9.6 million. Management attributed efficiencies to infrastructure modernization, cloud optimization, legacy-system consolidation and increased use of in-house technology. Hom said the company still expects gross margin to exceed 70% over time. Mohajer added that smaller customers now run entirely on SoundHound’s own stack, while one large healthcare customer is preparing to switch. He tied the model strategy to lower costs, higher quality and greater control. A D.A. Davidson analyst asked how guidance changes under a LivePerson closing scenario. Mohajer reiterated that current 2026 guidance excludes the acquisition and that timing uncertainty prevents a precise contribution estimate. A Northland Capital Markets analyst asked about 2027 expectations. Mohajer maintained the previously discussed $350 million to $400 million range, assuming the merger closes successfully in the second half of 2026. Mohajer also identified two key integration opportunities: upgrading LivePerson customers to OASYS and adding voice capabilities to LivePerson’s digital customer-service base. He said regulatory clearances have been secured. Management’s tone centered on expanding enterprise adoption while maintaining cost discipline. Hom said SoundHound plans to keep investing in technology and go-to-market capacity as it works toward profitable growth. Mohajer emphasized OASYS, proprietary models, channel partnerships and acquisitions as the company’s main scaling levers. He also pointed to upcoming Voice Commerce projects in vehicles and televisions as additional use cases. The call left management focused on converting a larger pipeline, broadening deployments within existing accounts and preparing for LivePerson integration without including the acquisition in current-year guidance. SOUN currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Its Value Score is F, Growth Score is D, Momentum Score is F and VGM Score is F, leaving the shares without the stronger A or B style characteristics emphasized in the Zacks framework. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Keyvan Mohajer said the quarter was the company’s largest to date, with improvements in gross margin, adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share both year over year and sequentially. He attributed a significant portion of the performance to OASYS, the self-learning agentic AI platform SoundHound launched publicly in May. → SpaceX’s First Earnings Report Could Decide Whether Shorts or Bulls Have Control Investors Abandoned These 3 AI Stocks Too Early, Says Jeff Clark “Our results were beyond our own expectations,” Mohajer said, adding that OASYS has helped the company win demonstrations, requests for proposals, pilots and production deployments. He said SoundHound recently signed an eight-figure commitment less than 90 days after an initial demonstration. Chief Financial Officer and Co-Founder James Hom said growth was broad-based, led by enterprise AI and supported by healthcare, financial services, technology and automotive. SoundHound’s enterprise AI business remained its largest revenue contributor, while its automotive operations in Asia posted substantial growth for a fifth consecutive quarter, according to Hom. Revenue totaled $61.9 million, up 45% year over year. GAAP gross margin was 45%, up six percentage points from the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin was 58%, flat year over year and up eight percentage points sequentially. GAAP operating loss was $43.3 million, an improvement of 45% from a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $9.6 million, improving 33% year over year. GAAP net loss was $42.8 million, or $0.10 per share. Non-GAAP net loss was $9 million, or $0.02 per share.

Hom said the company has been working to improve efficiency through infrastructure modernization, cloud-spending optimization, legacy-system consolidation, adoption of in-house technology and acquisition synergies. Acquisitions have temporarily weighed on gross margin, he said, but the company expects margins to exceed 70% in the future, similar to levels when it became public. SoundHound raised its full-year revenue outlook to a range of $230 million to $260 million, reflecting its first-half performance and continuing demand. The outlook does not include the planned acquisition of LivePerson because the timing of the transaction’s closing remains uncertain. → Meta’s Earnings Drop Shows Wall Street Wants More Than Ad Growth Mohajer said OASYS is designed to enable companies to build and deploy AI agents across channels rather than tying customer interactions to a specific platform or modality. The platform’s “AI Builds AI” feature can create and refine agentic workflows using documents, application programming interfaces and prior interaction data, he said. During the question-and-answer session, Mohajer said implementations that previously required months of work and large professional-services teams can now be completed in minutes in some cases. The system can also identify missing information or capabilities after deployment and propose enhancements for human approval, he said. The company cited healthcare as an area of particular traction. Mohajer said one top-20 healthcare provider quadrupled its spending during the quarter, while SoundHound added Champion Payer Solutions and either renewed or expanded relationships with five additional healthcare organizations. Hom said the company signed seven healthcare deals during the quarter, including one seven-figure agreement. In financial services, SoundHound said it renewed or expanded contracts with two of the world’s seven largest banking institutions and one large global insurer. The company also cited new and expanded business with organizations including Rakuten Securities, a global asset-management firm and a Canadian-headquartered financial-services company. In restaurants, the company said its Smart Answering offering for small and midsize businesses more than doubled year over year. It signed three major U.S. restaurant chains during the quarter and reported 100% renewal rates among key restaurant accounts. Mohajer said restaurant deployments are also creating cross-selling opportunities for IT help desk and guest-relations services through OASYS. SoundHound continued to expand in Asia, particularly in China’s automotive market. The company signed a seven-figure agreement with a large infotainment software company for agentic AI solutions and an IoT agreement with an automotive maintenance and diagnostics company. It also signed a six-figure unit expansion with Indian two-wheeler company Ultraviolette and reached an agreement with another OEM to deploy real-time generative AI features in vehicles in India. Elsewhere, SoundHound said Stellantis expanded unit adoption in Europe and added live generative AI capabilities, while Hyundai is adding generative AI enhancements in the U.S., Latin America and India. The company also outlined upcoming voice-commerce initiatives. In the third quarter, it plans to begin piloting direct in-vehicle transactions with an unnamed automotive brand through a recently signed contract. Later this year, it expects to launch with a global electronics manufacturer that will use its technology to enable retail and restaurant purchases through television screens in U.S. homes. Mohajer said SoundHound is investing in its proprietary Polaris speech foundation model, specialized large language models and speech-synthesis technology. Smaller customers are now operating entirely on SoundHound’s own technology stack, he said, and the company is preparing to deploy the stack with one of its largest healthcare customers after seeing improvements in accuracy and latency. SoundHound said it has received key regulatory clearances for its planned acquisition of LivePerson and continues to expect the deal to close before year-end. Mohajer said the transaction would broaden the company’s conversational AI footprint to include 25 Fortune 100 brands and expand its enterprise customer base. Management said its prior outlook of at least $350 million to $400 million in revenue next year remains unchanged, assuming the LivePerson transaction closes in the second half of 2026. The company did not provide a separate estimate for LivePerson’s contribution this year. Mohajer said LivePerson’s digital customer-service offerings would complement SoundHound’s voice capabilities. He described opportunities to upgrade LivePerson customers to OASYS and to offer voice services to customers that have historically used LivePerson primarily for web chat and digital interactions. “All the new customers we expect will utilize OASYS,” Mohajer said, while noting that existing customers will transition from legacy platforms at a pace with which they are comfortable.

SoundHound AI, Inc. SOUN delivered a strong second-quarter 2026 performance, with earnings and revenues surpassing expectations. The quarter reflected accelerating enterprise demand for voice and agentic AI, major OASYS-driven deals and improving cost discipline. Profitability strengthened year over year, with higher GAAP gross margin and narrower adjusted EBITDA and net losses.Following the results, the company’s shares gained around 23.3% in the after-hours trading session yesterday. The increase was likely supported by the sizable revenue beat, better profitability metrics, strong enterprise deal momentum and the raised full-year revenue outlook. In the second quarter, SoundHound reported record revenues of $61.9 million, up 45% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $52.49 million by 17.9%. Management attributed the top-line growth to major enterprise AI deals linked to OASYS, reflecting rising adoption of the company’s voice and agentic AI offerings across industries. SoundHound AI, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | SoundHound AI, Inc. Quote The company posted an adjusted loss of 2 cents per share compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 3 cents, representing a favorable surprise of 33.3%. The adjusted loss also narrowed from 3 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. On a year-over-year basis, SOUN’s profitability improved. GAAP gross profit rose 68% to $27.9 million from $16.7 million, while GAAP gross margin expanded to 45.1% from 39%, reflecting stronger growth in gross profit than revenues.Non-GAAP gross profit increased 45% to $36.2 million. Non-GAAP gross margin remained unchanged at 58.4%, indicating stable underlying profitability after excluding amortization, stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses.Adjusted EBITDA also improved year over year, with the loss narrowing to $9.6 million from $14.3 million. Non-GAAP net loss decreased 24% to $9 million, while GAAP operating loss narrowed to $43.3 million from $78.1 million. Management highlighted rising demand across health care, financial services, telecommunications, automotive, restaurants and consumer-facing applications. In health care, SoundHound signed a seven-figure agreement with a nationally ranked system employing 30,000 people across hospitals, health parks and medical offices.The company also secured new and expanded business with health care technology, pharmacy care and electronic health record customers. Financial services renewals included a Japanese online brokerage serving more than 6 million accounts, a global asset manager, a major U.S. bank and a Canadian financial services organization.Automotive activity included a seven-figure deal with an infotainment software company in China. Stellantis increased overall unit adoption and added live generative AI capabilities, while Hyundai expanded its adoption of the technology. Restaurant wins and expansions included Ruby Tuesday, Five Guys, IHOP and Jersey Mike’s. OASYS remained central to SoundHound’s enterprise growth strategy. Management said major agreements attributed to the platform supported the quarter’s record revenues and demonstrated strong customer interest in deploying voice and agentic AI across business workflows.The company describes OASYS as a self-learning, orchestrated platform that allows organizations to build and deploy conversational agents across phones, chat, kiosks, smart devices, drive-thrus, televisions and vehicles. Its broader deployment model is intended to support transactions, tasks and customer-service workflows across digital and physical channels.SoundHound also expanded its distribution reach through a multi-year partnership in Latin America representing an initial eight-figure agreement. The arrangement covers a network spanning more than 20 countries. A partnership with a global IT services provider is expected to extend access to enterprise digital-transformation customers. As of June 30, 2026, SOUN ended the quarter with $203 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. The debt-free position preserves financial flexibility as the company continues investing in platform development and prepares for the pending LivePerson transaction.Operating cash flow weakened year over year during the first half. Net cash used in operating activities was $60 million compared with $43.7 million in the prior-year period. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $32.7 million, while financing activities provided $46.7 million.The quarter’s GAAP results included an approximately $4 million gain tied to the revaluation of contingent acquisition liabilities. This noncash item was excluded from the company’s non-GAAP performance measures. For 2026, SOUN raised its revenue outlook to $230 million to $260 million from the previous range of $225 million to $260 million. The revision followed the company’s strong second-quarter performance and reflected continued demand for OASYS and its broader voice and agentic AI portfolio.The outlook does not yet contemplate the pending acquisition of LivePerson. SoundHound expects the transaction to close before the end of 2026 and plans to update its guidance after the deal is completed.

SoundHound AI, Inc. SOUN is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 5, 2026, after market close.In the last reported quarter, SoundHound delivered a mixed performance, with earnings missing expectations by 20% even as revenue came in ahead of estimates by 3.5%. Yet, SoundHound reported record revenues of $44.2 million, up 52% year over year. The company posted a loss of 6 cents per share, the same as a year ago. The quarter reflected strong demand across enterprise and automotive use cases, continued customer diversification and steady deal momentum, while profitability was weighed down by higher operating costs tied to acquisitions and certain nonrecurring items, including vendor-related true-ups and other acquisition-linked expenses.This maker of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for computer interpretation of voice commands surpassed earnings estimates in two of the trailing four quarters, missed in one and met on the other occasion. You can see the historical figures in the chart below. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter bottom line has remained unchanged at a loss of 3 cents per share over the past 60 days. The estimate figure is the same as the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $52.5 million, suggesting a 23% year-over-year increase.For 2026, SOUN is expected to register a 38% increase from a year ago in revenues to $233.2 million.

Revenue Growth to be Driven by Enterprise Expansion: Second-quarter revenues are expected to have benefited from continued adoption of SoundHound's AI solutions across financial services, automotive, healthcare, restaurants, retail, telecommunications and other enterprise verticals. Management indicated that customer demand remains robust, supported by an expanding sales pipeline and broader deployment of AI solutions across existing accounts. Continued growth in automotive voice assistants, voice commerce and enterprise AI services should remain the primary drivers during the quarter. The company also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $225-$260 million, signaling confidence in sustained business momentum through the remainder of the year.Product Innovation and Customer Wins to Support Growth: SoundHound entered the quarter with several strategic growth catalysts. The launch of OASYS, its self-learning agentic AI platform, is expected to have accelerated enterprise adoption by enabling customers to deploy and continuously improve AI agents across voice, chat, kiosks, vehicles and other digital channels. Management also highlighted growing adoption of Voice Commerce, Voice Insights and enterprise AI solutions, alongside new customer wins and expansions across automotive, financial services, restaurants, healthcare, utilities and technology markets. The pending acquisition of LivePerson, expected to close in the second half of 2026, is not expected to materially contribute to second-quarter revenues but remains an important strategic initiative that should significantly expand SoundHound's enterprise customer base and omnichannel AI capabilities over time.Margin Outlook Reflects Continued AI Investment: Margins are likely to remain influenced by continued investments in proprietary AI models, OASYS development and platform expansion. Management has emphasized that these investments are intended to reduce long-term inference costs by increasing reliance on internally developed AI models rather than third-party frontier models. At the same time, ongoing integration efforts and operating leverage from higher enterprise usage are expected to gradually support profitability over the longer term. SOUN shares have lost 38.5% year to date (YTD), lagging the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry, the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector and the S&P 500 Index, as shown below. SOUN Stock’s Performance (YTD) Image Source: Zacks Investment Research SoundHound competes with C3.ai AI, Five9 FIVN and NICE Ltd. NICE in the rapidly expanding enterprise conversational AI, customer experience automation and agentic AI markets. So far this year, Five9 has significantly outperformed the group with a 37.2% gain, reflecting investor confidence in accelerating AI adoption across cloud contact centers.In contrast, C3.ai has plunged 38.5% amid continued concerns over execution and valuation, while NICE has lost 12.6% despite maintaining a strong leadership position in AI-powered customer engagement software. SoundHound differentiates itself through its proprietary voice AI technology, growing automotive and enterprise customer base, expanding omnichannel capabilities and the planned acquisition of LivePerson, which is expected to strengthen its presence in digital messaging and customer service AI. As the company scales its OASYS agentic AI platform and broadens its enterprise footprint, its execution will increasingly be evaluated against these established AI software and customer experience leaders. SOUN shares are currently trading at a slight discount to the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry. Based on the forward 12-month price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, SoundHound trades at 10.41X, below the industry average of 11.18X, as shown below. Among its closest peers, C3.ai trades at 6.30X, while Five9 and NICE are valued at 1.58X and 1.72X, respectively. Although SoundHound commands a premium to these peers, its valuation reflects investor expectations for sustained growth in voice AI, enterprise adoption and agentic AI, while remaining modestly below the broader industry average. SOUN’s P/S Ratio (Forward 12-Month) vs. Industry Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Despite strong long-term growth opportunities in enterprise AI, expanding customer adoption and continued product innovation, SoundHound faces near-term uncertainty heading into its second-quarter results. The consensus estimate points to another quarterly loss, and continued investments in AI platforms may keep margins under pressure. While the stock's valuation remains reasonable relative to the industry, investors may be better served holding SOUN until greater clarity emerges on execution, profitability and the upcoming earnings report.

SoundHound AI Inc (NASDAQ:SOUN) is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on Aug. 5. The company is in dire need of a positive update. Since the start of 2026, SoundHound AI shares have lost more than 40% of their value. And yet Wall Street analysts remains remarkable bullish on the artificial intelligence stock. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue » Four analysts actively cover SoundHound AI, all of whom rate the stock a “buy.” Their average price target is $12.75, suggesting more than 100% upside over the next 12 months. The most bullish analyst is Thomas Blakely of Cantor Fitzgerald. He has a $15 price target — one he reaffirmed on May 8, when the stock hovered near $9 per share. SoundHound AI stock has lost around 30% since then, but Blakely apparently remains as bullish as ever. In the past, Blakely has been particularly excited about SoundHound AI’s ability to cross-sell its expand product portfolio to existing customers. "SoundHound AI has executed very well, in our view, cross-selling and upselling voice and conversational AI services to its installed base, as well as expanding fully automated voice volumes related to its acquisition of (enterprise AI company) Amelia in late summer 2024," he detailed in a recent note to investors. Indeed, SoundHound AI’s latest investor presentation heavily references the company’s ability to sell compatible solutions to customers across a wide range of verticals. But is SoundHound AI actually making progress on this front? There are two major numbers I’ll be monitoring during the upcoming earnings release to gauge the company’s success (or lack thereof). Wall Street remains bullish on SoundHound AI largely because analysts believe the company can accelerate the cross-selling of products to existing customers. This would not only accelerate sales growth beyond simply acquiring new customers but also boost margins, as selling to existing customers usually doesn’t involve the high costs of acquiring new customers. Given this, the two numbers I’ll be tracking closely are revenue growth and net margins. Image source: Getty Images For 2026, SoundHound AI is guiding for revenue of $225 million to $260 million. If realized, that would imply a year-over-year growth rate between 33% to 54%. On average, analysts are predicting growth of just 37.4%. Next year, sales growth is expected to be just 16.9%. If the pace of cross-selling is successful, we could easily see SoundHound AI beat these estimates, likely resulting in upside to today’s stock price. Margins should prove just as critical as sales growth. Analysts expect a $0.13 loss per share this year. In 2027, a $0.18 per share loss is expected. SoundHound AI has ramped up its acquisition activity recently, including a $43 million deal to acquire LivePerson. That deal is expected to close by the end of the year. While these acquisitions enhance SoundHound AI’s cross-selling potential, they will also increase operational costs, adding more pressure on margins. SoundHound AI continues to grow sales at an impressive pace. But profitability remains elusive. While I don’t expect the company to reach profitability in 2026 or 2027, improved margins would go a long way in regaining the market’s confidence. A lower share price increases the dilutive pressure of future capital raises. As simple as it sounds, SoundHound AI’s quarterly earnings report will be headlined by top-line sales growth and the trajectory of its path towards profitability. Expect shares to react positively or negatively based on what’s revealed later this week.
