SoundHound AI Stock Jumps 25% on Strong Results, Raised Outlook

SoundHound AI (SOUN) shares took off, soaring 25% in morning trading, after the maker of artificial intelligence voice software reported record sales and boosted its outlook as it added more customers, especially in China.

The company reported second-quarter revenue that skyrocketed 217% year-over-year to $42.68 million, about $10 million more than analysts from Visible Alpha anticipated. Its loss of $0.03 per share narrowed from a year ago, and also beat estimates.

Co-founder and CEO Keyvan Mohajer said it was SoundHound AI’s “strongest ever quarter,” and that several of its previous strategic moves “delivered high-impact results with growth across every business unit.”

Among the gains, the Automotive business scored what the company called a “significant new win in China for our voice assistant to be integrated in a major OEM with vehicles spanning China and worldwide, including the development of multiple new languages.”

SoundHound AI raised its full-year revenue forecast to a range of $160 million to $178 million, compared to its earlier forecast of $157 million to $177 million.

Despite today’s advance, shares of SoundHound AI have lost about a third of their value in 2025.
