SoundHound AI Inc (SOUN) stock plummeted 5.17% in the pre-market session on Wednesday, underperforming the broader market. The decline comes as analysts express concerns over the company's lack of profitability and high valuation despite strong revenue growth.
According to the company's latest earnings report, SoundHound AI's third-quarter revenue surged 89% year-over-year to $25.1 million, driven by growing demand for its voice AI solutions. However, the company's operating losses also spiked 132% to $33.7 million, raising doubts about its ability to achieve profitability in the near future.
While SoundHound AI has established partnerships with major automakers like Stellantis and Hyundai Motor, analysts warn that the company faces stiff competition in the speech recognition technology space. With no clear economic moat, the company may struggle to fend off rivals synergizing similar technologies with generative AI.
