The company powers voices you may have communicated with in your car, at a restaurant, or when making an appointment. As Soundhound has grown its number of customers and expanded across industries, revenue has surged quarter after quarter.<\/p>\n<p>But profit has remained elusive, and this has weighed on stock performance in recent times. Though the stock soared 600% over three years, it&#8217;s dropped 35% over the past year. And today it trades for just under $11. Is Soundhound AI stock going to $0? Let&#8217;s find out.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"An investor gazes out the window in a city.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769147710_233_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>Why investors bought Soundhound stock<\/p>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s consider why investors flocked to Soundhound in the first place. The company&#8217;s successes came at the right time, when everyone was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/ai-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">looking for AI stocks<\/a> to buy in order to bet on this new game-changing technology. Many flocked to Soundhound as its method stands out and has delivered growth.<\/p>\n<p>Soundhound translates speech directly into meaning, bypassing the common step of translation into text. This results in greater speed, of course, but greater accuracy too. Soundhound has protected its innovations with more than 200 granted patents and has more than 100 others pending. As mentioned, the company has delivered enormous revenue growth quarter after quarter &#8212; in the most recent, revenue climbed 68%, and Soundhound announced a bunch of new deals and deal renewals across industries, from automotive to healthcare. <\/p>\n<p>The company also continues to innovate &#8212; for example, recently rolling out vision AI, integrating camera-powered technology with Soundhound&#8217;s voice systems. The goal of this is to allow the platform to &#8220;see&#8221; the world around it, therefore strengthening its capabilities. <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"SoundHound AI Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769147710_35_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(2.64%) $0.28<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$10.90<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$4.6B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$10.63 &#8211; $10.93<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$6.52 &#8211; $22.17<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>21M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>28M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>30.02%<\/p>\n<p>Soundhound&#8217;s big problem<\/p>\n<p>But the major drag on Soundhound&#8217;s stock performance has been its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/basics\/revenue-vs-profit\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lack of profitability<\/a> even as revenue advances. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/SOUN\/chart\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img alt=\"SOUN Net Income (Quarterly) Chart\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"456\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent;max-width:720px\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/691af606209b384be8d4571a2d73b723.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/SOUN\/net_income\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">SOUN Net Income (Quarterly)<\/a> data by <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">YCharts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Investors worry that even as Soundhound continues to deliver growth, and this requires ongoing investment, it may be struggling to generate a profit. And without a clear idea of how the company might reach this milestone, investors have avoided the stock in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s return to our question: Is Soundhound going to $0? I don&#8217;t think Soundhound will make such an extreme move, as the company has been scoring contract wins and delivering growth. It hasn&#8217;t been struggling to compete in the voice space, and this is an important point.<\/p>\n<p>Soundhound recently predicted &#8220;near break-even profitability levels&#8221; in 2026 as the company reinvests a portion of its returns. Investors may hesitate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/what-to-invest-in\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to buy<\/a> until they see whether Soundhound can deliver on that promise &#8212; and if it stumbles, the stock may fall further. All of this means Soundhound stock may not be out of the woods just yet.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026 could be a key year for the company.
