Why SoundHound AI is back on investors’ radar
SoundHound AI (SOUN) is drawing fresh attention after renewing and expanding its relationship with Five Guys, where its voice AI agents have already handled well over a million customer interactions across hundreds of restaurant locations.
See our latest analysis for SoundHound AI.
At a share price of US$8.56, SoundHound AI has seen a 16.5% 1 day share price return. However, its 30 day and year to date share price returns remain weak, alongside a 45.1% 1 year total shareholder return decline, while the 3 year total shareholder return is a little over double.
If this Five Guys news has you thinking more broadly about voice and automation, it could be worth scanning our screener of 57 profitable AI stocks that aren’t just burning cash as potential next ideas.
With the shares still well below their 1 year high and analysts’ average price target sitting at US$16.31 versus a last close of US$8.56, you have to ask: is there a genuine opportunity here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 70% Undervalued
StjepanK’s widely followed narrative puts SoundHound AI’s fair value at $28.58 per share, well above the last close of $8.56, and builds a detailed case around long term revenue potential.
SoundHound started as a Stanford dorm-based project between a few aspiring academics in 2004. At that time, hardly anyone thought about voice AI. However, over more than two decades, the team accumulated diverse experience with this technology, building a moat of over 280 patents that set it apart from competitors. These patents cover a wide range, including speech recognition, natural language understanding, and voice search.
Read the complete narrative.
Curious how that moat turns into a much higher share price estimate? The narrative leans on aggressive revenue expansion, improving margins, and a sizeable terminal valuation multiple. The exact mix of growth and profitability assumptions is where the story really gets interesting.
Result: Fair Value of $28.58 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.
However, the story hinges on big assumptions, and declining gross margins along with ongoing stock dilution could both chip away at that optimistic fair value case.

Another Take: Market Pricing Looks Rich
StjepanK’s $28.58 fair value leans on long term growth and margin gains, but the current P/S of 20.8x tells a very different story. That is much higher than both peers at 14.9x and the fair ratio of 5.3x, which points to meaningful valuation risk if expectations cool.
