  • In Q3, SoundHound's revenue soared by 89% year over year to a record $25 million. But acquisitions hit the company's profit margins. Its gross margin dropped to 49% compared to 73% in the prior-year period. Therefore, while revenue was skyrocketing, its gross profit was up a less impressive 26%. And its net loss actually widened.

In November 2024, SoundHound AI's stock surged by 85%, driven by several key developments. The company reported a significant increase in its third-quarter revenue, surpassing expectations with a 52% year-over-year growth to $13.3 million. This growth was attributed to expanding partnerships and the integration of its voice AI technology into various industries, including automotive and customer service sectors. Additionally, SoundHound AI announced a strategic partnership with a major tech firm, enhancing its market position and investor confidence. The company also provided optimistic forward guidance, projecting continued revenue growth and a path to profitability, which further fueled the stock's rally. Analyst upgrades and positive media coverage also played a role in the stock's impressive performance during the month.
