On August 6, SoundHound AI Inc rose 22.55% overnight, trading at $7.85/share, with turnover of $11,500. The surge was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release, which significantly exceeded market expectations on both revenue and profitability metrics.
SoundHound AI reported record Q2 revenue of $61.9 million, representing a 45% year-over-year increase and handily beating the consensus estimate of $52.39 million. Adjusted EPS came in at -$0.02, outperforming the -$0.06 estimate by 66.67%. Management attributed the strong revenue growth to its OASYS platform and raised the lower bound of its full-year guidance. The company held $203 million in cash with zero debt as of quarter-end.
Additionally, the company's LivePerson acquisition has received all required regulatory approvals and is expected to close by year-end. Wedbush projects the combined entity could generate $350-$400 million in revenue by 2027, with LivePerson's existing customers contributing at least $100 million. SoundHound was also recently named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Conversational AI Platforms, reinforcing its competitive positioning in the voice and agentic AI space.
