SoundHound AI Inc. (SOUN.NaE) stock jumped 20.15% in premarket trading on Friday to $12.88 after reporting record quarterly results that crushed Wall Street estimates.

The voice AI company posted second-quarter revenue of $42.7 million, beating analyst expectations of $32.88 million and marking 217% year-over-year growth. Adjusted losses narrowed to $0.03 per share versus the $0.09 consensus estimate.

CEO Keyvan Mohajer called it “our all-time strongest quarter,” with growth across automotive, enterprise AI, and restaurant automation segments. The platform now processes over 1 billion monthly queries.

I’m seeing dollar signs.

Envision a future where SOUN cuts out the Indian call centers, and ASTS satellites expand communications networks so that American companies can start spamming Indians with calls about extended warranties for their Tatas.

Sold mine last year. Basis was $5.18. Sold at $13.63.

Not sure short-term right now at least... SOUN.

I got in around same time as you. $5.20 basis. I’m still holding for now but if it runs up like it did at the end of last year I’ll probably cash out

Hell if I know.
They do have a lot of contracts and the revenue was a big surprise but they're still losing money.
This was mentioned around the same time as NBIS got the boards attention and I started selling puts on it as it rallied into the 20's. Kept going to the well selling OTM puts and then the market wet the bed and I got assigned 200 shares at $15.
Then started selling 15 calls against this is the 4th series of calls I've sold. $15 strike and expire on 8/15. Would like to get called out but if not, will sell calls above the $15 strike.

Hold. SOUN has the potential to be absolutely massive. They are being chosen for having the best AI voice tech, and AI voice will take over everything. It’s applicable to almost every industry

It was probably around that time where I chose NBIS over SOUN.
I think I got about $16 for it back then.
Possibly more upside than NBIS now, but my conviction is much lower in SOUN.
Seems like a likely acquisition for someone.
