Widening losses persist despite record revenue and stronger liquidity

SoundHound AI reported record second-quarter 2026 revenue of $61.9 million, marking a 45% year-over-year increase and demonstrating substantial top-line growth, according to Quiverquant. Despite the robust sales performance, the company posted a GAAP net loss of $42.8 million for the quarter and an operating loss that widened to $43.3 million, underscoring continued margin pressures. Gross profit rose 67.6% to $27.9 million, while new and expanded enterprise agreements across multiple sectors, including a notable seven-figure contract with a major Chinese infotainment software company, further diversified its revenue base, as reported by Blockonomi. Liquidity was solidified with over $200 million in cash and no debt, as per Stocktwits, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Overbought momentum as intraday volatility signals exhaustion risk

On the hourly chart, SOUN is holding above the MA-20 at $6.68 and the MA-50 at $6.29, while still trading below the long-term MA-200 at $9.32. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $6.94 serves as immediate support. Momentum indicators confirm ongoing buyer dominance, with MACD and ADX signaling buy conditions, CCI in buy territory, and Bull/Bear Power highlighting bullish intraday sentiment. However, RSI at 70.84 is in the overbought zone and Stoch RSI is neutral, while the Awesome Oscillator remains flat. Some oscillators indicate a short-term divergence, suggesting possible exhaustion as intraday volatility stays elevated and the price approaches today’s low.

Sideways consolidation expected as volatility defines near-term range

For the next two to three sessions, SOUN is projected to trade between $6.37 and $7.75, reflecting a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The most likely outcome is a period of sideways consolidation within this range. A bullish scenario could emerge if price breaks above resistance, testing the upper end of the forecast range, while a bearish scenario would be triggered by a sustained drop below near-term support, targeting the lower boundary.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees SoundHound AI’s fundamental growth story overshadowed by persisting profitability concerns and an overbought technical profile. He notes solid liquidity and diverse deal flow, but remains skeptical due to the widened operating loss and volatile sentiment. The analyst believes evidence for a sustained trend is lacking while the price struggles below the MA-200. "Until SOUN clears $9.32 with conviction, I remain cautious and view any upside as limited to short-term rebounds."

Earlier, analysts noted that SoundHound AI exhibited persistent technical headwinds despite intermittent rallies, maintaining a cautious outlook on the longer-term trend. The current technical setup suggests traders should closely monitor the stock’s ability to hold above near-term support at $6.94, as a breakdown below this level could signal renewed downside risk.
