Riding the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, SoundHound AI, Inc<\/strong>.\u2019s SOUN shares have gained over 250% in the past year. The company\u2019s revenues increased substantially, and the company raised its full-year guidance primarily due to a growing customer base. However, continued losses and declining margins have led investors to question whether it\u2019s the right time to buy the stock. Let\u2019s explore \u2013<\/p>\n

Reasons to be Bullish on SoundHound AI\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

SoundHound\u2019s products have gained significant popularity by integrating AI with audio recognition technology, making them much more advanced than older, simpler systems like Alexa. Notably, Houndify helps businesses develop their own AI-powered voice recognition services and is widely used by a diverse range of customers, from restaurants like Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. <\/strong>CMG to card companies like Mastercard Incorporated<\/strong> MA.<\/p>\n

SoundHound has successfully attracted new customers in the second quarter, marking its strongest period to date. It also secured a major OEM automotive customer in China and added one of the world\u2019s largest healthcare companies as its customer. Needless to say, SoundHound\u2019s strong customer growth is adding to the revenues.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, SoundHound\u2019s revenues were $42.7 million, up 217% year over year, citing investors.soundhound.com. Moreover, the company expects underlying momentum to continue and raised full-year revenue expectations to $160-$178 million. The full-year revenue guidance is significantly higher than last year\u2019s revenues of $84.6 million.<\/p>\n

Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, SoundHound has substantial cash and cash equivalents of $230 million and no debt. This means the company can create growth opportunities and has strong creditworthiness. The cash reserve also protects SoundHound from any unforeseen economic downturns.<\/p>\n

Is Now a Good Time to Buy SoundHound AI Stock?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given SoundHound\u2019s solid revenue growth and increasing interest from large enterprise customers in its conversational AI platform, the company seems well-positioned to move toward profitability in the near future. This should encourage existing shareholders to hold onto SOUN stock.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the company\u2019s technical indicators signal an uptrend, as the stock is presently trading above its long-term 200-day moving average (DMA) and short-term 50 DMA.\u00a0<\/p>\n
