Sentiment · FY2026 Q2
As of FY2026 Q1, the Tellvest earnings-call sentiment score for SoundHound AI, Inc. (SOUN) is 8/10.
SoundHound opened 2026 with Q1 revenue of $44.2 million, up 52% year-over-year, and organic growth of 88% in its core automotive and IoT business excluding acquisitions, as turnaround acquisitions held down the blended rate. The company announced its fifth acquisition, a definitive agreement to buy LivePerson expected to close in the second half, and launched OASYS, an orchestrated agent platform where AI builds AI. Profitability stepped back this quarter: GAAP gross margin fell to 31% on non-recurring vendor true-up costs and adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $26.7 million amid non-recurring cost-synergy charges and a calculated, time-bounded investment in in-house foundation models. Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $225 million to $260 million; GAAP net loss of $25 million reflected an approximately $39 million non-cash contingent-liability impact against a non-GAAP net loss of $26.6 million.
