Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to revolutionize numerous sectors, and one of the most talked-about applications currently is voice recognition technology. Amid several key players in the AI-driven voice assistant arena, SoundHound AI, partnered with Nvidia, is capturing a significant share of media attention. However, is this warranted, and is the stock a sleeping ‘Millionaire maker’?
SoundHound AI’s stock has witnessed an extraordinary surge in 2024, climbing 200%. Investors who seized the opportunity to invest at the lowest point last January have seen their investments multiply significantly.
This article aims to delve into SoundHound AI’s operations and evaluate its potential as a lucrative investment opportunity.
Exploring SoundHound AI’s Domain
Speech recognition technology finds applications across various domains. SoundHound AI specializes in integrating this technology into automobiles, dining establishments, and smart home devices.
Its impressive client list, featuring names like Qualcomm, Toast, Block, and Hyundai, demonstrates SoundHound AI’s ability to attract leading global brands.
It’s essential to note that SoundHound AI is not unique in attracting big tech investments. Apple, for instance, has made significant acquisitions such as the voice assistant Siri and the music identification service Shazam, incorporating them across its product range as a testament to its commitment to voice-activated AI.
Similarly, tech giants like Amazon and Alphabet have incorporated voice recognition technologies into their smart home devices, highlighting the importance of voice control in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.
With the potential market estimated at $50 billion, SoundHound AI is positioned to capture a substantial market share.

Growth and Challenges
Despite the hype, the AI-powered voice recognition segment is relatively modest compared to other AI-driven fields like enterprise software and accelerated computing.
SoundHound AI reported $45.9 million in revenue for the year ending December 31, 2023, marking a 48% increase year over year.
This growth indicates SoundHound AI’s emergence in the industry. The company has also made significant strides in reducing losses, demonstrating financial prudence.
However, with just $95 million in cash reserves, SoundHound AI faces the urgent task of converting its growth into sustainable free cash flow.

SoundHound’s Prospects
Projections suggest SoundHound AI could maintain a 50% revenue growth rate through 2024 and 2025, potentially reaching $100 million by 2025. Extending this growth rate until 2030 could see revenues hitting $780 million.
The company’s valuation, based on the price-to-sales ratio, could adjust from the current 29.3 to a more moderate 15, potentially elevating SoundHound AI’s market cap significantly. However, this scenario, while possible, remains speculative.
Investors should approach such forecasts with caution. The competitive landscape and unpredictable macroeconomic factors could impact growth projections.
For those looking to build wealth, investing in speculative stocks like SoundHound AI might not be the most secure strategy. A more conservative approach would be to invest in index funds or established leaders within growth sectors, including AI, which offer exposure to profitable, cash-generating businesses.
In conclusion, while SoundHound AI presents an exciting opportunity, achieving millionaire status through investment in the company requires a highly optimistic and unprecedented growth trajectory.
