SoundHound's Agentic AI Push Could Be Right—Even if the Chart Isn't
Reported by Chris Markoch. Posted: 1/28/2026.
At a Glance
- SoundHound AI is expanding beyond voice into agentic AI with new Amelia 7 capabilities, broadening use cases from conversation to task execution.
- The business has real, growing revenue, but the market is balancing that against a lack of profitability and a premium valuation near 48x sales.
- Momentum is still technically bearish, and low institutional ownership plus high short interest point to elevated volatility ahead of the next earnings update.
SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN) got off to a strong start in 2026. The company unveiled new features for its Amelia agentic AI platform at CES in Las Vegas. The updates extend SoundHound's conversational AI into agentic capabilities that can order food, make reservations, pay for parking, and book travel.
This is notable for a company already posting strong year-over-year revenue growth. But a lead doesn't automatically translate into a durable moat. These new features help build that moat, particularly in the growing autonomous vehicle sector.
Executive Order 14330: Trump's Biggest Yet (Ad)
While President Trump's official salary is $400,000 per year... his tax returns reveal he's been collecting up to $250,000 PER MONTH from one hidden source. Until recently, most Americans couldn't touch the type of investment that makes up this investment. But thanks to Executive Order 14330, that just changed. If you love investing in disruptive new companies...

SoundHound has a compelling business story supported by real, growing revenue, yet it isn't profitable and trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of roughly 48x. That valuation looks rich at a time when many investors are less inclined to pay premiums for speculative names.
From April through October 2025, SOUN was one of the best-performing technology stocks. Since then it has fallen into a bearish pattern of lower highs and lower lows. Even with the CES announcements, SOUN is down more than 8% in the first month of 2026.
Part of that decline reflects a broader rotation out of technology stocks. If the market is mispricing SoundHound, however, the pullback could present an opportunity.
Agentic AI Is Where the Sector Is Moving
Generative AI — chatbots and content generators — dominated 2024. It isn't going away, but AI is evolving. The next wave is agentic AI: systems that act autonomously to execute tasks with little or no human supervision. The emphasis shifts from conversation to execution, turning intent into coordinated action across multiple systems.
Amelia Expands SoundHound's Agentic Capabilities
SoundHound's acquisition of Amelia, announced in November 2024 and completed in early 2025, meaningfully broadened its conversational AI strategy. Amelia brings enterprise-grade AI agents tailored for customer service, IT support, and internal business workflows.
These agents can reason through complex requests, access structured enterprise data, and execute tasks across backend systems. In short, Amelia moves SoundHound beyond voice-first interactions into full-stack agentic AI for enterprises.
That positions SoundHound not just as a voice-AI vendor but as an action layer for agentic AI — a critical role as companies transition AI from experimentation to production.
Why This Matters for Investors
Agentic AI favors platforms that can operate reliably in real-time environments such as cars, restaurants, call centers, and enterprise systems. SoundHound already runs at scale in many of these settings and generates revenue today rather than just promising future sales.
Valuation remains a legitimate concern, but the Amelia deal expands SoundHound's addressable market and aligns it with where AI spending may head next. If agentic AI adoption accelerates, SoundHound's recent pullback could reflect temporary investor caution rather than a broken thesis.
Sentiment on SOUN Stock Is Mixed
SoundHound won't report earnings until late February, so investors must wait to see how the new features translate to adoption and revenue.
Analyst sentiment is mixed. The consensus price target for SOUN is $16.07, implying roughly a 61% gain from the stock's Jan. 27 close. At the same time, MarketBeat's analyst forecasts included two Sell ratings in January.
Technically, the daily chart is tilted to the downside. Shares trade below both the 50‑day and 200‑day moving averages, and the 50‑day sits below the 200‑day — a "death cross" that signals medium‑term momentum has rolled over. Prior rallies have been sold rather than sustained, reinforcing the negative trend.
Price action shows a sharp retreat from the 52‑week high near $22 and a continued pattern of lower highs and lower lows — a classic downtrend. Volume spikes on selloffs have not been followed by durable accumulation days, suggesting buyers remain tentative.
Oversold oscillators indicate a short‑term bounce is possible, but without a higher low and a decisive move back above the 50‑day average, such rallies would be counter‑trend rather than a confirmed reversal.
Institutional ownership is under 20% and short interest exceeds 29%. That combination creates heightened volatility, so investors should have a high risk tolerance and a sufficient time horizon before considering SOUN stock.
