SoundHound is recasting itself as an enterprise conversational AI company, using a planned LivePerson acquisition to widen its reach beyond its earlier automotive voice-assistant focus.
2025 revenue jumped 99% to $168.9 million, with service subscriptions contributing $133.5 million versus $34.9 million in product royalties, underscoring recurring enterprise demand as the main growth driver.
OASYS and products including Smart Answering, Smart Ordering and Employee Assist are central to that push, aimed at helping businesses build and manage AI agents across voice, chat and digital channels.
The expansion still carries execution risk: SoundHound remains loss-making and faces long enterprise sales cycles, integration demands and competition from Microsoft 365 Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce.
Investors are weighing that broader growth narrative against near-term caution on profitability and valuation, with the stock carrying a Zacks Rank #4 Sell.
