The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2023 revenues is pegged at $16-20 million.
The consensus mark for loss has dropped by a penny to 5 cents per share in the past 30 days, suggesting a 66.67% improvement from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the last four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 7.11% on average.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Consider
SoundHound is likely to have benefited from the growing demand for its conversational AI platform, owing to the increasing popularity of generative AI and large language models. The recent launch of the Polaris initiative underscores the company's commitment to leading in the field of conversational AI.
The company's focus on innovation is evident in the introduction of new products like SoundHound Vehicle Intelligence and Smart Answering for customer service, showcasing a dedication to meet evolving market demands and contributing to revenue growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
SoundHound's generative AI-enhanced voice products, including SoundHound Chat AI, have been well-received in the automotive and restaurant sectors. The incorporation of generative AI in their voice products is expected to have contributed well to the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
SoundHound's Pillar 1 strategy, emphasizing partnerships and growth in sectors such as automotive on the back of collaborations with Hyundai and Stellantis, is expected to have been a significant contributor to revenue growth in the quarter under review.
Increasing partnerships with notable brands like White Castle, Jersey Mike's and Krispy Kreme, on the back of its Pillar 2 strategy, focusing on AI customer service solutions, is likely to have been a tailwind.
Significant deals in the mid-market and regional restaurant space, with partners like Olo and ChowNow is anticipated to have contributed to top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, macroeconomic uncertainties are expected to have hurt SOUN’s results in the to-be-reported quarter.
