Read MoreHide Full Article

SoundHound AI, Inc. (SOUN - Free Report) shares rallied 20.1% in the last trading session to close at $9.56. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 17.4% gain over the past four weeks.

 

SOUN stock is expected to have surged on the back of investors’ optimism regarding its upcoming earnings performance, with the bottom line expected to grow in double digits. Besides this, the company’s recent partnership with Casey's to enhance its voice AI technology has supported market optimism for the stock. SoundHound’s strategic acquisitions efforts aimed at boosting its capabilities and reaching new customers are expected to have boosted investors’ sentiments in its favor.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +16.7%. Revenues are expected to be $42.71 million, up 46.6% from the year-ago quarter.

While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For SoundHound AI, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on SOUN going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
