SoundHound AI drops 49% since InvestingPro’s overvaluation warning

In December 2024, Investing.com’s Fair Value models identified SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) as significantly overvalued, warning investors of potential downside ahead. Nearly eleven months later, this analysis has proven remarkably accurate, with the stock dropping approximately 49% from its previous levels. This case highlights how Fair Value analysis helps investors find better entry and exit points, understand a stock’s intrinsic value, and make more informed investment decisions by combining multiple valuation methodologies. For investors looking for similar opportunities, the most overvalued list offers potential candidates for careful consideration.

SoundHound AI specializes in voice-enabled AI technology, primarily serving the restaurant and automotive industries. When InvestingPro’s models flagged the stock as overvalued in December 2024, the company had reported revenue of $67.3 million with an EBITDA of -$83.6 million and EPS of -$0.36. The stock had experienced dramatic volatility in the six months prior, with particularly strong gains in November and December 2024, surging 85% and 113% respectively. This rapid price appreciation, coupled with an opaque business model and heavy dependence on retail investor interest, contributed to InvestingPro’s cautious stance.

At the time of the overvaluation warning, SoundHound was trading at $23.95, while InvestingPro’s Fair Value estimate suggested a price of $12.03 – indicating potential downside of nearly 50%. As of mid-November 2025, the stock trades at $12.17, almost exactly matching the model’s prediction. This validation underscores the effectiveness of InvestingPro’s methodology in identifying mispriced assets, potentially saving investors from significant losses during the subsequent decline.

Recent developments have continued to validate the initial overvaluation thesis. While SoundHound has grown its revenue to $148.4 million, its losses have widened, with current EBITDA at -$151.2 million and EPS deteriorating to -$0.79. The company has faced several challenges, including delayed 10-K filings that caused stock drops and announcements of potential securities sales worth $500 million. Notably, multiple executives, including the CEO, CTO, and CFO, have sold significant amounts of shares over recent months, collectively worth millions of dollars.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis works by aggregating multiple valuation methods to provide comprehensive intrinsic value estimates. The model considers discounted cash flows, comparable company analyses, dividend discount models, and analyst consensus targets, all while factoring in a margin of safety. For SoundHound AI, this methodology successfully identified the disconnect between market enthusiasm and fundamental reality, providing an early warning signal before the decline accelerated.

The successful prediction of SoundHound AI’s price correction demonstrates the value of sophisticated valuation tools for investors navigating volatile markets. With InvestingPro, subscribers gain access to Fair Value estimates for thousands of stocks, financial health scores, and insider transaction tracking – all critical components that contributed to the accurate SOUN assessment. As market volatility continues, these tools become increasingly valuable for identifying both overvalued stocks to avoid and undervalued opportunities to consider.
