SoundHound AI (SOUN) is trading around $10.54 in intraday dealings on 21 January 2026, within a session range of $10.40–$10.84 based on Capital.com pricing as of 3:36pm UTC. The stock has been fluctuating following heightened volatility over the past year, during which it has seen both strong rallies and subsequent pullbacks, leaving it below earlier multi-month highs referenced in recent coverage. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Price action comes amid company-specific developments and broader AI-sector sentiment, with SoundHound AI recently announcing a partnership with technology advisory firm Bridgepointe Technologies (Investing.com, 21 January 2026) and showcasing its Amelia 7 agentic AI platform alongside other voice-AI solutions at CES 2026 (SoundHound AI, 5 January 2026). Trading also reflects ongoing reactions to earlier quarterly results, which showed revenue growth of around two-thirds year on year (Nasdaq, 7 November 2025).

Stock Analysis (consensus view)

Stock Analysis reports that seven analysts covering SoundHound AI have an average 12-month price target of about $15.57, with individual targets ranging from roughly $8 to $26. The service notes that this spread reflects divergent views on growth prospects and execution risks as the company scales its AI platform across multiple sectors (Stock Analysis, 20 January 2026).

MarketBeat (rating snapshot)

MarketBeat highlights an analyst consensus it describes as ‘Moderate Buy’, with an average 12-month SoundHound AI price target of around $16.07. Individual ratings span from Strong Buy to Sell, reflecting both recent earnings outcomes and differing assessments of when the company may reach profitability, within a competitive AI landscape (MarketBeat, 20 January 2026).

Benzinga (recent rating focus)

SOUN stock price: Technical overview

The SOUN stock price is trading around $10.54 as of 3:36pm UTC on 21 January 2026, positioned close to the Classic pivot near $10.98 on the daily chart. The simple moving-average cluster places the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day SMAs at approximately 10.90, 11.56, 14.10 and 12.36 respectively, with shorter-term averages remaining below longer-term measures, which keeps the broader technical bias under pressure. The 14-day RSI, near 42.7, sits in lower-neutral territory, while the ADX around 12.7 points to a weak directional trend rather than a strong impulse move.

On the upside, the first area to monitor is the classic R1 pivot around $12.11, with R2 near $14.24 coming into focus only if price were to achieve a sustained daily close above that initial level. On pullbacks, initial support aligns with the Classic pivot at around $10.98. Below that, the S1 area near $8.85 would come into view if downside pressure were to persist, with the 200-day SMA near $12.36 remaining a broader reference point for trend-following traders (TradingView, 21 January 2026).

SoundHound AI share price history (2024–2026)

SOUN’s stock price has followed a volatile path over the past two years, moving from penny-stock levels into double-digit territory. The stock traded below $2 for much of early 2024, before surging in February and moving above $7 by month-end. This was followed by a consolidation phase, with prices easing back into a $3.50–$6.50 range through mid-2024 as volatility moderated and earlier gains were absorbed.

Momentum returned in late 2024 and early 2025, with SOUN rising from around $5 in October 2024 to above $20 by early January 2025, briefly reaching intraday highs above $22. After this peak, the share price trended lower through 2025, sliding from mid- to high-teens levels in the first half of the year before closing at $9.98 on 31 December 2025. The stock is now trading close to $10.55 as of 21 January 2026.

SoundHound AI (SOUN): Capital.com analyst view

SoundHound AI’s share price has been highly volatile over the past two years, ranging from below $2 in early 2024 to above $20 at the start of 2025, before retracing to trade around $10.54 as of 21 January 2026. Such price behaviour can attract traders who look for short-term opportunities driven by sharp moves, but it also highlights the risk that rapid fluctuations can amplify losses as well as gains, particularly when trading leveraged products such as CFDs, where spreads and overnight financing costs apply.

From a fundamental perspective, market interest in SoundHound AI reflects its positioning in voice and conversational AI across automotive, restaurant and broader enterprise use cases. Management has highlighted opportunities in areas such as in-car assistants, voice commerce and AI agents. At the same time, these themes introduce uncertainty around execution, profitability and competitive dynamics, meaning that news and earnings updates may influence the share price in both directions as expectations evolve.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

FAQ

Who owns the most SoundHound AI stock?

SoundHound AI’s share register includes a mix of institutional investors, company insiders and retail shareholders. Larger holdings are typically disclosed by institutional asset managers and investment firms through regulatory filings, which may change over time as positions are adjusted. No single shareholder is publicly identified as having outright control, and ownership levels can shift in response to capital raises, share sales or changes in broader market conditions.

What is the 5-year SoundHound AI share price forecast?

There is no widely agreed or reliable five-year SOUN stock forecast. Most publicly available analyst estimates focus on 12-month horizons rather than longer-term projections. Outcomes over a five-year period depend on multiple uncertain factors, including revenue growth, competition, technology adoption and broader market conditions. As a result, longer-term forecasts are generally considered speculative and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

Is SoundHound AI a good stock to buy?

Whether SoundHound AI is considered a ‘good’ stock depends on an individual’s objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon. The company operates in a competitive and evolving segment of the AI market, which some market participants view as offering growth potential, while others point to execution and profitability risks. This content does not provide investment advice, and any decision should be based on independent research and personal circumstances.

Could SoundHound AI stock go up or down?

Yes, SoundHound AI’s share price could move either up or down. As its recent history shows, the stock has experienced periods of significant volatility, influenced by earnings results, company announcements and broader sentiment towards AI-related shares. External factors, such as overall market conditions and shifts in investor expectations, can also affect price movements. There is no guarantee that historical price behaviour will repeat.

Should I invest in SoundHound AI stock?

This article does not recommend whether you should invest in SoundHound AI. Investing in individual shares involves risk, including the possibility of losing some or all of your capital. Before making any investment decision, it’s important to consider your financial situation, investment goals and understanding of the risks involved, and to seek independent advice where appropriate.

Can I trade SoundHound AI CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade SoundHound AI CFDs on Capital.com. Trading share CFDs lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset and to take long or short positions.
