SoundHound AI Inc (SOUN), a prominent player in the artificial intelligence (AI) solutions market, experienced a significant plummet of 5.4% in its stock price during the intraday trading session on Tuesday.
The decline comes amidst growing concerns about the company's inflated valuation. Despite SoundHound AI's impressive 936% stock surge in 2024, fueled by favorable developments such as outstanding growth, an investment from AI giant Nvidia, and positive analyst coverage, the stock's price-to-sales ratio has skyrocketed to an eye-watering 109 times, substantially higher than AI heavyweight Nvidia's ratio of 31.
As investors grapple with the overvaluation risks, some experts suggest exploring alternative AI stocks like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). AMD, while underperforming the market in the past year, is poised for a potential turnaround in 2025. With a focus on AI chip production and a growing presence in the AI accelerator and AI PC markets, AMD's revenue and earnings growth are projected to accelerate significantly in the coming year.
