SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) has been on a tear, with its stock surging 80% in the past month and nearly 200% this quarter. This explosive rally underscores the market’s speculative fervor, with capital pouring into small- to mid-cap stocks in hot themes like AI, nuclear energy, and quantum computing. The big question now is whether SoundHound can sustain its gains after breaking out above its previous 52-week high near $10 or if the stock is destined for a pullback as 2025 approaches.
