Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have been some of the market’s most volatile names over the past year, and SoundHound AI (SOUN) is no exception. The voice-AI specialist has become one of the most heavily shorted technology stocks on Wall Street, with 134.9 million shares sold short representing roughly 35.6% of its float. Such an unusually high short interest signals that a large portion of investors are betting the stock will decline. But it also creates the conditions for a potential short squeeze if sentiment suddenly shifts.
Data shows that bearish positioning in SOUN has climbed steadily in recent months, reflecting skepticism about the company’s profitability and the competitive pressures in the voice-AI market. While the voice-AI specialist has posted rapid revenue growth, it remains deeply unprofitable.
