SoundHound's Week in Review: Earnings Uncertainty & Valuation Questions
"While the broader market dipped 1.29% this week, SoundHound's decline was nearly 10 times steeper. Year to date, the stock has fallen 25.18%, compared to the S&P 500's essentially flat performance. The company's beta of 2.876 means it moves almost three times as violently as the market, amplifying both rallies and selloffs. SoundHound trades at a $3.13 billion market cap despite generating just $148.4 million in trailing twelve month revenue. That 21x price to sales ratio reflects high growth expectations."

With Wall Street selling off momentum stocks broadly, the companies that will stand out need to see their estimates moving forward if share prices are goign to follow."
