## Elevator Pitch

- SoundHound AI's revenue growth is impressive, with potential for upside surprises in FY25 as the management may be low-balling guidance.
- Stock-based compensation remains high despite multiplier revenue growth, raising concerns about minority shareholder interests taking a backseat over the company's employees.
- Management is targeting adjusted EBITDA profitability by the end of the year, but I don't believe this as the company has a track record of missing on EBITDA expectations.
- In any case, when they say adjusted EBITDA profitability, we should really interpret it as -55% EBITDA margins. The company is also burning lots of cash, which is another risk.
- Valuation is stretched at a significant premium to peers, and the technicals vs. SPX 500 show no clear direction.
