- Lack of Profitability: SoundHound AI is currently unprofitable, and the fierce capital investment competition in the AI sector makes its timeline for profitability uncertain, increasing investor risk.
- Severe Stock Volatility: Over the past year, the company's stock has lost 50% of its value twice, and such extreme volatility may be difficult for most investors to stomach, reflecting the uncertainty faced by startups in the market.
- Emotion-Driven Investors: While AI is seen as a future trend, not all related stocks will succeed, and SoundHound AI's technology may be overshadowed by competitors, necessitating cautious risk assessment by investors.
- Alternative Investment Suggestions: For those looking to invest in AI, it may be wiser to consider purchasing AI-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to diversify risk and reduce reliance on a single high-volatility stock.
