SoundHound AI Heads Into Q1 Report as Options Point to a Big Swing

Options pricing signals a big swing with traders favoring calls over puts.

Overview

  • SoundHound AI is set to release Q1 2026 results, and options prices imply about a 15.9% move that lines up with an expected range near $7.80 to $10.74.
  • Wall Street projects $42.56 million in revenue and a loss of $0.10 per share for the quarter.
  • Call option activity far outweighs puts at the $9.50 and $10 strikes, indicating a bullish setup ahead of the numbers.
  • Short interest recently climbed to about 146.6 million shares, or roughly 38% of the public float, which can amplify any post-earnings swing if sellers rush to buy shares back.
  • In Q4 2025 the company beat on both revenue and earnings, yet the stock fell about 4% the next day, a reminder that guidance and profit signals often drive the reaction more than a single-quarter beat.
