The Bull Thesis: SOUN’s $1.2 billion revenue backlog and its 60%+ year-over-year growth. The recent acquisition of Amelia and expanded partnerships in the automotive (Mercedes, Stellantis) and restaurant industries (Krispy Kreme) suggest the company is scaling toward EBITDA profitability by late 2026.
Short Squeeze Play: It is a strong squeeze candidate, though not as explosive as a low-float play like $WOLF. Because SOUN is a high-volume retail favorite, a squeeze here usually happens via a Gamma Squeeze (options driving price) rather than just shares. When the stock breaks key resistance, the high volume forces shorts to compete with retail buyers for a limited pool of shares.
Current Short Interest: Approximately 30.8% of the public float is shorted. This represents a massive bet against the stock (over 116 million shares).
Public Float: There are roughly 379 million shares in the float. While this is much larger than a stock like $WOLF, it is still concentrated enough for high volatility.
Days to Cover (DTC): Approximately 4.4 to 5.1 days. This is moderately high, meaning shorts cannot exit instantly without significantly moving the price.
Trading Volume: Volume is currently above normal. Recent sessions have seen \~39 million shares traded daily, which is nearly double its 3-month average of \~20 million.
Is this a Microcap?
No. With a market capitalization of approximately $4.92 billion, SOUN is firmly in the Mid-cap category (typically $2B–$10B). It has moved well past its microcap origins thanks to the AI rally and strategic acquisitions.
Target Timing:
Short-term Catalyst: Post-CES momentum is currently driving the price. Possibly in the teens+ & up
The Major Date: February 25, 2026 (Estimated Earnings).
It is currently scrapping the very bottom of the chart. Seems like a good time to pick up some. (None of this is financial advice just my opinion.)
