SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) has been a tough stock to own over the past two years. The audio and speech recognition company went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on April 28, 2022, and its stock opened at $8.72 before soaring to a record high of $14.98 a week later.
