SoundHound stock announces major foray into healthcare services

by September 6, 2025

SoundHound AI Inc (NASDAQ: SOUN) is extending gains today after announcing another major foray into healthcare services. 

According to the company’s press release, Primary Health Solutions (PHS) – a Federally Qualified Health Center based in Ohio has agreed to use its voice-enabled AI platform to streamline patient interactions.

The system dubbed “Denise” will handle appointment scheduling, confirmations, and cancellation via speech or text, with future plans to expand into billing and prescription management.

SoundHound stock has handily outperformed the benchmark over the past five months. At writing, it’s up a whopping 90% versus its year-to-date low in early April.

Why is the PHS deal positive for SoundHound stock?

Primary Health Solutions (PHS) is one of the first Federally Qualified Health Centers in the US to adopt SoundHound AI’s voice agent platform for patient engagement.

In a way, it marks the Nasdaq-listed firm’s first major push into healthcare – a sector ripe for AI-enabled transformation.

By integrating its conversational AI platform into patient workflows, SOUN is positioning itself as a scalable solution for administrative bottlenecks in clinics and hospitals. “Denise,” the solution named after a PHS employee, is designed to reduce call center strain while maintaining a human touch.

For SOUN stock, this deal signals a strategic expansion beyond its core verticals like automotive and quick-service restaurants (QSRs). If successful, it could open doors to broader adoption across federally funded health centers and private practices – adding a new revenue stream to its already fast-growing portfolio.

In short, the PHS announcement aligns with SoundHound’s broader commitment to expanding its enterprise footprint.

SOUN shares’ valuation warrants treading with caution

SoundHound shares’ valuation remains elevated, trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of more than 60x – well above industry norms.

While its revenue growth has been explosive (217% year-over-year in Q2), the AI firm continues to post net losses and faces margin pressure from recent acquisitions.

Analysts remain divided on SOUN stock: some see it as a high-growth AI play with multi-sector potential – while others caution that its premium valuation leaves little room for error.

The PHS agreement does add credibility, but investors should weigh execution risks and dilution concerns before jumping in. For now, SoundHound may be best suited only for growth-oriented portfolios with a tolerance for high volatility.

Should you load up on SoundHound shares today?

SoundHound’s entry into healthcare isn’t just a one-off – it reflects a broader ambition to become the go-to voice AI provider across industries.

Whether this move translates into sustained stock momentum will depend on adoption rates and execution. But one thing is clear: SOUN is no longer just a niche AI player – it’s building toward enterprise ubiquity.

That said, the unusually valuation metrics suggest investors must still tread with caution on SOUN shares.
