Multiple law firms have filed class action lawsuits against SoundHound AI, alleging securities fraud related to material weaknesses in the company's internal controls and financial reporting, particularly concerning corporate acquisitions.
SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN), a prominent player in the artificial intelligence industry, is currently embroiled in a series of class action lawsuits alleging securities fraud. Multiple law firms, including Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, and Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, have filed complaints against the company on behalf of investors who purchased SoundHound securities between May 10, 2024, and March 3, 2025 123.
The core allegations against SoundHound AI revolve around material weaknesses in the company's internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, the lawsuits claim that:
On March 4, 2025, SoundHound disclosed in an SEC filing that it would be unable to timely file its Annual Report for 2024 due to the complexity of accounting for recent acquisitions. This announcement led to a significant drop in the company's stock price, falling $0.60 per share or 5.81% to close at $9.72 1.
The class action lawsuits seek to recover damages for affected investors. Key details include:
Investors who purchased SoundHound securities during the class period are encouraged to contact the law firms to discuss their legal rights and potential involvement in the lawsuits 123.
This legal challenge comes at a critical time for SoundHound AI and may have broader implications for the AI industry. As companies in this sector often rely on complex financial structures and rapid growth through acquisitions, the outcome of these lawsuits could set important precedents for financial reporting and transparency in the AI space 123.
The situation underscores the importance of robust internal controls and accurate financial reporting for tech companies, especially those involved in frequent M&A activities. It also highlights the scrutiny that high-growth AI companies face from investors and regulators alike.
