SoundHound AI Shares Soar 10.46% on $1.59 Billion Surge, Climb to 55th in Trading Activity as Auto Deal Sparks Investor Frenzy

On October 2, 2025, SoundHound AI (SOUN) surged 10.46% with a trading volume of $1.59 billion, marking a 63.87% increase from the previous day. The stock ranked 55th in trading activity across the market, reflecting heightened investor interest in the AI-driven voice technology company.

Recent developments highlight strategic partnerships and product advancements as key catalysts. A newly announced collaboration with a major automotive manufacturer to integrate SoundHound’s voice recognition software into next-generation infotainment systems has bolstered market confidence. Analysts noted the deal’s potential to expand the company’s enterprise revenue streams beyond its core consumer applications.

Technical indicators suggest short-term momentum, with the stock breaking above a critical 50-day moving average line. However, institutional ownership data shows mixed positioning, as some large-cap funds trimmed positions ahead of earnings season. Retail investor activity remains elevated, with social media sentiment tracking tools showing a 40% spike in bullish mentions over the past week.

I understand you’d like to evaluate a daily-rebalanced, 500-stock portfolio selected by highest turnover. At the moment, the available back-testing engines here work on a single security (or a single-security event study), so they can’t directly construct and rebalance a 500-name portfolio each day. To move forward, could you let me know which of the following options you prefer? 1. Approximate the idea with a single liquid index or ETF (e.g., SPY, QQQ, or another instrument you specify) and back-test a one-day holding period. 2. Focus on one representative high-volume stock and back-test the “buy today, sell tomorrow” rule on that ticker. 3. If you have a pre-computed list of daily top-volume tickers, provide it (or a file), and I can treat each date as an “event” and run an aggregate event study on a chosen benchmark ticker. Please advise, and I’ll proceed with the appropriate back-test.
