SoundHound四成流通股被做空,内部人交易全是卖出
9月15日,SoundHound AI的空头持仓(short interest)占流通股比例升至40.47%;数据公布当周,Kahn Swick & Foti律所即对该公司高管及董事启动信义义务调查。轧空(short squeeze)交易与持仓账本对同一家公司的解读方向截然相反,两者必有一错。

轧空论据:一个数字
SoundHound AI空头持仓9月15日升至流通股的40.47%:做空股数165,088,496股,较8月31日增加5.24%,按现有成交量需6.95个交易日方能回补1。Benzinga的轧空观察名单筛选做空比例高于33%的个股,SoundHound超出该门槛七个多百分点2。该股现价约6.05美元,52周高点为22.17美元,市值27亿美元3。近七个交易日的被迫买盘,就是多头论点的全部。
持仓账本指向另一边
2026年第二季度,高盛减持3,985,092股,相当于其持仓的77.7%,价值估计约2580万美元;Defiance ETFs则清空了所持全部3,836,136股1。在全部申报机构中,260家减持,226家增持1。
增持一方的体量排在两笔离场之后:Sixth Street新进350万股,贝莱德增持160万股1。内部人立场一致:六个月内11笔公开市场交易,全部为卖出。首席执行官Keyvan Mohajer卖出263,830股,套现约180万美元;首席运营官Michael Zagorsek卖出136,107股,套现约90万美元1。
第二季度两笔最大的机构变动均为离场

律师翻出收购旧账
9月25日,Kahn Swick & Foti宣布启动信义义务调查,核查SoundHound AI高管及董事是否违反了对股东应尽的义务 4。调查矛头指向上一轮连环收购:2024年1月,公司接连收购SYNQ3和Amelia,却因收购相关会计处理存在重大缺陷,未能在2025年3月按时提交2024年年报。一周后递交的10-K年报重述了财务数据,一桩证券集体诉讼至今仍未了结 45。
此次调查宣布前三周,SoundHound AI刚刚完成对LivePerson的收购——这是公司2022年上市以来的第五笔收购 6。账单如下:4280万美元支付给LivePerson的股权持有人,2.612亿美元用于偿清其有担保票据,合计约3.04亿美元,而当初对外公布的收购价只有4300万美元。以上数字出自第二季度10-Q文件 67。
多空对决,行情见分晓
空头的理由,是LivePerson带来的债务和不断萎缩的业务,而结清这笔账多半还得靠增发股票 3。多头的理由,则是第二季度营收同比增长45%、达到创纪录的6190万美元,全年业绩指引上调至2.3亿至2.6亿美元 36,以及8月财报发布后16.8%的涨势——那不过是一场预演:真正的催化剂落到一只空头持仓占流通股40%的股票上,行情会作何反应 8。4280万美元的季度净亏损,则让盈利问题依然悬而未决 9。
第二季度营收创纪录,45%的增速却是十个季度中最慢的

| 营收 | |
|---|---|
| 2024Q1 | $11.59M |
| 2024Q2 | $13.46M |
| 2024Q3 | $25.09M |
| 2024Q4 | $34.54M |
| 2025Q1 | $29.13M |
| 2025Q2 | $42.68M |
| 2025Q3 | $42.05M |
| 2025Q4 | $55.06M |
| 2026Q1 | $44.2M |
| 2026Q2 | $61.9M |
回补天数不是最后期限,而是一条队伍——排在队里的空头多半不慌不忙,因为这条队伍没有截止日期。下一个有明确日程的信号,是收购完成后更新的业绩指引,预计年底前发布 6。在催化剂或新文件到来之前,押注轧空的买家只能为等待买单,而证券集体诉讼让这笔账越滚越大。
