BBAI - Better AI Stock: BigBear.ai vs. SoundHound AI
2024-04-14 09:15:00 ET
Over the past year, the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms like OpenAI's ChatGPT sparked a buying frenzy in many AI stocks. Big winners included Nvidia , which sells the powerful data center GPUs for processing AI tasks, and Microsoft , which owns a major stake in OpenAI.
Some lesser-known AI players also went public by merging with special purpose acquisition companies ( SPACs ) to capitalize on that bullish trend. Many of these companies initially attracted a lot of interest with their optimistic long-term forecasts, but their stocks collapsed after they broadly missed their own expectations.
Two of those struggling SPAC-backed companies are BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) and SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) . BigBear.ai's stock opened at $9.84 after it closed its merger on Dec. 8, 2021, but now trades at less than $2. SoundHound AI's stock started trading at $8.72 upon closing its merger on April 28, 2022, but it now trades at around $5.
