📄 Summary

STONEHOCKER TIMOTHY (CTO), EMAMI MAJID (VP, Engineering) and MOHAJER KEYVAN (CEO) at SOUNDHOUND AI, INC. (SOUN), sold a combined 230,345.00 shares on October 8, 2025, at an average price of $20.00, realizing proceeds of about ~$4,607,185. After the transaction, they now hold STH: 606,525 D; EMA: 608,186 D; MOH: 2,342,613 D. For retail traders, this is a neutral-to-slightly bearish event: planned 10b5-1 sales, moderate size, likely routine profit-taking.

🔑 Interpretation

  • Type: Comp-related / pre-arranged (all transactions executed pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans)
  • Disposition: Sold according to plan (executed during the day); not indicative of immediate unexpected dumping from an ad-hoc decision
  • Size Context: Combined sale of 230,345 shares represents moderate slices of each insider's prior holdings (approx. ~4.8% for the CEO, ~6.3% for the VP, ~10.4% for the CTO of their pre-trade positions) — consistent with routine profit-taking rather than a large-scale exit
  • ATH Metric: Trades executed ~ $20. Using a recent price reference around $20, these sales occurred in the mid-price range and are not obviously timed at a documented all-time high or all-time low; the activity appears opportunistic within a routine plan rather than timed to an ATH/ATL event.
  • Outlier Check: Not unusually large given reported holdings — sizes are material but within single- to low-double-digit percent ranges of prior positions and consistent with 10b5-1 plan execution.

📊 Bullish or Bearish?

Decide: Neutral

Neutral. Multiple insiders sold shares (transaction code S) under pre-established 10b5-1 plans, producing meaningful but not dramatic proceeds; holdings remain large after the sales. The filing indicates planned disposals rather than discretionary panic selling, and the data is complete for these trades but does not show clustered ad-hoc activity.

✅ Bottom Line (Retail Takeaway)

This transaction looks like routine profit-taking under 10b5-1 plans rather than a clear bearish signal. For retail traders, it’s noise — not a standalone trade trigger unless corroborated by additional unplanned insider selling or material company news.
