| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $2.2B | +25.7% | +6.6% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $-16.9M | -25.6% | +492.8% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +18.8% | +20.5% | +0.7% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | -4.1% | +37.2% | +405.8% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | -0.8% | +0.1% | +456.4% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $787.9M | +869.1% | -175.5% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +35.1% | +712.0% | -170.9% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 14.3% | — | -100.0% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.09x | -18.0% | -7.9% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $2.4B | +52.1% | +0.8% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | -0.16 vs 0.24 | -165.9% | 0.09 vs 0.13 | -31.4% |

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us to review our most recent results and business updates. We delivered strong third quarter results highlighted by continued revenue growth, and expanding margins leading to continued GAAP profitability, and adjusted EBITDA that more than doubled year over year. Thanks to another strong quarter, we remain well on track to achieve the objectives we laid out at the start of the year. As a reminder, our first objective was to leverage our growing product portfolio and capabilities to broaden our opportunities with customers. We are clearly seeing this play out as our brake pack product to handle individual items or eaches has now begun deployment at half of Walmart's regional distribution centers. In addition, we recently began installation of our FirstSim Micro system for ecommerce fulfillment at the back of a Walmart store, a significant step forward towards unlocking this exciting new category of our business. We are also continuing to drive additional value for our …

Symbotic generated 85% of its revenue from Walmart last year. That relationship will continue for at least the next decade.
Symbotic Inc. delivers robust warehouse automation solutions, capitalizing on the e-commerce-driven demand for efficient supply chain operations. SYM boasts consistent 20%+ revenue growth, a $22.5B backlog, and expanding margins, yet recurring revenues remain minimal. The company's valuation is attractive on a sales basis (EV/Sales 1.47), with profitability improving and a long growth runway secured by a backlog.
The rapid adoption of AI, automation and robotics is reshaping how goods move through cities, warehouses and other physical environments. As businesses seek greater efficiency, reliability and productivity, companies developing robotics platforms and software are gaining increasing attention.
On August 28, 2026, Symbotic Inc (SYM) shares fell 3.1% today, closing at $39.88. The stock has fluctuated between a 52-week high of $87.88 and a low of $38.19
