Symbotic, Inc. (SYM) shares climbed in after-hours trading Monday following a fourth-quarter earnings report that showed the warehouse automation company is making progress on both growth and profitability.
The company posted a three-cent per share loss, matching analyst expectations, while revenue came in at $618.46 million—beating the Street's estimate of $604 million. That's also up from $576.77 million in the same quarter last year, showing solid year-over-year momentum.
What Management Is Saying
"We delivered on our commitments to achieve strong top-line growth, a significant rise in operational systems, and strong margin expansion in fiscal year 2025 as we continue to enhance our value to customers," said CEO Rick Cohen.
Cohen also highlighted a strategic win for the company: "We also added Medline, our first customer in the health care vertical, and enter fiscal year 2026 enthusiastic about our prospects to broaden opportunities with customers."
That expansion into healthcare is notable. Landing Medline opens up a new vertical for Symbotic's warehouse robotics systems beyond its traditional retail and distribution customers.
Looking Ahead
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Symbotic expects revenue between $610 million and $630 million, with adjusted EBITDA of $49 million to $53 million. That guidance suggests the company expects to maintain its growth trajectory while continuing to improve operating leverage.
Symbotic stock jumped 6.76% to $59.21 in extended trading following the report, as investors responded positively to the combination of solid results and encouraging forward guidance.
