Earnings Summary
Symbotic Inc. is a technology innovator focused on automating warehouse operations through advanced robotics and software, aiming to improve operational efficiency for distribution centers. The company operates in the specialty industrial machinery sector, providing end‑to‑end automation solutions. In the latest quarters, Symbotic posted revenue of $486.7 million in Q4 2024, $549.7 million in Q1 2025, $592.1 million in Q2 2025, and $618.5 million in Q3 2025, with EPS rising from $0.3177 in Q4 to $0.5804 in Q3, consistently beating estimates.

Recent news highlights a significant valuation gap suggested by discounted‑cash‑flow analysis and a recent earnings release showing a 22 % YoY revenue rise and a turnaround to $55 million net income, driven by software revenue growth and new deployments; however, analysts have lowered price targets, reflecting concerns about the pace of revenue growth and concentration risk.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
47%

Symbotic Inc. is currently running 44.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against SYM's own 5 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 25th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 66.8%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

SYM is trading -53.2% below its running peak. Across 5 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -51.4%, and the deepest was -64.9% in 2024. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -18.2% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 18th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year SYM closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 5 years of records, SYM finished the month higher 3 of 5 times, with a median return of +2.8% and an average of +10.5%. Its strongest month historically has been July at +14.4% on average, its weakest August at -16.2%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: SYM has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 203 of 1,401 sessions (14.5% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.4% and -13.4%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 1,403 daily closes between 2021-03-09 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against SYM's own 6-year history, not a peer group or index.
