Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ:SYM) develops automation technologies to improve operational efficiency in warehouses and distribution centers.

On February 6, Raymond James analyst Brian Gesuale downgraded Symbotic (NASDAQ:SYM) to Market Perform from Outperform, after weaker-than-expected 1Q results and a 2Q guidance miss. The company’s flat backlog and slower system deployment pace, along with minimal improvement in deployment time have raised concerns. Despite Symbotic’s strong AI and robotic technology and large market potential, inconsistent execution has dampened confidence. The company must significantly increase system deployments and improve margins to sustain rapid revenue growth and attract new clients, the analyst noted.
