Why Symbotic Stock Plunged Today
Portfolio Pulse from Ryan Gustafson
Shares of Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ:SYM) fell after William Blair analyst Ross Sparenblek downgraded the stock from Outperform to Market Perform. Despite acknowledging the company's strong Q3 results and promising 'land-and-expand' strategy, Sparenblek deemed the company's valuation to be stretched at 80.0 times his fiscal 2025 EBITDA estimate and 11.0 times his fiscal 2025 revenue estimate. He also noted a large short-cover rally in Symbotic’s stock, suggesting a potential revisitation of the rating if shares consolidate.
