Symbotic shares jumped around 7% in after-hours trading Monday after the warehouse automation company delivered better-than-expected revenue numbers. The stock got a boost from both the Q4 beat and upbeat guidance for the coming quarter.

Symbotic Inc., SYM

The company reported Q4 fiscal 2025 revenue of $618 million. That topped Wall Street’s estimate of $604.37 million. Revenue climbed 9.5% compared to the same quarter last year when Symbotic pulled in $564.6 million.

The earnings picture wasn’t as rosy. Symbotic posted a net loss of $19.1 million, or -$0.03 per share. Analysts had expected the company to earn $0.05 per share. Last year’s Q4 showed net income of $16 million, making this a swing from profit to loss.

The full fiscal year 2025 numbers paint a picture of rapid expansion. Symbotic generated $2.25 billion in revenue, marking 26% growth year-over-year. The company lost $91 million for the full year but posted adjusted EBITDA of $147 million.

Cash Position Strengthens

One bright spot was the company’s cash situation. Symbotic ended Q4 with $1.25 billion in cash and cash equivalents. That’s up $467 million from the previous quarter, giving the company plenty of runway.

The company is expanding beyond its traditional retail and wholesale customer base. Symbotic added Medline as its first customer in the healthcare vertical during fiscal 2025. This move opens up a new market for the robotics technology provider.

Q1 Guidance Tops Estimates

Looking ahead, Symbotic gave investors reason for optimism. The company expects Q1 fiscal 2026 revenue between $610 million and $630 million. The midpoint of that range sits above the analyst consensus of $606.8 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter should land between $49 million and $53 million, according to company projections. That’s roughly in line with the $49 million adjusted EBITDA Symbotic posted in Q4.

The company continues to roll out its next-generation storage solutions to customers. Gross margin expansion in Q4 suggests these systems are becoming more profitable as Symbotic scales up production and installation.

Symbotic ended fiscal 2025 with more operational systems running at customer sites compared to the previous year. The company didn’t disclose exact system counts but noted the increase contributed to revenue growth.

The guidance for Q1 fiscal 2026 projects continued momentum, with revenue expected to stay near Q4 levels while maintaining adjusted EBITDA in a similar range.
