Symbotic (SYM – Research Report), the Industrials sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst yesterday. Analyst Joseph C Giordano from TD Cowen remains neutral on the stock and has a $55.00 price target.
Joseph C Giordano’s buy rating for Symbotic’s stock (SYM) is based on a variety of factors. The company’s revenue significantly exceeded both Giordano’s personal expectation and the market consensus, with a clear beat in terms of EBITDA dollars and margin. Fourth quarter revenue guidance also surpassed market estimates at the lower end, and mid-point EBITDA was higher. Giordano’s optimistic outlook is primarily driven by the strong demand for Symbotic’s services and its ongoing expansion, which is expected to provide a buffer against short-term economic fluctuations.
Despite the anticipation of positive EBITDA, the extent of the beat was unexpected and offered further evidence of the company’s growth as it continues to scale. There was a minor forward shift in timing from the first quarter of 2024 to the fourth quarter of 2023, but overall, the company’s performance was impressive. In addition to completing two systems and starting work on four others, Symbotic now has 35 systems in the deployment phase, double the number from the previous year. The company’s ability to keep pace with its seven-quarter completion estimate and reduce the timeline from 2.5 years is a significant achievement. Furthermore, the company’s unique position to deploy as quickly as possible is considered highly attractive given the current state of the retail/logistics sector.
