roomba for bagholders
- sometimes the biggest moat these companies have are the shareholders that skipped basic arithmetic in grade school
- good luck at these prices
- i had my fun shorting this year. but let's just say this is a high conviction "stay away and it's not a buy until so low... it's not worth getting into at that point"
- yes but V it's "production Optimus for Palantir running IonQ with space lasers"
- i know, that's why i'm too old fashioned to want to pay 12x for a co that doesn't produce cash flow in any relevant size for a $45 bn price tag.
- good luck, but buyer beware at anything above $20.

A Crabby Winter? New Highs, New and Old SupportLet's keep it short and a bit elementary.
Last time Symbotic printed their ATH at closing, we saw months of "sideways" trading, forming a channel and eventually breaking through, downwards, due to a multitude of things. I mentioned this early August or so.
ibb.co
I believe with the recent surge, we're going to see the same pattern over the next few months, with our crab walk bounds between... lets say $55-80 respectively, this is wildly speculative and considers both extremes on each end.. ideally we cool off some and linger around something sustainable above $60 while the company continues to produce actual feasible A.I. solutions.
The good I see based off my readings:
-No debt as a company
-New found, highly experienced management
-Introduction of new hybrid batteries for SymBots, 10x more efficient.
www.symbotic.com
-Introduction of Next Gen Structure / Greenbox
-Continued site expansion into Mexico / Nationwide
A lot of other companies are on an A.I. run as we see the bubble grow, who will remain after it eventually pops? Companies that deliver an actual product that you can see work with your own eyes id say. There will be a "shakedown".
Not professional advice, I drew three lines.
Happy Trading.
Long , but planning to TP some after earnings, November 24th
Is the Age of the Human Warehouse Over?Symbotic is no longer just a vendor; it is becoming the operating system of the industrial economy. The robotics leader saw its shares surge nearly 40% Tuesday following a fiscal fourth-quarter report that shattered expectations. With revenue hitting $618 million and system deployments doubling, Wall Street is finally waking up to a new reality. Symbotic’s entry into the $93 billion healthcare logistics market signals a structural shift. The company is transitioning from a retail solution to a critical infrastructure provider, insulating the supply chain from human volatility.
Geopolitics & Geostrategy: The Automation of Sovereignty
Symbotic’s rise is a direct play on "supply chain sovereignty." As global trade routes fracture, nations are aggressively prioritizing domestic logistics resilience. Symbotic’s technology allows the U.S. economy to maintain high-velocity distribution without relying on a fragile, shrinking labor pool. By automating the "middle mile," the company reduces exposure to demographic decline and migration policy shifts. Logistics capacity is no longer just a business metric; it is now a national security asset.
Industry Trends: The Healthcare Alpha
The partnership with Medline Industries marks a pivotal diversification moment. Healthcare logistics demands a level of precision with zero tolerance for error that general retail does not. Winning a contract with a medical supply giant validates Symbotic’s AI as "clinical grade." This move aligns with the broader "Intelligent Supply Chain" trend of 2025. Resilience and redundancy now outweigh pure just-in-time efficiency. Symbotic is positioning itself as the backbone for mission-critical distribution.
Technology & Science: Density as a Deflationary Force
Symbotic’s "Next-Generation" storage architecture is a feat of spatial physics. By reducing warehouse footprints by nearly 40%, the technology acts as a deflationary force against rising industrial real estate costs.
High-Tech Engineering: The system uses proprietary mobile bots that operate independently of specific racking, a radical departure from legacy automation.
Physics of Density: The proprietary design maximizes cubic density, allowing companies to store more inventory in smaller, cheaper spaces close to urban centers.
Macroeconomics & Economics: The Inflation Hedge
The macroeconomic thesis for Symbotic is the spread between the cost of capital and the cost of labor. Even with interest rates elevated, the long-term cost of human labor is rising faster than the cost of robot depreciation. Symbotic’s systems provide a hedge against wage inflation, offering a fixed-cost structure in an inflationary world. This creates a predictable operational expenditure model that CFOs crave in volatile economic climates.
Business Models: The "GreenBox" Evolution
Symbotic is evolving its business model from pure hardware sales to "Warehouse-as-a-Service." The company is democratizing automation, allowing diverse sectors to access enterprise-grade logistics without massive upfront complexity. This recurring revenue model creates a stickier, more predictable cash flow profile. It commands a higher valuation multiple from investors who now view the company as a software platform rather than a hardware manufacturer.
Management & Leadership: The Owner-Operator Edge
CEO Rick Cohen leads with a "three-comma" operator mindset. As the third-generation leader of C&S Wholesale Grocers, Cohen built Symbotic to solve his own problems, not just to sell a product. This "owner-operator" culture permeates the company. Their disciplined refusal to chase growth at the expense of functionality sets them apart. His focus on "monitoring speculative trading" reflects a management team focused on long-term industrial value rather than quarterly stock jukes.
Cyber & Patent Analysis: The Digital Moat
With a massive portfolio of issued and pending patents, Symbotic has built a formidable legal moat around its "structure-independent" bot technology.
Intellectual Property: The patent wall prevents competitors from easily replicating their high-density architecture.
Cyber-Physical Security: As logistics centers become digital nodes, they become targets. Symbotic’s centralized AI "brain" offers a consolidated defense point, crucial for protecting the physical flow of goods from cyber threats.
Conclusion: The Industrial Prime
Symbotic has proven it can scale beyond its largest retail patrons. The Medline deal is the "proof of concept" the market demanded. Investors are no longer buying a grocery logistics company; they are buying the premier industrial automation platform of the decade. The stock’s surge is a delayed recognition of a simple truth: in a world of labor scarcity, the robot is not a luxury; it is a necessity.
SYM 1D - AI with a real upgrade?Symbotic Inc. shows a clean setup: after a strong rally and breakout from a triangle, the stock is now retesting the $68–70 support zone. The 50-day moving average aligns perfectly here, strengthening the buyers’ defense.
If this level holds, the bullish structure stays intact. The first target sits around $79.50, and the second - at $97.63, matching the prior measured move. A dip below $68 could trigger a deeper pullback toward $62 before buyers regroup.
On the fundamental side, Symbotic keeps expanding its robotic warehouse automation systems - a sector still booming thanks to the AI wave. After a 100%+ rally this year, the stock deserves a coffee break before the next sprint.
Tactical plan: watch $69 carefully - if buyers defend, the uptrend continues; if not, give the robots a reboot and wait for the next entry.

$SYM Long term hold and bullish outlook 6 months 🤖 Strategic Expansion with Walmart
In January 2025, Symbotic completed the acquisition of Walmart's Advanced Systems and Robotics business for $200 million, with potential additional payments of up to $350 million based on future orders. This acquisition is part of a broader $520 million agreement wherein Symbotic will develop and deploy AI-enabled robotics solutions for Walmart's Accelerated Pickup and Delivery (APD) centers. If performance criteria are met, Walmart plans to implement these systems in 400 APD centers over several years, potentially increasing Symbotic's future backlog by over $5 billion
Symbotic appointed Dr. James Kuffner as Chief Technology Officer in January 2025. Dr. Kuffner brings over 30 years of experience in robotics and AI, having previously held senior positions at Toyota and Google. He is recognized for co-inventing the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm, a significant contribution to robot motion planning
🏥 Diversification into Healthcare Robotics
In December 2024, Symbotic acquired OhmniLabs, a robotics company specializing in healthcare automation solutions, including autonomous disinfection and telepresence robots. This acquisition aims to expand Symbotic's capabilities beyond warehouse automation and into the healthcare sector

Contrarian interpretation: excessive bearish positioning can lead to sharp upward reversals if bearish traders are squeezed.
📈 Technical Analysis (Macro Bottom Thesis):
Price Structure:
Symbotic has tested a critical lower band (around $20), typically seen as support.
Weekly MACD histogram and squeeze indicators suggest bearish momentum is waning and preparing for a bullish reversal.
RSI & Oscillators:
RSI (41.78) indicates potential oversold conditions near reversal zones.
Serum Oscillator and SQN indicators aligning for a momentum shift upward.
Volume & VWAP:
Price is significantly below its VWAP (Value Weighted Average Price), indicating potential mean reversion to higher levels.
🎯 Trading Thesis (Bullish Contrarian Play):
Speculative Target: New highs above previous peaks (~$64).
Key Support Zone: $19 - $21, ideal for accumulation.
Invalidation: Sustained breakdown below $18 invalidates the short-term bullish scenario.
🚩 Catalysts to Watch:
Upcoming quarterly earnings updates and forward guidance.
Any announcements on further commercial agreements or partnerships.
Positive momentum and short squeeze triggered by bearish sentiment unwinding.
Long on Warehouse AutonomationLets keep this simple.
Symbotic has supported the range of $54 multiple times. I will call the 45-54 region the supported "floor".
We saw a major tank and loss of faith for a bit due to some bad accounting.
WMT has shook hands with Symbotic to become best friends forever, with their advance systems and robotics.
www.symbotic.com
This means hundreds of Walmart Distribution centers will be fitted with an automated storage and retrieval system.
Symbotic has plans to build two sites within Mexico, further expanding its reach; which could eventually turn global.
As I see it, this is a $100 dollar value, long term hold stock. Who else is doing this besides Amazon? Amazon works internally with their own products/shipping. Walmart will never go away, and this relationship between Symbotic will continue to grow as automation begins to ramp among all fields.
Ready for a comeback!This is a company that produces autonomous robots for warehouses, capable of handling goods storage using AI—the potential of this idea is insane!
At the moment, it's automating all of Walmart’s warehouses, which is its main client.
The price has been moving within a descending channel for two years and closed last week right near the upper boundary.
It might be time for a bullish breakout, with a return to previous highs or even beyond.
The first major resistance is around the $40 level.
SYM Trade Breakdown – Robotics Meets Smart Technical's🧪 Company: Symbotic Inc. ( NASDAQ:SYM )
🗓️ Entry: April–May 2025
🧠 Trade Type: Swing / Breakout Reversal
🎯 Entry Zone: $16.28–$17.09
⛔ Stop Loss: Below $14.00
🎯 Target Zone: $50–$64+
📈 Status: Strong Rally in Motion
📊 Why This Trade Setup Stood Out
✅ Macro Falling Wedge Reversal
After nearly two years of compression inside a falling wedge, price finally tapped multi-year structural support and fired off with strength. This wasn’t just a bottom — it was a structural inflection point.
✅ Triple Tap at Demand Zone
Symbotic tapped the ~$17 area multiple times, signaling strong accumulation. Volume and momentum picked up with each successive test, showing institutional interest.
✅ Clean Break of Trendline
Price broke through the falling resistance trendline decisively, confirming the bullish reversal and unleashing stored energy from months of sideways structure.
🔍 Company Narrative Backdrop
Symbotic Inc. isn't just any tech stock. It’s at the forefront of automation and AI-powered supply chain solutions, with real-world robotics deployed in major retail warehouses. That kind of secular growth narrative adds rocket fuel to technical setups like this — especially during AI adoption surges.
Founded in 2020, Symbotic has quickly become a rising name in logistics and warehouse automation, serving the U.S. and Canadian markets. With robotics in demand and investors chasing future-ready tech, the price action aligned perfectly with the macro theme.
🧠 Lessons from the Trade
⚡ Compression = Expansion: Wedges like this build pressure. When they break, the moves are violent.
🧱 Structure Never Lies: The $17 zone was no accident — it was respected over and over.
🤖 Tech Narrative Boosts Confidence: Trading is easier when the fundamentals align with the technicals.
💬 What’s Next for SYM?
If price holds above the wedge and clears the $64 resistance, we could be looking at new all-time highs in the next cycle. Watching for consolidation and retests as opportunity zones.

SYM, setup like TSLAThis chart reminds me of TSLA so much it hurts. A multi month correction forming a massive wedge. Do I care about the fundamentals of this robotic company that serves walmart warehouses? no. Does it fit a narrative that draws attention yes. A bottomed stochastic RSI is noted with a falling BBWP. This chart has 16 attempts at breaking the resistance on the weekly, the time is now. If this does not break here it will fall hugely. The rising bottoms into the contraction noted is bullish.
My plan:
Small bet, May calls OTM on this breakout attempt
I will take the L at 26 closure
My PT1=35
PT2=40.7
PT3= golden fib at 55$
HIGH RV; Symbotic's / Short-term long potential with earnings inShort-term long potential with earnings in about two weeks. Opening a long position with a stop 8% lower.
If the price continues higher, I’ll sell the majority before earnings but may hold around 20%.
This trade is taken with a small position size.
Symbotic $25.60 Buy.2024 was a bad year for Symbotic. The company were involved in some kind of accounting scandal, I don’t know the full facts but it sounds more like someone cocked up with the numbers rather than something more sinister.
As a result of this they are now being sued by investors which doesn’t help, something I am seeing more and more of on the news wires recently.
The fundamentals of the business look solid to me, their largest customer by far is Walmart for whom they supply automated warehouse systems.
Results come out early February, let’s hope they can sort the accounts out this time.
Charts look good for me, I see a nice Chanel starting to build, expecting a comeback this year
Symbotic Hypergrowth? $850 Price TargetOverview
Symbotic Inc. is an A.I. and robotics automation company based in Wilmington, Massachusetts that is looking to increase the ability for companies to keep up with growing demand. To do this, they utilize artificial intelligence software to maintain records and warehouse organization with the assistance of SKU numbers. Autonomous robots then account for, store, and retrieve items in a fraction of the time that it would take a human being. Symbotic's mission is to increase supply capabilities through the symbiotic relationship of artificial intelligence and robots. Its origins trace back to 2007, before it was known as Symbotic, and the company went public in 2022 ( NASDAQ:SYM ).
Call it FOMO, but I think Symbotic Inc. has the potential of becoming a hypergrowth stock. I built my own fundamentals tracker to get a pulse on the tech company's vitals and, while it still is not a profitable company, it looks like it's in the early stages of becoming so. The fundamentals for Symbotic provide me the confidence to invest despite the presence of red flags which led me to performing a deep dive. My price target for Symbotic Inc. is $850 with a projected timeline before 2030.
What I Don't Like
SYM has lost nearly 60% in value since July 2023 from a high of $64.15 to its current share price of $26.87. If you look up Symbotic Inc. on a search engine then you will also see that there are numerous law firms attempting to build class action lawsuits. The headlines can't help but to sow distrust by utilizing strong statements such as "misleading investors" and "inflated revenue" within their subjects. Within the last few weeks Symbotic had to file a delayed annual report due to self-identified accounting errors within their balance sheets. Also, if you dig through their filings, you will find that Symbotic Inc. was born from a deal with SVF Investment Corp which, according to the filings, was headquartered in the Cayman Islands.
I can only assume that the business dealings with SVF Investment Corp were to facilitate equity financing and an expedited public launch for SYM. From my findings, SoftBank Group Corp ( TSE:9984 ) is an investment conglomerate and the parent company to multiple subsidiaries. You guessed it, it is affiliated with SVF Investment Corp which functions as a "blank check company" for SoftBank. In my limited knowledge, this translates as a way for SoftBank to inject a substantial investment into the company that is now known as Symbotic Inc. No matter how savvy they may have been to launch Symbotic Inc., business deals that originate in the Cayman Islands typically raise one's eyebrows.
What I Do Like
Symbotic Inc. seems to have a pretty solid vision for global expansion and has attracted some significant institutional investors such as SoftBank, Vanguard, BlackRock, and Morgan Stanley to name a few. In fact, according to the NASDAQ site, 282 institutional investors hold 82% of Symbotic Inc.'s Class A Common Stock. Symbotic Inc. was founded by Richard "Rick" Cohen who currently serves as the CEO and is a legacy to the Cohen family who founded C&S Wholesale Grocers. Symbotic's technology is used by C&S Wholesale Grocers which is one of the largest privately held companies in the United States.
Symbotic and SoftBank have partnered on a separate venture known as GreenBox which is meant to deliver automated warehouses made possible by Symbotic's hardware and software. According to the company's site, GreenBox is supplying warehouses as a service to consumers. With an increase in online shopping, I believe that Symbotic is both seeing and filling a need in an industry that its founder is very familiar with. I can also envision Symbotic spreading its reach internationally which helps fuel my massive price target. Megacap stocks need to have a global influence and extend across industries, which Symbotic appears to be preparing for.
Fundamentals
Right now, Symbotic Inc. is in its early stages and is bringing in a negative income which makes it a risky investment. However, the company's total revenue has increased by 200% from 2022-Q4 to 2024-Q4; the gross profit has also increased by 147% in the same timeframe. Symbotic's net income has revealed consistent losses since 2022, but the 2024 annual report had the smallest loss on record at a negative $84.7M which is a 39% improvement from 2022 and a 59% improvement from 2023. No matter which way you cut it, the company is still absorbing annual losses so it will be important to keep an eye on improvements and deficiencies to identify any consistent trends.
NASDAQ:SYM has 585,963,959 total outstanding shares according to the 2024 Annual Report published at the beginning of December. This is a far cry from the 106M outstanding shares reported on some financial websites and even here on TradingView. From my findings, around 100M of Symbotic's shares are Class A Common Stocks and the remaining 485M are Class V Common Stocks. My focus is on the market capitalization which is a tool that I like to use when establishing long-term price targets. For Symbotic, which has the potential for global reach and use across multiple industries, I think it's reasonable to achieve a market capitalization of $500B.
Price Target
With the current number of outstanding shares at a market cap of $500B, this would place Symbotic's share price at $853. This type of growth would turn a $1,000 investment today into $31,710 at the projected target price; a whopping 3,000% return. HOWEVER, a lot has to happen to make this come to fruition. One thing I would like to see, in addition to profitability, is for Symbotic to begin buying back its own stock.
It's become my investing philosophy that companies who believe they are undervalued will buyback their shares while companies that believe they are overvalued will issue new shares. Symbotic's total outstanding shares have increased by 5.8% since its annual report at the end of 2022. I think that my philosophy is best tailored to established companies so it is possible that Symbotic could be an exception. Because the company is so new, it may need to issue more shares to generate enough capital to stay afloat while its roots set.
