Walmart (NYSE:WMT), Target, and Albertsons (NYSE:ACI) are among the big names that have shown interest in Symbotic’s proprietary system. The system, backed by over 500 patents, uses autonomous robots in its distribution facilities that can reach speeds over 20 miles per hour. The process is largely managed by machine learning software with minimal human intervention and boasts an impressive 99.99% accuracy rate.
Walmart is particularly invested in Symbotic’s technology. As part of its supply chain modernization initiative, the retail giant is integrating Symbotic’s robotics platform across all its 42 regional distribution centers.
Symbotic’s innovative approach to supply chain management has also had a positive impact on its financial performance. The company reported a significant 77% year-over-year revenue increase to $312 million in its fiscal third quarter ending June 24. Although not yet profitable, Symbotic has seen its adjusted EBITDA loss shrink from $22 million in the previous year to just $3 million in the most recent quarter.
The company’s shares are currently priced at a premium due to its advanced AI technology and vast growth potential. With a market capitalization of approximately $17 billion, there is a strong possibility that the value of its stock could double in the coming years.
Despite this impressive growth trajectory, Symbotic has only begun to tap into a market opportunity estimated at a staggering $350 billion by its management. Coupled with an enormous order backlog worth $23 billion, much of Symbotic’s future growth appears secure. This suggests substantial room for continued rapid growth for this AI pioneer.
