The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Symbotic Inc. (SYM) Misled Investors Regarding its Projected Earnings Outlook

According to the complaint, defendants provided investors with material information concerning SYM's expected earnings for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in the Company’s projected earnings outlook on the back of stable gross margins due to their efforts to decrease costs related to slow deployment times and further accelerate deployment cycles. At the same time, defendants concealed material adverse facts concerning the true state of SYM’s potential for margin growth in the third quarter; notably, that the Company was not truly equipped to timely deploy their systems or otherwise appropriately manage expenses through project delays. Such statements absent these material facts caused shareholders to purchase SYM's securities at artificially inflated prices.

Plaintiff alleges that on July 29, 2024, SYM published their third quarter fiscal year 2024 results, which failed to meet projections due to below-expectation gross margins. Specifically, the Company’s third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $15 million missed their prior guide by $13 million at the midpoint, a reduction of more than 46.4%. As a result, defendants provided fourth quarter fiscal year 2024 guidance that was well-below market expectations. On this news, the price of SYM's common stock fell over 23%, to close at $27.25 on July 30, 2024.
