Did SYM Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

No. SYM reported Q4 2025 earnings of $-0.03 a share on Nov 24, 2025, missing the $0.08 consensus estimate by 139.6%. Revenue was $618.5M against a $604.0M estimate.

Symbotic posted a mixed fiscal fourth quarter, delivering a top-line beat while falling short on the bottom line as elevated operating expenses weighed on profitability. Revenue of $618.46 million topped the $604.00 million consensus by 2.39% and grew 9.6% year over year, yet the company reported an adjusted EPS loss of $0.03, missing the $0.08 consensus estimate by 139.58%, a gap driven largely by $53.85 million in stock-based compensation, $58.73 million in R&D spending, and $6.51 million in restructuring charges that pressured margins despite gross margin expanding meaningfully to 20.6% from 17.1% a year ago. The quarter's most striking figure was cash generation, with operating cash flow reaching $530.68 million for the period, lifting the company's cash balance to $1.24 billion. <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/11/24/live-complete-coverage-of-symbotic-q4-earnings/">Symbotic's $22.5 billion backlog</a> underpins its forward visibility, and management guided Q1 fiscal 2026 revenue of $610 million to $630 million as customers continue transitioning to the next-generation storage platform, though a recent equity offering drew investor concern over dilution heading into the new fiscal year.

Key Takeaways
  • 26% year-over-year revenue growth driven by system deployments
  • Gross margin expansion to 20.6% in Q4 from 17.1% year-over-year
  • 48 operational systems, up from 25 at end of fiscal 2024
  • Strong free cash flow of $494 million in Q4
  • Deferred revenue increase to $1.24 billion from $676 million year-over-year

“We delivered on our commitments to achieve strong top-line growth, a significant rise in operational systems, and strong margin expansion in fiscal year 2025 as we continue to enhance our value to customers.”

SYM CEO, on the earnings call
