KeyBanc Capital Markets On Symbotic
Analyst Ken Newman maintained an Overweight rating and price target of $55.
Symbotic reported its quarterly sales and EBITDA significantly ahead of expectations, while exhibiting strong free cash flow generation, Newman said in a note.
Although the company announced its fiscal third-quarter guidance in-line with consensus, "We think the outlook could be modestly conservative given SYM's recent execution, reaccelerating system initiations, and improving deployment completion schedules," he added.
The analyst raised the earnings estimate for fiscal 2024 from 2 cents per share to 40 cents per share.
"Looking out, we view SYM as a strong secular growth story that should benefit from its solid innovation funnel, including continued ramps in its GreenBox JV, share gain opportunities in non-ambient deployments, and accelerated adoption of the Company's BreakPack solution," he further wrote.
