Symbotic Inc. (SYM) saw a significant decline of 7.41% during regular trading, crossing below the 5-day SMA. This drop comes as the broader market also faced challenges, with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.40% and the S&P 500 down 0.83%.
The decline in Symbotic's stock is attributed to a negative outlook from analysts, reflected in a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell) and a notable 40.66% decrease in the consensus EPS estimate over the past month. Despite the upcoming earnings report expected to show a 400% year-over-year growth in earnings per share, the stock's performance has been overshadowed by broader market weakness.
Investors are closely monitoring the upcoming earnings report, which is projected to reveal significant growth. However, the high valuation metrics, including a Forward P/E ratio of 153.3, raise concerns about the stock's sustainability in the current market environment.
Wall Street analysts forecast SYM stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for SYM is 66.70 USD with a low forecast of 42.00 USD and a high forecast of 83.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
