Symbotic Inc. (SYM) stock surged 14.42% in Tuesday's intraday trading session, on what seems to be investors' growing optimism about the company's upcoming earnings report and potential growth prospects.
The AI-powered robotics and automation technology firm for the supply chain industry is scheduled to report its fiscal first-quarter 2025 financial results on February 5, after the market close. Investors appear to be positioning themselves ahead of the earnings release, likely anticipating positive numbers and guidance from the company.
Moreover, the recent news comparing Symbotic's valuation metrics with its competitor Futu Holdings Limited (FUTU) seems to have highlighted Symbotic's relatively attractive valuation and growth prospects. While Futu currently has a forward P/E ratio of 14.12, Symbotic's forward P/E stands at 206.26, indicating potential upside if the company can deliver on its growth estimates.
