Symbotic's Backlog Sits at $22.5 Billion. Here's The Customer Concentration Risk Nobody Talks About

Published September 1, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

Symbotic (NASDAQ: SYM), a developer of autonomous warehouse robots, went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on June 8, 2022. It started trading at $10.51 per share, closed at a record high of $87.30 on Nov. 26, 2025, but now trades at $38.

Symbotic is still a divisive stock. The bulls are impressed by its robust revenue growth, its expanding margins, and its growing backlog -- which reached $22.5 billion in its latest quarter. But the bears will warn you that it's overly dependent on Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) and that many investors overlook that customer concentration risk.
