As its stock soared, Symbotic’s market cap reached $32.23 billion. The company experienced a 50% surge in stock value after its latest earnings report, with the share price increasing from $11.88 on Jan 03, 2023, to $57.98 on Aug 03, 2023.

In May 2022, Symbotic expanded its partnership with Walmart to all 42 of the retailing giant’s distribution centers. In addition to Walmart, Symbotic’s customers include Albertsons and Target, as well as Cohen’s own C&S Wholesale Grocery.
