    Symbotic backlog stands at $22.5B with Walmart generating 85% of revenue

    Question

    Symbotic backlog stands at $22.5B with Walmart generating 85% of revenue

    Direct answer

    Symbotic has built a $22.5 billion backlog in automated supply chain systems, trading below 7 times forward sales. However, revenue concentration remains heavily centered on Walmart, which generated 85% of fiscal 2025 revenue. While Symbotic is attempting to expand deployments to other retail and logistics operators, revenue recognition and deployment timelines remain tightly tied to Walmart installation schedules.
