Read MoreHide Full Article

Symbiotic, Inc. (SYM - Free Report) is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2023 results on Jul 31 before market open.

The company has a disappointing earnings surprise history. It missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and beat on one instance, delivering an average earnings surprise of negative 60%.

Q3 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Symbiotic’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $262.68 million, indicating a 49.6% year-over-year increase. The top-line growth is likely to have been due to the expected continuation of efficiency in deployment aided by outsourcing.
