Read MoreHide Full Article

Symbiotic, Inc. (SYM - Free Report) is scheduled to report its first-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Feb 5, after the closing bell.

The company has a disappointing earnings surprise history. It missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the four trailing quarters while beating the mark on one instance, delivering a negative average earnings surprise of 56.88%.

Q1’24 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Symbiotic’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $371 million, indicating a 79.8% increase from the year-ago reported figure. We expect new system deployment efforts and investment in innovation to bolster the company’s revenue growth in the quarter.

The consensus estimate for the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at a loss of 5 cents per share. The company reported a loss of 12 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. We expect a contraction in loss due to an increase in revenues.
