Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ: SYM), a leader in A.I.-enabled robotics automation technology, announced that shares of its Class A common stock will trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market today under the ticker symbol “SYM.” Symbotic’s trading debut comes after the completion of its business combination with SVF Investment Corp. 3 (“SVF”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of SoftBank Investment Advisers.

Symbotic is at the forefront of an addressable market opportunity valued at over $350 billion to reinvent warehouse automation and reshape the global supply chain.

Symbotic has proven to its current customers the power of its technology and ability to scale quickly with an industry-leading $11-plus billion in contracted orders.

“Symbotic transforms the supply chain with automation and intelligence so that our customers’ warehouse distribution networks become a competitive advantage,” said Michael J. Loparco, CEO of Symbotic. “As a public company, we have greater capital to scale our platform more rapidly. The ongoing support of SoftBank and all our investor partners will help us transform the industry and innovate faster for the benefit of our customers.”

“Becoming a public company is a significant achievement in Symbotic’s mission to reimagine the warehouse and modernize the global supply chain,” said Rick Cohen, Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of Symbotic. “We have built an exceptional technology platform that is ready to scale. As a public company, we intend to accelerate our growth plans and expand our offerings into new industries. I’m extremely proud of the entire Symbotic team for their unwavering support and thank them for making this milestone possible.”
