SVF Sponsor III (De) LLC sold entire 5.59M share stake (100%) in SYM for $281.8M at $50.42; stock now $46.42, down 47.2% from 52-week high.

SVF Sponsor III (De) LLC divested its complete position of 5,590,000 shares in Symbotic Inc. at $50.42 on 2026-05-27, raising $281,819,850.00. The complete exit—from 5,590,000 shares to 0 shares, a -100.0% reduction—signals a full termination of the insider's investment stake. The stock has declined 47.2% from its 52-week high of $87.88 to the current $46.42, suggesting this sale occurred near a relative peak. While Symbotic reported annual revenue growth of +25.6% and quarterly revenue of $676,480,000.00, the company remains unprofitable (full-year net income was negative), creating uncertainty about the sustainability of topline growth. The insider's prior sell at this ticker on 2025-12-08 returned -8.6% over 90 days, consistent with a 100.00% well-timed sell rate at this ticker—indicating that historical sells preceded stock decline, though post-transaction price action will ultimately validate timing.

SoftBank Group divests entire 5.59M Symbotic stake worth $281.8M at $50.42; stock down 47.2% from 52-week high.

SoftBank Group completely exited its 5,590,000 share position in Symbotic Inc., liquidating the entire 10% stake for $281,819,850.00 at $50.42 per share on 2026-05-27. The transaction occurs as Symbotic's stock has declined 47.2% from its 52-week high of $87.88 and fallen 19.1% over the prior 30 days, despite strong reported fundamentals: the company recorded $676,480,000.00 in latest quarterly revenue with annual revenue growth of +25.6%. However, this growth masks a critical profitability gap—Symbotic was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and the latest quarter shows net income of only $1,969,000.00 against a $28.0B market capitalization. SoftBank's full divestiture signals a strategic exit from a high-valuation, unprofitable growth name during a period of sharp price deterioration, removing the company's largest shareholder at a moment when operational leverage has yet to materialize.

Director Todd Krasnow sells 26,633 shares (88.8% of holdings) at $53.31 avg for $1.4M at SYM

Todd Krasnow, Director at Symbotic Inc., executed 2 separate sales on 2026-05-22 totaling 26,633 shares for $1,419,674.90, reducing his non-derivative holdings from 30,000 to 3,367 shares. The sale occurs as SYM trades at $53.63, down 39.0% from its 52-week high of $87.88, and the stock has declined 9.9% over the prior 30 days. Krasnow retains substantial derivative holdings (711,038 total shares through Symbotic Holdings Units vehicles), so his overall economic position remains significant despite the substantial reduction in direct share count. His same-ticker trading history at SYM shows mixed timing outcomes: 2 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day horizon, while this month alone he sold twice (2026-05-11) with near-neutral subsequent returns. The company generated $676.5M in revenue last quarter with annual growth of 25.6%, though it remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, creating a fundamental disconnect between operational momentum and recent stock performance that warrants investor scrutiny of near-term drivers.

Significance 5

Director Todd Krasnow sells 55,844 shares totaling $1.33M, reducing stake by 14% while stock trades 43% below 52-week high.

Director Todd Krasnow has sold substantially all of his direct holdings in two tranches on the same day, liquidating over half of his total position and reducing his combined stake from 212,458 shares to 182,036 shares. The sales occurred while the stock is trading significantly below its 52-week high and has declined over the past month and quarter, presenting an unusual exit timing dynamic. Krasnow's prior sales at this company have consistently been well-timed over shorter periods—all four measurable prior sales saw the stock fall in the month that followed—but his longer-term track record is mixed, with the stock recovering and climbing considerably within three months of most exits. The company itself is loss-making on an annual basis, though it posted a profitable quarter most recently and is growing revenue at a double-digit rate, suggesting fundamentals may be stabilizing even as the stock price has pulled back. This represents his sixth and seventh open-market sale at Symbotic in the 36-month window, continuing a pattern of liquidation with no open-market purchases recorded in that period, which is noteworthy for a director typically expected to have conviction in the company's direction.

Significance 5

C-suite insider sells $540k of SYM stock after material purchases, coinciding with pullback from earlier highs.

Symbotic insiders completed a mixed trading pattern: material share purchases totaling approximately 9,194 shares across multiple tranches, followed days later by three separate sell transactions totaling $540,123 across 9,194 shares. This mirrors a classic acquire-and-liquidate pattern, raising questions about conviction. The company trades well below its recent highs despite a strong rebound over the prior month, suggesting recent momentum that insiders are choosing to monetize. While Symbotic shows genuine revenue growth and has returned to profitability in the latest quarter, it remains unprofitable on an annual basis and carries the structural uncertainty of a company still proving sustainable earnings power. The timing of insider selling into recent strength, paired with the company's binary financial profile, warrants closer scrutiny of whether this reflects confidence in near-term valuation or a more cautious long-term view.

Director Ford Rollin L. sold entire 60,000-share position across 3 trades totaling $3.5M at avg $57.51; now holds zero shares.

Director Ford Rollin L. completely exited his 60.0K share stake in Symbotic Inc. via three separate sales on 2026-02-11, realizing $3,450,420.74 at a blended average price of $57.51. The stock has since declined 37.1% from its 52-week high of $87.30 and is currently trading at $54.95, down 19.2% over the past 30 days. Across his prior trades at SYM, this insider has a mixed record: his 2025-08-12 sale posted a 90-day return of +37.1%, while his 2024-06-07 sale saw a 90-day return of -51.7%, indicating inconsistent timing outcomes at this specific ticker. The full liquidation signal, combined with the company's full-year unprofitability despite strong revenue growth of 25.6%, warrants investor attention to the board's confidence in near-term prospects.

Chief Strategy Officer Boyd William M III liquidates entire 20,115-share position in 6 transactions for $1,361,810.17 via 10b5-1 plan.

Boyd William M III, Chief Strategy Officer, executed a complete liquidation of his shareholding through 6 separate sales totaling 20,115 shares for $1,361,810.17 across January 2–5, 2026. The transactions were conducted at prices ranging from $60.18 to $69.00, with a blended average price of $67.70. This filing is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning the sales were scheduled in advance rather than discretionary. The complete elimination of the filer's position leaves him with zero shares post-transaction, a material change from his prior full shareholding.

SoftBank sells 3.50M SYM shares ($186.2M) at $53.21; holds 5.59M post-sale despite +25.6% YoY revenue growth and -$5.9M net income

SoftBank Group Corp., a 10% stakeholder, divested 3,500,000 shares valued at $186,243,750.00 on 2025-12-08, reducing its position by 38.5% to 5,590,000 shares remaining. The sale occurred at $53.21, which is 30.7% below the 52-week high of $87.30, as the stock has declined 13.4% over the past 30 days despite a 24.8% gain over 90 days. Symbotic is growing revenue at +25.6% annually to $592,121,000.00 in the latest quarter, but remains unprofitable with net income of $-5.9M, suggesting the company is in a capital-intensive growth phase. The sale represents a substantial reduction by a core stakeholder while the company is still loss-making, which investors should track alongside execution risk and path to profitability.

SVF Sponsor III sells 3,500,000 shares of SYM for $186.2M; stake reduced 38.5% to 5.59M shares.

SVF Sponsor III, a 10% owner, executed a substantial sale of 3,500,000 shares at $53.21, reducing its stake from 9,090,000 shares to 5,590,000 shares—a -38.5% reduction in holdings. The transaction occurred at a price $7.27 below the current market price of $60.48, and notably occurred during a period of significant recent momentum (stock up 24.8% over 90 days) and after the stock has declined 13.4% over the past 30 days from higher levels. The company trades near its 52-week high range and maintains substantial revenue of $592.1M with 25.6% annual growth, though it remains unprofitable with a negative net income of $-5.9M for its most recent full fiscal year. A major insider's deliberate reduction of a dominant stake while the company is unprofitable and experiencing near-term volatility warrants investor attention to both the sustained loss position and any context around the divestiture.

Chief Strategy Officer Boyd William M III sold 11,735 shares for $963,295.71 via 10b5-1 plan on 2025-11-03

Boyd William M III, Chief Strategy Officer, executed 4 separate sales totaling 11,735 shares for $963,295.71 on 2025-11-03, reducing his holdings from 38,504 shares to 26,769 shares (a reduction of 30.5% of pre-transaction holdings). The blended average price across the sales was $82.09. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning the sales were scheduled in advance and not made on a discretionary basis. As a scheduled transaction under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, this sale does not reflect a real-time market judgment by the insider but rather the execution of a predetermined trading schedule.
