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.

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.
