Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2026) - Grabar Law Office is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ: SYM) securities on or before February 5, 2024.

What is Happening? The investigation follows a recent federal court decision permitting significant securities fraud claims against Symbotic and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard B. Cohen, to proceed.

On July 23, 2026, Chief Judge Denise J. Casper of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts denied in part defendants' motion to dismiss a securities fraud class action against Symbotic and certain of its senior executives.

What is Alleged? The underlying securities fraud class action alleges that Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ: SYM), through certain executives, misled investors concerning the Company's progress in accelerating deployment of its warehouse automation systems. Among other things, it is alleged that Symbotic repeatedly represented that it was successfully accelerating system deployments even though the Company's average system deployment time allegedly remained approximately 24 months and its primary engineering, procurement and construction outsourcing partner was experiencing significant operational problems.

What Did the Court Hold? The Court specifically found adequately alleged that, during a February 5, 2024 earnings call, CEO Richard Cohen responded to a question concerning Symbotic's ability to further accelerate deployments by stating that, based upon what the Company then knew, "we can go faster, we can go a lot faster." The Court concluded that Cohen's statement was plausibly misleading in light of allegations that Symbotic's average deployment times had remained stagnant and that the Company's principal outsourcing partner was experiencing significant performance problems. The Court also permitted claims based upon Cohen's May 6, 2024 statements concerning Symbotic's purported acceleration of deployments to proceed.

Significantly, the Court found the allegations sufficient to support a strong inference of scienter [knowing falsity or reckless disregard for the truth] as to Cohen and, by imputation, Symbotic. Among other things, the Court relied upon Cohen's subsequent disclosure that Symbotic had been hiring personnel in the engineering, procurement and construction area during the six months preceding July 2024 and was considering bringing those functions back in-house.

On February 5, 2025, Symbotic subsequently disclosed that the Company was "still averaging 24 months" to complete deployments and that accelerating deployment times would "take some time."

The Court denied the motion to dismiss the Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 claim against Symbotic and Cohen concerning the allegedly misleading deployment statements. The Court also permitted related Section 20(a) control-person claims against Cohen, Chief Financial Officer Carol J. Hibbard and former Chief Manufacturing and Supply Chain Officer Walter Odisho to proceed.
