We recently published a list of These 10 Stocks Boast Double-Digit Gains Amid Boring Market. Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ:SYM) is one of the best-performing stocks on Thursday.
Symbotic surged by 14.57 percent on Wednesday to close at $35.70 apiece as investors gobbled up shares following Amazon CEO Andrew Jassy’s letter to employees, underscoring the future of warehouse automation and robotics.
In a letter to employees, Jassy underscored the company’s increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence, saying that it will need fewer people to do some of the jobs over time.
“In our fulfillment network, we’re using AI to improve inventory placement, demand forecasting, and the efficiency of our robots—all of which have improved cost to serve and delivery speed,” Jassy was quoted as saying.
Jassy’s message spilled over to Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ:SYM), which is heavily focused on warehouse automation and robotics, as investors placed bets on expectations of stronger demand for its solutions amid the broader shift towards AI.
