research_scan theme='robotics-humanoids'; value_chain_position='downstream-beneficiary'; Closest US-listed rigid-goods warehouse-automation analogue to humanoid labour-substitution thesis; Walmart anchor customer at scale. Apparel-DC analogue (where Catalyst Brands deployment lands) is more fragmented — exposure may route through facility-services + material-handling suppliers (Honeywell Intelligrated, Dematic via Kion) rather than a pure-play. C-09 transmission mechanism: SYM sells into the BLS Material Moving Workers cohort substitution at scale today, regardless of whether humanoid OEMs win the next tier.
