Samsara combines 30% revenue growth, a Rule of 40 score of 45, extraordinary free cash flow conversion at 422% of net income, and a perfect four-quarter earnings beat streak — but a confirmed technical downtrend with a death cross, 98% revenue concentration in a single platform, and a momentum score at the floor of its acceptable range create a compelling case for patience rather than immediate entry.

About Samsara Inc.
About Samsara Inc.
Samsara's Connected Operations Platform generated $1,618.6 million in revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, up from $1,249.2 million the prior fiscal year, with approximately 98% derived from subscriptions in each of the past two fiscal years. The Data Platform processed over 25 trillion data points in fiscal year 2026. At January 31, 2026, Samsara counted 3,194 large customers — each contributing over $100,000 in ARR — representing approximately 61% of total ARR, and over 12,000 Core Customers accounting for approximately 85% of ARR.
Samsara earns subscription revenue priced on a per-asset, per-application basis across applications including AI Video-Based Safety, Telematics, Asset Tracking, Routing, Commercial Navigation, Connected Training, and Connected Forms, sold predominantly through a direct sales force. Larger customers require longer, less predictable sales cycles that involve considerable time and expense. Hardware — IoT devices including cameras, GPS trackers, and diagnostic sensors — is sold alongside subscriptions to connect offline assets; the company acknowledges dependence on a limited number of joint design manufacturers and critical component suppliers for these IoT devices. Net loss narrowed from $154.9 million in FY2025 to $9.1 million in FY2026, reflecting scale efficiencies on the fixed-cost subscription infrastructure. The platform integrates with over 350 third-party applications via the Samsara App Marketplace.
Show full overview
The 10-K identifies dependence on a limited number of joint design manufacturers and IoT component suppliers as a material risk that could adversely affect the company's ability to sell subscriptions, impact margins, and weigh on results of operations. Unlike pure-software platforms, Samsara's model requires physical devices to connect offline vehicles and equipment to the cloud, meaning a manufacturing disruption or component shortage could delay new customer onboarding, harm margins, and limit subscription revenue growth.
