Samsara CEO Sanjit Biswas sells over $7 million in stock

Sanjit Biswas, the Chief Executive Officer of Samsara Inc. (NYSE:IOT), recently executed significant stock sales totaling approximately $7.1 million. The transactions, disclosed in a recent SEC filing, occurred on March 4 and 5, 2025. The sales come as Samsara, with its $24.46 billion market capitalization, has demonstrated strong revenue growth of 39% over the last twelve months.

The sales involved multiple blocks of Samsara’s Class A Common Stock. On March 4, Biswas sold shares valued at approximately $5.6 million, with prices ranging from $43.641 to $45.1995. A subsequent sale on the same day, valued at about $1.46 million, had prices ranging between $43.6202 and $45.2243. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued at current levels, with recent price movements showing significant volatility.

These transactions were conducted under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow insiders to set up a predetermined plan to sell company stock. Following these sales, Biswas retains a significant ownership stake in the company, holding over 1.3 million shares directly, as well as shares held in trusts over which he has voting or investment power.

Investors often scrutinize such insider sales for potential insights into the executive’s outlook on the company’s future performance. However, it is important to note that these sales are part of pre-established trading plans and do not necessarily reflect the executive’s current sentiment about Samsara’s prospects.

In other recent news, Samsara Inc. reported fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, with adjusted earnings per share reaching $0.11, surpassing the analyst estimate of $0.07. The company’s revenue for the quarter was $346.3 million, exceeding the consensus forecast of $335.35 million and marking a 25% increase from the previous year. Despite these positive results, Samsara’s guidance for the upcoming quarter and fiscal year 2026 did not meet investor expectations. The company projects first-quarter earnings per share to be between $0.05 and $0.06, aligning with analyst estimates, and revenue between $350 million and $352 million, close to the $351.3 million consensus. For fiscal year 2026, Samsara anticipates earnings per share of $0.32 to $0.34, above the $0.28 consensus, but its revenue guidance of $1.523 billion to $1.533 billion fell short of the midpoint analyst expectation of $1.528 billion. Additionally, Samsara reported an annual recurring revenue of $1.458 billion, showing a 32% increase year-over-year, and noted growth in its customer base, with 2,506 customers having annual recurring revenue over $100,000. These recent developments highlight Samsara’s continued growth, though the company’s future projections have raised some concerns among investors.
