In other recent news, Samsara Inc. reported its fourth-quarter earnings, surpassing analysts’ expectations. The company posted an adjusted earnings per share of $0.11, exceeding the anticipated $0.07. Revenue for the quarter reached $346.3 million, which was above the consensus forecast of $335.35 million and marked a 25% increase from the previous year. However, the company’s guidance for the upcoming quarter and fiscal year 2026 did not meet investor expectations. Samsara anticipates first-quarter earnings per share between $0.05 and $0.06, aligning with analysts’ estimates, and revenue between $350 million and $352 million, which is close to the $351.3 million consensus. For fiscal year 2026, the company projects 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 was slightly below the midpoint of analysts’ expectations of $1.528 billion. The company also reported an annual recurring revenue of $1.458 billion, up 32% year-over-year, with 2,506 customers generating over $100,000 in ARR. Despite the strong earnings, the guidance led to a negative investor reaction.
