Samsara stock tumbled on Friday after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that topped Wall Street targets while fiscal 2026 sales guidance just met expectations.
The San Francisco-based company released its earnings report after the market close on Thursday. For Q4, Samsara reported earnings of 11 cents per share on an adjusted basis, up 175% from a 4-cent profit a year earlier. Meanwhile, revenue rose 25% to $346.3 million, the company said.
Analysts expected Samsara to report a profit of 7 cents a share on sales of $335.3 million. Annual recurring revenue from subscriptions rose 32% to $1.46 billion vs. estimates of $1.451 billion.
"Holistically, we think Samsara's Q4 results were solid, with good net new ARR growth and mostly consistent commentary on sales trends and pipeline, although against high expectations," said BMO Capital Markets analysts Daniel Jester in a report.
The company added 203 customers with over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue, giving it 2,506 overall.

"Despite a world of near-term uncertainty, Samsara continues to see strong momentum in enterprise-level customers with a record number of large customer deals in the quarter."
