Samsara Reports Strong Q3 Results with First Profit, Stock Reaction Mixed
Samsara Inc. (NYSE: IOT), a company specializing in connected operations platforms, announced strong financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.
The company reported $416 million in revenue for the quarter, a 29% increase from the same period last year. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) reached $1.75 billion, also up 29% year-over-year.
Samsara achieved a significant milestone by delivering its first quarter of profitability.
The company added a record 219 new customers generating more than $100,000 in ARR and tied its record by adding 17 new customers with over $1 million in ARR.
Despite exceeding earnings estimates, Samsara's stock remained mostly flat after the results were announced, as revenue guidance for the next quarter was only slightly above expectations.
It means Samsara made more money than it spent during the third quarter, marking the first time the company has reported a profit.
Although Samsara beat earnings estimates, its revenue forecast for the next quarter was just slightly better than expected, which may not have excited investors.
Annual recurring revenue is the amount of money a company can expect to receive every year from its customers' ongoing subscriptions or contracts.
Samsara provides technology to help companies manage and connect their operations, such as vehicles, equipment, and workers, through software and sensors.
