For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, management expects non-GAAP earnings per share between 6 cents and 7 cents. The consensus mark is pegged at 7 cents per share, indicating an increase of 40% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The estimate has remained unchanged over the past 60 days.
Samsara’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average earnings surprise of 153.8%.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Samsara expects revenues between $371 million and $373 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $372 million, suggesting growth of approximately 24% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Samsara’s fiscal second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from scaling of its AI-powered connected platform, multiproduct adoption, OEM partnerships, strong ARR expansion, and margin leverage.
AI continues to be a key growth catalyst for IOT as a rising number of construction, logistics, transportation and public sector entities are adopting AI-powered solutions for safety, maintenance, and workflow management to optimize operations and fleet management.
Samsara’s AI-based solutions have been reducing accidents, improving maintenance, and extending asset lifespan for its customers and this has been a key growth driver in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, when Samsara crossed the $1.54 billion in ARR, up 31% year over year. This trend is likely to continue in the upcoming quarterly results.
As Samsara collaborates with leading OEMs of the world and uses worker training & gamification in its offerings, this will benefit the company in enhancing adoption and retention in the to be reported quarter. These factors are likely to have improved Samsara’s ACV in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, tariff-driven uncertainty, elongated enterprise sales cycles, regional competition in Europe, and reliance on large accounts are expected to have remained headwinds for the company in the to-be-reported quarter.
